Cruise the World!

Hankering to take a cruise but don’t know where to begin?


I am a cruise specialist who can simplify the process for you, sorting through numerous options so that you don’t have to.


Before I became a travel advisor operating my own travel business, I worked on both the Holland America and Windstar ships and travelled extensively, stopping at ports in the United States, South America, the Caribbean and Europe.


I now live near the ports of Miami and Fort Lauderdale so I’ve checked out all the major cruise lines to learn about  accommodations, amenities, meals, entertainment, etc. I do all the research so you don’t have to, answer all your questions, and pin down every detail so you can relax and enjoy an unforgettable cruise that exceeds your expectations, whether your cruise takes you to Alaska, Antarctica, the rivers of Europe or some other fascinating location.

Ilja-a must for domestic and international travel
Ilja has helped us with flight arrangements and accommodations for the past 6 years or so. She is the calming presence in the storm of traveling, helping us with cancelled flights, trips that were canceled as Covid began its world-wide spread. We would never plan a trip without her help and feel very lucky to have found her.
