Astrum Voyages plans river, small-ship luxury and expedition cruises, and designs the land journey before and after, so the whole trip feels seamless.
Choosing a cruise isn't really about the ship. It's about the right sailing, the right stateroom, and the right days on land before and after. I help you choose all three, and I design the journey around it so it feels like one seamless experience.
River Cruising
Glide past vineyards, castles, and village squares, unpacking once while the scenery comes to you. Wonderful for couples, friends, and multi-generational families.
Small-Ship & Yacht Luxury
Intimate ships, exceptional service, and harbors the big ships can't reach.
Expedition
Glaciers, wildlife, and the far edges of the map, with comfort waiting at the end of each adventurous day.
Land and sea, designed as one
Some of my favorite journeys blend both, like exploring Japan on land and then continuing by yacht. I design the hotel nights before you sail, the transfers, and the time after you return to shore, so nothing feels like a handoff.
What I take care of
- Choosing the right line and sailing for you
- Stateroom location and category
- Pre- and post-cruise hotel stays
- Shore experiences worth your time
- Celebration touches on board
- Group sailings for family and friends
Recognized as one of Virgin Voyages' Top 100 Travel Advisors in North America in 2022 and 2023.
I also plan sailings on many popular ocean cruise lines for families and groups. Just ask.

Cruise
Good to know
- Which types of cruises does Jen plan?
- I plan river cruises past vineyards, castles and village squares; small-ship luxury sailings into smaller harbors; and expedition voyages to places like glaciers at the edge of the world. I also plan Virgin Voyages sailings and ocean cruises. For each, I help you choose the right line, sailing and stateroom.
- Can you combine a cruise with a custom land journey?
- Yes, and that's where I add the most. I design the days before and after your sailing, including hotels, transfers and experiences on land, so the whole trip feels like one seamless journey. Japan by land and sea is a favorite example of how a cruise and a custom land journey come together beautifully.
- How do I choose between a river and an ocean cruise?
- River cruises are intimate and scenic: you unpack once, dock in the heart of towns, and watch the landscape glide by. Ocean cruises cover more distance and offer more onboard variety. The right choice depends on who's traveling, your pace and what you want to see, and we'll decide that together.
