Cruises: Your Floating Vacation, Fully Planned
There’s nothing quite like a cruise. You unpack once, wake up in a new destination each day, and everything from meals to entertainment is included. Whether you're exploring the Caribbean, Alaska, Europe, or beyond, cruising offers adventure, relaxation, and convenience all rolled into one.
As the owner of Wanderlust Vacation Travel, I help my clients find the perfect cruise—matched to their travel style, dietary needs, and any sensory or accessibility preferences. All you have to do is come aboard!
Why I Recommend Cruises
Unpack Once, See the World
Visit multiple destinations without worrying about transportation, hotels, or constantly repacking.Built-In Entertainment
Broadway-style shows, comedy, live music, movie nights under the stars—cruises are packed with things to do (or not do, if you prefer a nap by the pool!).Dining That’s Always Available
Enjoy 24/7 dining options, specialty restaurants, room service, and drinks packages to fit your style and budget.Perfect for Every Type of Traveler
Solo? Group? Honeymoon? Family with young kids or teens? There's a cruise that fits. I’ll help you find the right one.
Gluten-Free Cruising: Yes, You Can!
As someone with celiac disease, I know how intimidating cruise buffets and set menus can feel. But the right cruise line will make you feel seen and safe. I work with cruise lines that:
Offer gluten-free or allergy menus
Have trained chefs who understand cross-contamination
Can accommodate celiac-level safety when you notify them in advance
I’ll guide you through the process of notifying the cruise line, requesting meals, and knowing what to expect on board.
Autism-Friendly Cruising
I’m currently working toward my Certified Autism Travel Professional credential through IBCCES, and I have family and close loved ones on the autism spectrum. I understand the unique needs of neurodivergent travelers and how overwhelming travel can feel without the right support.
Cruising can be a great option when planned thoughtfully. I recommend cruise lines with:
Autism-friendly programs and staff training
Quiet zones and sensory-friendly accommodations
Structured schedules and visual tools
Flexible dining options
Let’s create a cruise experience that feels calm, inclusive, and full of joy—not stress.
Cruise Lines I Trust & Love
