Luxury Journeys by Land, Sea, and Private Jet

Cruising with a difference !
Cruising with a difference !

Whether you are taking your first luxury cruise, an amazing river cruise, jet around the world, or your next all-inclusive Sandals® vacation, I have the knowledge and personal travel experience to assist. I take the time to learn about you so I can match you to the right cruise line, ship, fabulous resort, private villa rental, or custom tour.


I travel frequently to experience cruise ships and luxury resorts firsthand. Plus, I can add VALUE in addition to personal knowledge to enhance your travel dollars. Want a hotel in Barcelona, comfortable but in your price range and near the action of Las Ramblas? - I know that, too.


I specialize in personal vacations and concierge travel services.


I enjoy working with each of you to customize your vacation to your needs. In our initial discussion I take the time to get to know YOU - your needs, your wants - and help you visualize your dreams!   I took my first cruise in 1987 on the Big Red Boat to Nassau and was instantly hooked on cruising ....and the idea of learning about different people and cultures...and seeing our beautiful world! Fifty-five+cruises later, I have my husband and our 3 daughters hooked on cruising and travel too! All together we've explored many places - with our family, our friends (I even cruise with many of my guests) ...and I have made MANY new friends along the way!


My favorite specialty - RIVER CRUISING. I've been on countless river cruises myself! Smaller intimate ships, VIP treatment, history, culture, wine, castles, fun with the locals, amazing cuisine.  What more could you ask for? Absolutely unique!


My guests are out enjoying...



  • River cruises

  • Jet cruises around the world

  • All-inclusive luxury vacations

  • Cruising to new lands on exciting itineraries on small, intimate ships

  • Experiencing new cultures through travel

  • Celebrating one of life's milestones - birthday, anniversaries, and graduations!

  • A Honeymoon (did you know that's the BEST part of getting married?)

  • & dream, bucket-list custom tours!


Want to know more about me, my approach to travel planning, and getting it right for you? Check out my playlist of video interviews below.


For a vacation most people only dream about call me at 919-747-9996. I look forward to "meeting" you and helping you MAKE MEMORIES! By the time you return from your concierge-planned vacation, you'll be hooked on cruising and travel, too!

Shari is knowledgeable and fantastic to work with
Shari is:
*super-responsive: she responds quickly by email and by phone (even on a Saturday!) with information, guidance, and suggestions
*super-knowledgeable: she took our family's info (seven people, three generations, myriad interests, tight timeline) and offered several options that fit-the-bill; plus, she shared her "favorites"
*super-organized: she kept us on track with important deadlines
*super-friendly: a lovely person to work with on such a big decision
Next time we have the opportunity to take a cruise, our first call will be to Shari - can't imagine another trip without her guidance and expertise!

Always a GREAT trip!
Shari is professional, timely, and dependable! I truly appreciate the I get a quick reply that she's on it or will get on it as soon as possible. That's important to me and acknowledges that she is aware of my interests. She will answer all of my crazy questions with a smile and then goes above and beyond when I come back with more as I try to plan the perfect trip. My friends have liked working with her, too. Whenever I see a "deal" or think about a new trip, the first person I think of is Shari!
