Cruise Travel Agent Expert

I have been in the cruise industry for more than 20 years and I have an extensive knowledge which helps me find the best cruise for my guests.

I am originally fro Barcelona, Spain, and already as a child I loved to travel with my family around Spain, meet new people, hear a different accent and taste different flavours and of course enjoy the beach in the summer.

Already as a teenager I was travelling all around Europe; England, The Netherlands and France and soon to all European countries.

I have always worked in the cruise industry, my first job was as in a travel agency having all cruise lines as clients. Cruise ships dock at the Port of Barcelona there are we prepared embarkation and disembarkation of guests, transfers to the airport, to the hotels we worked with for pre and post packages as well as excursions around the city.

In the summer I spent many hours at the port working as a Manager making sure everything was running smoothly and soon a Royal Caribbean offered me a job to work at the Guest Relations Desk on board of a ship out of Miami.

During that time I visited all Caribbean islands and took all the shore excursions.

I was on board of ships for five years until decided to leave ships and live in Miami.Once in Miami I worked with Royal Caribbean, Celebrity y and Azamara's Private Journeys worldwide.

Private Shore Excursions in any port where guests requested a private arrangement. After that Intercruises hired me as Americas Shore Excursions Manager, shore excursions in all  U.S. and Canada for all cruise lines: Princes, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Norwegian, Holland America, and all the others. I was also in charge of groups that had pre and post packages: hotels, excursions, different events. I was always travelling and doing something that I loved.

I currently live in South Florida and I have worked with different cruise companies, vacation packages, groups and many hotels. I love what I do and I make sure my customers have a great vacation!

I am originally fro Barcelona, Spain, and as a child traveled with my family all around Spain. I always spent the summers at the beach in a little village in Costa Brava enjoying the cold waters and catching delicious seafood with my father that my mother would cook. We always travelling around Spain and I have pretty much say that I have been almost everywhere.

As a teenager I was travelling all around Europe; England, The Netherlands and France and soon to all European countries.

I was always travelling and I visited all the post in the U.S.,  I visited Seattle a few times.

Seattle, Washington; whether you are looking for an outdoor adventure, world-class museums visits, historic neighborhoods, or an unparalleled coffee culture, the Emerald City delivers an great experience. It is a destination where you can hike through old-growth forests in the morning and attend a world-class opera or dine at a James Beard Award-winning restaurant by night

Also great hotels hotels for any preference not far from the center.

Pike Place Market is Seattle’s historic, 9-acre public farmers' market overlooking the Puget Sound. Located in downtown Seattle, it is the oldest continuously operating public farmers' market in the United States (established in 1907) and is known as the "soul of the city" fresh seafood flying at the fish market, artisan crafts, and local eateries.

For the coffee loves, you need to know that the very first Starbucks opened in March 1971 in Seattle’s in the historic Pike Place Market. I always take groups to learn about coffee history, production, and roasting techniques, and of course taste a few samples.

Nothing better that having a drink or a coffee in the Revolving Bar in the Space Needle, definitely something to remember.

The Space Needle is an iconic 605-foot-tall observation tower in the Seattle Center. Built as the architectural centerpiece for the 1962 World's Fair to symbolize humanity's Space Age aspirations, it remains the defining landmark of the Pacific Northwest skyline.

At the base we have the Chihuly Garden and Glass. The Garden is a beautifully landscaped outdoor urban garden space. The lush backdrop of colorful trees, plants, and flowers is purposely designed to intertwine and complement the majestic glass sculptures.

China Town is a vibrant multi-ethnic hub downtown. Unlike traditional single-culture Chinatowns, Seattle's is unique because it blends three distinct neighborhoods: Chinatown, Japan town (Nihonmachi), and Little Saigon. 

Central Waterfront: Bustling shoreline strip home to the giant Seattle Great Wheel, the Seattle Aquarium, and daily Washington State Ferries departing across the Puget Sound.

Seattle Art Museum (SAM): Premier global art hub showcasing extensive Native American collections and modern installations.

Whale Watching tours depart directly from downtown, often you get to see orcas.

The Boeing factory features the world’s largest building by volume., offering an 80-minute guided excursion to view the assembly lines of Boeing's widebody aircraft, impressive, you must not miss it.

Lots to see and enjoy in Seattle that I will help you discover as a Travel Advisor, making sure my clients have an unforgettable time in Seattle!

I am from Spain, Barcelona. The first foreign language I studied at school was French, but soon I wanted to know what all the english 

I have always worked in the cruise industry and travel world. My fist job was as in a travel agency having all cruise lines as clients. Our team at the port was ready for embarkation, bus transfers, to the airport excursions, transfers for hotels and start again with embarkation. Team at the airport ready and team at the hotels.

My weekend trips were mostly to England, France, Portugal, Italy, The Netherlands, Monaco, Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Greece. 

During the summer I spent many hours at the port as a Manager making sure everything was running smoothly and soon a Royal Caribbean offered me a job to work at the Guest Relations Desk on board of a ship out of Miami.

During that time I visited all Caribbean islands and Key West; Puerto Rico,  Bahamas, Jamaica, Dominican Republic, Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Cozumel and Aruba and some Mexican ports. 

I was on board of ships for five years until decided to live in Miami. I worked for Royal Caribbean, Celebrity y and Azamara's Private Journeys worldwide, Private Shore Excursions in any port that guests my request.

After that Intercruises hired me, Americas Shore Excursions Manager, visiting all U.S. and Canada ports, venues, contracts with hotels, buses, guides always preparing the new seasons and finding new ideas to offer all cruise lines. I was always traveling and Washington DC was one of the shore excursions The White House, The Capitol, the supreme Court, the Jefferson Memorial, Martin Luther King Memorial, Monuments and history related. We arranged lunch or dinner at a famous restaurant.

Unfortunately the pandemic hit hard the cruise industry and I lost my job and i couldn't work for almost two years.

After that I decided that with my experience I could be a god Travel Advisor doing something that I love and creating an unforgettable experience
