Custom Cruise Experience
March 22, 2025
What is a custom cruise experience, and why should I consider it?
A custom cruise experience goes beyond simply booking a cruise. It includes personalized services such as pre- or post-cruise accommodations, tailored shore excursions, flight arrangements, and transportation logistics designed to fit your unique preferences and needs. You should consider it if you want a seamless, stress-free vacation experience with curated itineraries that avoid "cookie-cutter" experiences and ensure you get the most out of your time and investment. It allows you to enjoy every moment of your adventure because all the planning and preparation are handled for you, and it makes higher-value cruises more worthwhile.
What services are typically included in a custom cruise experience package?
Services can include a discovery call to determine preferences, detailed customized itinerary proposals (delivered digitally, often through an app), pre- and post-cruise planning (flights, accommodations, tours, and activities), bespoke shore excursion planning, revisions based on your feedback, tips, restaurant and activity recommendations, city guides, troubleshooting advice, access to exclusive industry rates and travel suppliers, complete trip management (payments, requests, confirmations, and reminders), travel documents accessible offline, and support before, during, and after the trip.
If I don't want a fully custom experience, are there any other options?
Yes, there are options for travelers who prefer to plan some aspects themselves. I offer DIY planning guides that offer suggestions for hotels, transportation, and activities in various cities so you can handle those arrangements on your own. The goal is to provide support at your preferred level of involvement.
What tools and resources are used to create a custom cruise experience?
I work with vetted partners to ensure the best possible experience and value. I have relationships that allow me to build an experience that aligns with your travel dreams.
