Small ships- whether expedition or luxury ships - are wildly popular worldwide now- Alaska to Antarctica to Norway and Northwest Passage; I'm in the right business!
European River cruises are also a large part of my practice. I look forward to helping you plan your luxury/adventure small ship adventure.

Patty is a cruise industry veteran. She opened one of the first cruise-only agencies in the'80s in Tucson, then worked onboard the Holland America ships in Alaska , Panama Canal, Mexico, and the Caribbean. After being transferred to Michigan, she opened the first Alaska-only agency where she was a top office for both Holland America and 2 Alaska small ship companies. After literally hundreds of Alaska trips, she still has a passion for the Great Land. Today she specializes in high-end casual and luxury small ships to Alaska, away from the crowds, as well as hand-picked quality land companies, and River Cruises too! Patty likes quality small ships, from the Amazon to Antarctica. Her passion is matching people to the right ship and cabin, and being detail-oriented and quickly responsive to service her loyal clients in a friendly, professional manner. She resides in a seacoast town in Maine with a loyal clientele worldwide.
