I'm Kelly, a Nexion / Travel Leaders Trusted Travel Advisor, and my passion lies in finding the Ocean or River Cruise vacation that best matches your vision. With over 26 personal cruise experiences across all major cruise lines, I bring invaluable firsthand knowledge to your travel planning.

With my extensive knowledge of destinations such as Alaska, the Caribbean, Europe, Mexico, the British Isles, the Mediterranean, and European Rivers. I offer rich insights and tailored recommendations for every client.

My firsthand experience and insider tips bring unique value to every journey. I demystify the entire process for first-time cruisers, making it easy and enjoyable. For seasoned travelers, I offer fresh perspectives and exciting new options. Under my guidance, families find hassle-free, multi-generational experiences. I manage group details and dynamics expertly using my promotion and event planning skills, which I have perfected during my 17 years as the marketing manager/director in the casino hospitality industry.

My professional achievements underscore my commitment to excellence. I hold Master Cruise Counselor, River Cruise, and Cruise Group Certification from the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA). Additionally, I am a Verified Travel Agent certified by the American Society of Travel Advisers (ASTA). These certifications, respected across the travel industry, attest to my unwavering dedication to providing top-notch service.

Attentive preparation is critical to a seamless travel experience. Before booking, we meet to discuss your expectations, desires, ship amenities, restaurants, and tours. We keep in touch during the booking to ensure everything goes as planned and you are ready for embarkation. Before departure, I prepare a personalized travel packet consisting of a detailed itinerary, maps, addresses, printed confirmations, luggage tags, and boarding passes. We review this packet together, imagining the vacation step by step and addressing any questions or concerns. This gives you a confident departure so you can focus on the most essential part of a vacation: making memories. So, here's to Traveling Better and Confidently. Let's embark on your next great adventure together!

Discover Alaska with a Knowledgeable Advisor!

Alaska - A Great Adventure

Alaska is a magical destination that stirs the soul and offers personal adventures. Towering glaciers, sprawling wilderness, and majestic wildlife promise discoveries at every turn. 

Exceptional vacations result from destination knowledge, firsthand experience, and meticulous planning. Ensuring a seamless travel experience starts with attentive preparation. What sets me apart is my ability to find unique vacation options that not only fit your budget but also exceed your expectations.

By collaborating with a professional Alaska travel agent, you can be assured of the best experiences and service, from initial planning to realizing your Alaskan dream. With three unforgettable explorations of Alaska under my belt—one with Holland America (Inside Passage from Vancouver to Anchorage) and two with Princess Cruise Lines (Cruise of the Glaciers from Vancouver to Anchorage and an 11-day Glacier Bay/Denali Cruise and Land Tour from Anchorage to Vancouver) I bring firsthand knowledge of these incredible adventures. I’m familiar with itineraries from Seattle, Vancouver, and Seward/Anchorage and have booked many clients on cruise lines such as Princess, Holland, Norwegian, Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Oceania, Seaborne, Celebrity, Un-Cruise, American Cruise Lines, and Nat Geo.

My intimate knowledge of ports and shore excursions allows me to match you with the best cruise line and uncover the nuances that make Alaska unique and breathtaking. Here’s how I make your Alaskan dream seamless:

• I meet with you before booking to discuss your expectations and desires thoroughly. This meeting allows me to match you with the cruise line that best fits your personality, level of service, and onboard expectations, crafting the exact journey tailored to your preferences.


• As your departure date approaches, I create a personalized travel packet featuring a detailed itinerary, maps, addresses, printed confirmations, luggage tags, and boarding passes. We review this packet to address any questions or concerns, instilling confidence and peace of mind for a stress-free departure. And allowing you to focus on the most essential part of a vacation: making unforgettable memories.

I have completed training with Royal Caribbean, Princess, Holland, Norwegian, Celebrity, Disney, American Cruise Lines, Un-Cruise, and Seabourn. In addition, I am a certified Princess Alaska Expert and Holland America Alaska Cruise & Tour Counselor. I am a Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) member and the American Society of Travel Advisers (ASTA). With CLIA, I hold the rank of Master Cruise Counselor (MCC) and am certified in Group and River cruising. With ASTA, I completed my classes and am a Verified Travel Agent. My agency, Aqua Breeze Vacations, boasts an A+ rating from the BBB. These credentials underscore our unwavering commitment to providing an exceptional Alaskan experience. 

As your trusted travel advisor, I am dedicated to helping you uncover the wonders of Alaska and transform your vision into an unforgettable reality. Feel free to reach out. My services are complimentary, so let’s talk and create this incredible journey together!
