About Cruise Holidays of Oakville

Aside from being a mother and grandmother to three I have been blessed with a career that has afforded me hours of joy and wonderful memories.

I entered the world of cruise travel in December of 1992 after graduating with honours from the Mississauga School of Travel and Tourism. For the next five years I was with The Cruise Professionals. After leaving The Cruise Professionals an opportunity presented itself that turned out to be one of the best decisions I have made during my working career. And that was to join the Cruise Holidays family.

We opened our doors in downtown Oakville in September of 1996 and proudly hung our Cruise Holidays sign. I started with myself and one employee and we have steadily grown over the years to a team of seventeen.

Travel has always been a love of mine. From the time I graduated from university and spent six weeks in Europe I knew that I wanted to be a travel agent or a flight attendant. However I took a detour for a number of years and worked in our family business before starting on my “travel” career in 1997.

I’ve been told that I’m a natural at helping my clients plan their cruise and land vacations. My excitement coupled with extensive knowledge of various cruise lines and ships, as well as a multitude of worldwide destinations keep my clients coming back time and again. I am privileged to say that I have been helping many of my clients for more than twenty years.

You can’t be everything to everyone! But you can be the best at what you do! These are statements I take to heart and do my best to live up to. That is why I chose to specialize in cruise vacations. Being able to focus on cruising allows me to give my clients superior service with years of knowledge on all things cruising – both ocean and river cruising.

Needless to say I love travelling and cruising in particular. And I enjoy being able to create the type of memorable experiences that I have had, for my clients. No request is too large or detail too small. Whether you need help in booking just a cruise or a cruise and customized land/air arrangements – I’m your girl.

I have seven years of experience helping clients with their cruise vacations – family cruises, honeymoon cruises, winter getaways and cruises to new and exciting destinations on your bucket list. Let’s talk and plan the perfect cruise for your next vacation.

Being fortunate enough to have lived in Europe for 15 years I had many opportunities to travel extensively throughout the region gaining first-hand knowledge of Europe’s beautiful landscapes, it’s history, great architecture and wonderful culture. This puts me in a unique position to really help my clients plan their European vacations.

A particular passion of mine is cruising. I was hooked after my first cruise and have now spent more than 150 nights on board various cruise ships to these destinations:

Exploring the possibilities and making your travel dreams come true!” This has always been my goal since I entered the travel industry over 20 years ago with the Cruise Holidays family! Together with my travel agent husband Richard, we bring to you a wealth of knowledge, expertise, and experience.

I worked for many years as a Registered Real Estate Agent, before deciding to make a career change, and what could possibly be more rewarding? The answer was easy – Travel with Cruising as my forte.

I give individual attention to each person in assisting them with all their travel arrangements including cruise selection, air, insurance, pre and post cruise stays, as well as selecting excursions.

As the host for your escorted group cruise, I am available to all my guests to assist in making it the most enjoyable experience it can be.

With over 48 cruises I have taken to destinations such as:
