took her first walk up the gangway of a cruise ship in 1977 and it was love at first sailing. "Once I heard that ship's whistle blow it sent a shiver through me that changed my life!" She has dedicated her career to the cruise industry. First as an instructor working for Pacific Cruise Conference and Cruise Lines International Association, during which time she had the opportunity to conduct many "Seminars at Sea" aboard a variety of cruise liners training travel agents how to sell and promote cruise vacations. Later she worked as a Regional Sales Manager for a cruise line specializing in Mediterranean and South American Cruises. It was only natural that this extensive cruise background would eventually evolve into an agency that is dedicated to working with the cruise lines to bring YOU her very best cruise expertise and knowledge.

She has traveled extensively throughout the world during her 25 years in the travel industry. Karen has worked for Canadian Airlines, Carnival Cruise Lines, and she was the shipboard group tour director on Costa Cruise Line cruising for months at a time throughout the Caribbean and South America. She was co-owner of a '65 cutter-rigged sailing schooner, Silent Lady, a vessel used for snorkel and sailing trips in St. Thomas (U.S. Virgin Islands).

She has earned a degree in Travel and Tourism and is highly qualified to work with YOU to make sure that your cruise vacation is everything you've dreamed it would be!

We are both new to this high tech, online business. We are accustomed to working with the telephone and quite honestly, we prefer to hear a human voice at the other end of the phone. Please don't hesitate call us! We are NOT high-pressure and you will enjoy talking to us. We want to help you find the perfect cruise to meet your personal needs, expectations and budget.
