Group of travelers gathered together on a scenic terrace
Specialty

Small groups and hosted departures, planned with real care.

Milestone birthdays, anniversaries, multi-generational family trips, close friend groups, and affinity travelers. I plan private groups end-to-end, and I host select departures myself where being onsite matters.

Why plan this with me

Why group travel works when it's planned right.

01

Private groups built around the occasion

A 60th birthday cruise, a family reunion in Europe, a girlfriends' river cruise. The itinerary is shaped around the milestone, not the other way around.

02

Hosted departures I personally lead

For select trips I host onboard or onsite. That means a familiar face at embarkation, private group moments planned throughout, and one point of contact if anything comes up.

03

One planner, one bill, less friction

Groups get complicated fast. I keep the logistics, cabin assignments, dining reservations, transfers, and payment schedules organized so your group can just show up and enjoy it.

04

Group perks worth having

Where the cruise line or hotel offers group amenities such as onboard credit, private events, or added inclusions, I structure the booking so your travelers actually receive them.

How many people can you accommodate for a hosted group departure?

+

Group sizes vary. Private family groups typically run from 8 to 30 guests, which qualifies for group amenities on most cruise lines. Hosted departures, where I or a co-host travel with the group, generally range from 16 to 40. Larger groups are possible and unlock additional perks, though they take longer lead time to coordinate cabin blocks.

Do you host the group yourself?

+

Sometimes, yes. I lead select hosted departures where being onsite adds real value, such as milestone celebrations, cruise groups, or affinity trips. For other groups I plan the trip in detail but the group travels on their own with a clear day-by-day, contacts, and my support behind the scenes.

Are there group perks I can't get booking individually?

+

Often, yes. Group bookings can unlock amenities like onboard credit, complimentary cocktail hours, private shore experiences, or added tour inclusions that aren't available to individuals. I'll tell you exactly what your group qualifies for so nothing is a surprise.
