Denise C.

"Nikita made the entire process so easy. She took the time to really understand what we were looking for and found options that were perfect for us. We wouldn’t have even known where to start without her!"

Monica R.

"This was my first cruise and I had no idea what to expect. Nikita walked me through everything, answered all my questions, and made sure I felt confident every step of the way."

Angela M.

“I usually spend weeks researching trips, but cruising felt overwhelming, until Nikita stepped in. She helped us choose the right ship, explained what to reserve, and handled details I hadn’t even considered. It was the smoothest vacation we’ve ever taken. I’ll never plan another cruise without her."

What Travelers Are Saying...

Do you help with more than just reserving a cruise?

Yes — I take a full-service approach. That means I help arrange not only the cruise itself, but also flights, pre- and post-cruise hotels, ground transportation, shore excursions, dining packages, and travel protection. My goal is to make sure every piece of the journey is thoughtfully connected and not left to chance.

When is the best time to start planning a cruise?

Ideally, I recommend beginning the planning process 9 to 18 months in advance. This gives you the best access to preferred cabins, competitive pricing, and exclusive experiences, especially for popular itineraries or peak travel seasons.

Do you charge planning or service fees?

In most cases, there’s no extra cost to work with me when you reserve your cruise through my agency. Your cruise fare stays the same — the cruise line simply pays me a portion of the commission they would otherwise keep if you reserve directly.
Many travelers don’t realize that when they reserve direct, they’re still paying for advisor support — they just don’t receive it.
If a planning fee ever applies — such as for custom land arrangements, consultation-only services, or complex group travel — I’ll always explain it clearly and upfront so you can decide how you’d like to proceed.

Can you assist with dietary needs or accessibility requirements?

Absolutely. Whether it’s gluten-free meals, mobility accommodations, or medical considerations, I work directly with the cruise lines to ensure these needs are addressed early and thoroughly, so you can travel comfortably and with confidence.

What kind of support do you offer while clients are traveling?

I offer concierge-level support from the time your cruise is reserved until you’re back home. If questions come up, travel plans change, or an unexpected hiccup happens while you’re en route or onboard, I’m just a message away — ready to assist and advocate on your behalf

How do you get paid as a travel advisor?

When a client reserves their cruise through me, I’m paid by the cruise line, not by the traveler. There’s no extra cost added to the cruise fare for working with me; it’s simply part of how the cruise line compensates travel advisors.

In some situations — like planning custom land itineraries, providing consultation-only services, or managing complex group travel — I may charge a professional planning fee. If that’s the case, I’ll always explain it clearly and upfront, with no surprises.

If cruise lines pay you, do you only recommend certain ones?

Not at all. I have relationships with all the major ocean and river cruise lines, and I’m constantly expanding my network to meet the evolving needs of my clients. My recommendations are always based on what’s best for each traveler — their style, goals, and preferences — not on who pays me. My role is to be your advocate and guide, not a salesperson for any specific cruise line.

Can you help even if I already know which cruise I want?

Yes! If you’ve already selected a cruise and are ready to reserve, I can step in to handle the reservation, secure added amenities, and ensure nothing important gets overlooked — from cabin selection to travel insurance and port transfers.

What are the benefits of reserving my cruise through a travel advisor instead of direct with the cruise line?

Working with a travel advisor means having someone who listens, personalizes your experience, and looks out for your best interests, not the cruise line’s. You’ll get expert guidance, exclusive perks, and a single point of contact for everything from reserving to boarding.

Do you work with groups, multigenerational families, or special celebrations?

Yes! I love helping families, friend groups, and celebration travelers (like anniversaries, reunions, or milestone birthdays) find the perfect cruise match. I handle all the logistics so the group can simply focus on making memories together.

Do you only work with first-time cruisers?

Not at all. I work with both first-time and seasoned cruisers — including travelers who are looking to try a new cruise line, explore a different destination, or just want a more seamless planning experience the next time around.

Do you work with solo travelers?

Yes — I love working with solo travelers. Whether it’s your first solo cruise or your tenth, I help match you with the right cruise line, ship, and itinerary that fits your style, comfort level, and goals. I also help navigate options like solo-friendly cabins, reduced single supplements, and onboard experiences that make traveling solo feel welcoming and empowering. 

I already reserved my cruise — can I still work with you?

Yes, in many cases you can! If you’ve already reserved directly with the cruise line and would like to transfer your reservation to me for ongoing support and added value, it typically needs to be within 30 days of your original reservation and not be paid in full. I’m happy to check your specific situation and walk you through next steps if a transfer is possible.
