ABOUT DANIELLE

Travel Isn't What I Do ~ It's

Who I Am.

Before I was a travel consultant, I was crew.  I spent years working aboard cruise ships sailing the world's most iconic itineraries.  From the rivers of Europe to the beaches of the Caribbean, the ancient ports of the Mediterranean to the open waters of the South Pacific, through the engineering marvel of the Panama Canal and across the Suez into Asia.  I've sailed more of this world than most people will visit in a lifetime.

​

​"That's not a destination list I researched. 

It's a map of places I've actually sailed."

What that means for you is simple, when I suggest a ship, a cabin category, a shore excursion, or how to spend a port day, it comes from somewhere real.  I've felt the rhythm of those crossings.  I've wandered those ports on my days off.  I've learned, sometimes the hard way, which details quietly make a trip and which ones people wish someone had told them about sooner.  That experience doesn't live in a brochure.  It lives in the conversations I have with every client before we book a single thing.

​

Now as a certified Sea, Land & Air consultant based in Wasaga Beach, Ontario, Canada, I bring that same firsthand knowledge to every trip I plan.  From luxury river cruises and premium ocean cruise lines to all-inclusive adults-only escapes, Caribbean family vacations, and honeymoons that actually live up to the dream.

​

Every trip I plan deserves my attention.  I take my time to do the research and the phone calls so you don't have to.  When you work with me, you get one person who knows your travel style, remembers what you loved last time, and is genuinely excited to top it the next time.

​

Let's turn a vacation of a lifetime, into a lifetime of Fabulous vacations!

HOW I WORK

My Approach to

Planning Your Trip

It Starts With You

I don't sell packages.  I ask questions.  Before I recommend anything, I want to understand how you like to travel, what matters most to you, who's coming, and what you want to feel when you get home.  Every trip I plan starts with that conversation.

The Details Are Everything

I'm a luxury traveller at heart, which means I notice the details, the cabin deck that makes a difference, the dining reservation that needs to be made before you board, the shore excursion that books out months in advance.  I handle it all.

One Person, Start to Finish

From the first inquiry to the moment you're back home unpacking, you deal with me and only me.  No call centres.  No hand-offs.  Just one person who knows your trip inside and out and is reachable when you need her.

BEYOND THE BUSINESS

When I Travel,

It's Personal.

Life is busy, I know that better than anyone.  Life keeps moving so I don't always get to travel as often as I would like.  But when I do, I travel with intention.

​

I'm a luxury traveller at heart.  For me, travel is about the finer details, the quality of the experience, the thoughtfulness of the itinerary, the moments that don't happen by accident.  A perfectly timed sunset from the right deck.  A table at the right restaurant in the right port.  A cabin upgrade that changes the entire feel of a crossing.

​

That standard is what I bring to every trip I plan for you, because I'd never recommend something I wouldn't want for myself.
