Luxury Cruise Specialist | 40 years of experience | CLIA (Cruise Lines International Association) Cruise Master | Winner of the 2023 best home-based travel agent in Australia.
Starting out as a leisure consultant in Manly, I moved to the USA and then London, where I worked for American Express corporate travel. On my return to Sydney, I was employed by a large corporate agency allowing me to hone my skills working with premium travellers. It was there that I won ‘International Corporate Consultant’ for NSW at the AFTA Awards in 1999.
A lifestyle change brought me back into the industry again as a reservations manager for Select Hotels and then to retail, where my passion for cruising and planning amazing holidays has blossomed.
I love giving helpful advice and pride myself on being kept up to date with the latest hot spots and all things luxury.
Some of the cruise lines I have sailed with, or personally been invited on when in port are: Princess Cruises, Ponant, Silversea, Regent Seven Seas, Viking Ocean, Holland America , P&O World, P&O Australia, Oceania Cruises, Carnival Cruises, Royal Caribbean Cruises, Azamara Luxury Cruises, Celebrity Cruises , Crystal Cruises , Coral Discover , Voyages to Antiquity, Hapag Lloyd, Windstar, Captain Cook Cruises, Blue Lagoon, Seabourn, NCL – Norwegian Cruise line, Saga Cruises, Fred Olsen and True North.
If you’re new to cruising and would like some honest advice, give me a call. I would love to share with you my knowledge over a coffee. If you’ve got other travel plans you’d love to undertake, whether it’s a guided tour through Italy, an African safari or a family trip to the USA, I can certainly assist with these arrangements too.
