OCEAN CRUISES · RIVER CRUISES · EXPEDITION CRUISES

So many ships. So much fine print.
Good thing I know cruising from the inside.

Seven years working at sea. Decades in cruise-line leadership. Relationships built throughout the industry. I use that experience to look beyond the polished promises, compare ships and itineraries, and choose the ocean, river, or expedition cruise that truly fits—then stay by your side from booking to bon voyage and beyond.

YOUR VACATION. YOUR WAY.

Find your kind of extraordinary.

Big horizons, storied rivers,
and adventures at the edge of the map.

Extraordinary means something different to everyone. You bring the dream; I bring decades of cruise experience, honest guidance, and the kind of support that doesn’t disappear once you’ve booked.

Your expert. Your advocate. By your side from “What if?” to “Wow.”

However you like to vacation, there’s a way to cruise it.

Big-ship thrills and nonstop entertainment. Sophisticated resort-style escapes. Small-ship intimacy. Yacht-like luxury. Destination-rich voyages where the ports take center stage. Ocean cruising can be as lively, laid-back, indulgent, or immersive as you want it to be.

Imagine unpacking once, waking up somewhere new, and having every day yours to fill—with discovery, great food, time together, or absolutely nothing at all.

I’ll help you cut through the polished websites and nearly identical promises, understand what each experience really offers, and choose with confidence—then stay by your side from booking to bon voyage and beyond.

Go where the ordinary itinerary ends.

Glaciers. Wildlife. Remote islands. Zodiac landings. Expedition cruising brings you closer to the places most travelers only dream about—and gives “getting away from it all” an entirely new meaning.

These journeys come with specialized choices and plenty of important details. I’ll help you navigate them confidently, advocate for you, and make sure the adventure begins long before you step aboard.

BEYOND THE SHIP

The sea took me around the world.
Asia kept calling me back.

Seven years working at sea and decades in cruise-line leadership taught me how to understand ships, itineraries, service, and the countless details that shape a vacation.

Repeated travel through Asia gave me another kind of expertise—the kind that comes from returning, paying attention, building relationships, and realizing how much gets missed when remarkable destinations are treated as quick stops on someone else’s itinerary.

That combination is why Go2SeaWithMe reaches beyond cruising through two sister brands. Each gives a remarkable destination room to be the star—whether the journey unfolds by land, river, or sea.

TWO DESTINATIONS. TWO SISTER BRANDS.

China will surprise you.
Korea will steal the scene.

Each brand brings together my travel-industry experience, firsthand perspective, and personal guidance—but gives us room to explore one destination much more deeply than we ever could in a few paragraphs here.

Come for the icons. Stay curious enough to discover the food, neighborhoods, traditions, landscapes, everyday details, and people that make each country unforgettable. These dedicated sites help connect it all into a journey designed around you.

China is full of surprises.
I know where the wow begins.

Come for the Great Wall, the pandas, and ancient Xi’an. Leave talking about the warmth of the people, the dazzling skylines, the incredible food, and the China you never expected.

Through repeated travel, personally escorting groups, and relationships built on the ground, I’ll help make the complicated feel uncomplicated—and introduce you to a China that is welcoming, exciting, remarkably modern, and unlike anywhere else.

Discover China with me ↗

The Korea that caught your attention. And the Korea waiting beyond it.

You may have discovered Korea through its dramas, music, food, fashion, or breathtaking scenery. Now it’s time to experience the country behind the inspiration.

We’ll help you find a journey that brings together buzzing neighborhoods, peaceful temples, historic palaces, beautiful landscapes, unforgettable flavors, and everyday moments that could never fit on a screen.
