Ocean & River Cruise and All-Inclusive Specialist

I have been in the travel industry for over 9 years. The passion I had for travel that lead me to this career has only grown, and continues to daily. Every client has a unique travel dream and it is my goal to make it come true!

I am a Lindsay native and am delighted to serve as a travel agent in my hometown.  Providing travel assistance to the local community is rewarding, but I am also thrilled that the Internet allows me reach clients world wide.

I love to cruise! I am grateful to have cruised the Caribbean on a variety of cruise lines including Celebrity, Royal Caribbean and Carnival. Sailing the Mexican Riviera on the Ruby Princess, and Alaska on both the Norwegian Sun and Azamara Quest have been great highlights. My history iwith Princess Cruise lines extends to sailing on the Regal Princess twice: in October/17 to the Maritime provinces and again in August/18 to the Baltic.

In January 2018, I hosted a group cruise on the Norwegian Spirit to Barcelona, Casablanca, Canary Islands, Granada and Alicante Spain. This was a wonderful opportunity that I hope leads to more group cruises.

2019 was an amazing year for travel for me as I not only sailed the MSC Seaside in February, but I hosted two Distinctive Voyages: the Azamara Quest in Alaska in July and the Regent Navigator to New England and Bermuda in October, I also enjoyed a "Seminar at Sea" cruise on the Celebrity Summit in July of 2019 that included Bermuda. In November 2019, I enjoyed spending time in Turks and Caicos at the Beaches Resort. It was fabulous!

Since the dust has settled from the onslaught of Covid, I have had the opportunity to sail a second time on the Celebrity Summit doing a short 5 day cruise in the Caribbean. Being a Host with Distinctive Voyages has also allowed me to host two cruises in 2022: Azamara Onward - Instensive Ireland in August and Regent Splendor - Spain, Canary Islands and Morocco in October.

In 2023 I have hosted on Seabourn Ovation in July sailing a 14 day North Cape and Majestic Fjords of Norway cruise. I absolutely adored my time with Seabourn and will be sailing again with them in 2024. I also just returned from a 5 day Distinctive Voyage Retreat Cruise on Holland America's ms Nieuw Amsterdam that filled my days with Distinctive Voyage Hosting educations as well as networking with other hosts and cruise line representatives from Azamara, AmaWaterways, Celebrity, Explora Journeys, Holland America, Oceania, Seabourn, and Regent Seven Seas.

I am scheduled to host in 2024, back to back Seabourn cruises out of Barbados in March, an Azamara cruise along the Dalmation Coast in August and an AmaWaterways river cruise along the Sienne in France in September.

I have attended the Cruise Line International Association's conference in Fort Lauderdale. In addition to ship inspections of the Norwegian Escape, Celebrity Silhouette and Holland America ms Zuiderdam, I attended seminars, workshops panel discussions and a trade show to earn my Master Cruise Counsellor designation.

I also enjoy a quality vacation at an all-inclusive resort. I have been to several in Aruba, Nassau, Cancun, Puerto Plata in Dominican Republic, and Holguin and Varadero in Cuba. In addition, the memories my family has from our holiday at Walt Disney World in Orlando are priceless!

Sandals and Beaches Resorts are excellent options for couples and families. I   have toured all nine properties in Jamaica as well as Beaches in Turks and Caicos and highly recommend their distinct atmospheres.

A wonderful way to travel, the Escorted Tour, is an area that I enjoy planning for clients and anticipate growing my experience.

I look forward to helping you create your own travel memories!

Excellent service
Lisa is a pleasure to work with. She is knowledgeable and helpful, full of info re: cruising. She always responded to email questions promptly, even on days off. She provided lots of recommendations and tips. Always pleasant, polite, respectful, and happy. She listened to what we wanted out of this trip. .
Unfortunately for me, I had to cancel my trip due to family illness. She walked me through the whole process, obtaining all my paperwork and assisting me in any way she could.
I will certainly be contacting Lisa again for my travel needs, and will not hesitate to recommend her services to friends and family.
