HOW WE WORK TOGETHER
One standard.
Every journey.
My clients are not looking for more choices. They are looking for the right one, handled correctly. Below is the full scope of what I design and how every engagement is structured — from a focused cruise booking to a complex multi-destination journey.
All engagements begin with a planning fee paid before work starts. The fee is 100% non-refundable and reflects the work that begins immediately upon confirmation. Details shared upon inquiry.
The planning fee covers the design, research, and advisory work I do on your behalf. It is separate from and in addition to the cost of your trip, flights, hotels, and any activities or experiences booked.
CRUISE PLANNING
The right sailing,
decided correctly.
Every engagement begins with a planning fee. This is not a deposit toward your travel costs. It is what secures my time, my access, and the level of work I bring to every itinerary I design. I keep my client list selective by design. The planning fee is part of how that standard is maintained.
Preferred partner access, suite selection, and shore experience planning at a level most booking channels cannot reach.

Most Requested*| Planning fee from $400
—-
Most cruises are booked. Few are designed. The difference lives in the details that most travelers don't think about until something goes wrong: embarkation timing, pre-cruise hotel placement, transfers that actually connect, insurance that was chosen rather than defaulted to.This engagement is for travelers who want the full cruise experience considered from the start, not assembled after the fact.
Cruise planning, pre-cruise hotel placement, transfers, and travel insurance coordination are handled in full.

FULL DESIGN | Planning fee from $600
For travelers whose journey extends well beyond the ship. The land portion, the international routing, the properties, the timing, the experiences between ports — these require a different level of design than a cruise booking alone.This engagement covers the entire journey as a single cohesive plan. Nothing is left for you to research on arrival, negotiate at the front desk, or figure out in transit. Every element is placed with intention. Every contingency is considered before it becomes your problem.
ADVISORY ENGAGEMENTS
For journeys that extend beyond the ship.
Three engagement structures for complex land itineraries, transfers in progress, and ongoing travel management.
Advisory 01
Full Travel Design
Planning fee from $600
For complex land itineraries where every element needs to hold together. Destination selection, property placement, routing, timing, reservations, and execution are handled as a complete design, not a checklist. This is for travelers who want nothing left to interpretation once they depart.
Advisory 02
Transfer & Integration
Planning fee from $250
For travelers who have started the process elsewhere and need it properly finished. Existing bookings are reviewed, re-optimized where possible, and integrated into an experience that functions as a whole. What was booked in pieces becomes a designed trip.
Transfer eligibility is determined by the property or cruise line. Most require the booking to have been made within the past 14 days. Availability depends on whether the property or cruise line is within my partner network.
BEYOND THE CRUISE
The full scope of
what I design.
Every engagement is built around one principle: getting the journey exactly right. That applies whether you are boarding a ship, checking into a villa, or doing both.
-
01
Ultra-luxury and expedition lines. Suite selection, shore experiences, and preferred partner access that changes what is available to you. -
02
Multi-destination journeys designed as a single cohesive experience. Routing, pacing, and timing decided for strategic reasons. -
03
One trip that needs to be exactly right. Designed with the full picture in mind — not just where you go, but how the entire experience feels. -
04
Significant anniversaries, landmark birthdays, once-in-a-lifetime journeys. The standard is higher because the occasion demands it. -
05
Travel with multiple age groups requires a different level of coordination. Properties and itineraries that deliver fully for every person. -
06
Private group sailings, hosted departures, and curated group experiences. Handled as a single engagement with full attention to every traveler. -
07
Hotel room block coordination for weddings and destination events. Negotiated, managed, and communicated so you are not doing it yourself. -
08
Ground transportation, private airport transfers, private jet coordination, and the details that most advisors leave to chance.
What Happens When You Inquire
The process is simple.
01
You submit a brief inquiry
A short application so I understand your travel history, what you are drawn to, and what matters most. No phone tag, no forms that go nowhere.
02
I review and respond personally
Within one to two business days. All communication is conducted via email. Phone and text are reserved for travel days and emergencies onl
04
I handle everything from there
Reservations, logistics, timing, questions that come up along the way. You stay in the experience. I stay in the details.
03
A planning fee begins our work
My work begins with a planning fee. Details are shared upon inquiry. All fees are 100% non-refundable and due before work begins.
THIS IS FOR YOU:
You are the right fit if.
Your time is genuinely limited and you want one recommendation, not five options
You have traveled well before and know what the upper tier actually feels like
You are planning a trip that needs to be exactly right — milestone, multi-generational, or long-anticipated
You expect your advisor to lead, not wait to be told what to do
You plan 12 to 24 months out and understand why the best inventory disappears first
NOT THE RIGHT FIT:
This is not for you if.
You are looking for the lowest price or a last-minute deal
You want to stay in control of the details yourself
You need to be persuaded that a planning fee is worth it
You expect availability outside a structured, email-primary engagement
