Recognized By

Shawn Who?

I’m not a household name — but in the cruise industry, there’s nobody like me.

I’ve worked with nearly 8000 clients, sold tens of millions in cruises, and I have been recognized multiple times as one of North America’s BEST travel agents by the American Express Pacesetters program.

But what really matters is that my clients love the cruises I plan for them.

90% of the thousands of travelers I work with book with me again or refer a friend.

Let me tell you why.

How Am I Different?

I understand your frustrations because I was where you are now. It’s what led me to become a cruise consultant.

I researched online and read reviews. I called and chatted with cruise line reps and travel agents. But all I received were conflicting details and uncertain answers, so I dug even deeper — and discovered that sometimes even the official brochures weren’t accurate.

So I created a better way.

My Cruise Planning Isn’t Based On Scripts Or Brochures

It’s based on dozens of sailings, interviews with captains, crews, and passengers, plus extensive onboard documentation.

I Bring You Real, Unfiltered Advice

Like some travel agents, I’ve graduated from multiple cruise line training programs. I know their ships and the types of packages they offer.

Unlike most travel agents, I’ve also actually sailed with the cruise lines you’re researching. Regent and Seabourn, Tauck and Oceania, Celebrity and  AmaWaterways — all of the world’s premier cruise lines, all paid for myself to receive an unbiased experience.

So what I tell you isn’t just the product of marketing materials or sponsored reviews, it’s genuine information on how each cruise line is different and what you can expect.

Jeremy Palmer-President, Tauck

Working with Shawn is one of the best decisions you can make when considering or planning a Tauck trip. He knows our people and our journeys inside and out—because he’s spent years building a true partnership with us. That insight means he understands the little details that make a big difference.

What really sets Shawn apart, though, is the way he gets to know you. He listens, asks thoughtful questions, and genuinely cares about matching each guest with the right travel experience. It never feels transactional with Shawn — he builds relationships that last.

If you’re new to Tauck or simply want a trusted guide, please feel confident putting your travel dreams in Shawn’s hands. His knowledge, care, and intuition consistently lead to the best fit.

Trust him. We do.

We can’t say enough wonderful things about Shawn! He has arranged several trips for us, and every experience has been phenomenal. His attention to detail, excellent follow-up, and exceptional customer service are pure perfection. Shawn takes all the stress out of travel planning — everything is seamless from start to finish. We had some issues with a VISA issuing service and he jumped in to help get it resolved quickly. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, hardworking, caring, and truly outstanding travel agent!

Here’s a picture from our latest trip (Tauck Great Migration in Africa) that he coordinated for us. Fantastic experience!!!

At the age of 78 I’ve been privileged to be able to travel the world for well over 50 years. I honestly don’t remember how I discovered Shawn a few years ago, but am very glad I did. I’ve worked with travel agents from the time you went to their office and sat at their desk looking at brochures. No one, in all that time, has been as helpful and communicative as Shawn. I’m getting spoiled by his instant reply to phone calls or emails and his in depth knowledge of every trip we plan. My wife and I love to cruise but when I discussed Japan with Shawn he suggested that I may want to instead consider Tauck’s “Essence of Japan” tour. No pressure – just a suggestion. It was incredible. As a first time Tauck traveler I was very impressed by not only the itinerary but how professional and organized they were. We met several couples who have taken as many as 25 or 30 Tauck tours and went on and on about how they were all fantastic. From now on, Shawn is the only travel agent we’ll use and, when it comes to land tours (and maybe cruises too), Tauck is our tour company. Thank you Shawn for your assistance, suggestions and consummate professionalism.

Frequently Asked Questions

Don’t think of this up-front “Cruise Discovery Session” fee as something you’re paying extra for on top of your cruise — think of it as a one-time membership fee to be able to book your cruise and future cruises with one of the most experienced cruise consultants in the world.

If you looked up a comparable lawyer, doctor, or professional with the same level of industry knowledge and expertise that I offer, $297 wouldn’t sound very expensive at all, especially for a one-time fee.

I have many clients who have booked 20 – 30+ cruises with me, so if you spread out the cost over time, it’s virtually the cost of a specialty coffee. Even if you never book a cruise with me again, it’ll still be worth it purely based on the insider information you take away to guide any bookings that you decide to place on your own.

Plus, you’ll receive a booking bonus worth at least $300 on your first cruise and a booking bonus on every cruise after that, which basically offsets the entire fee.

Aside from making your Cruise Discovery Session virtually free, my guaranteed booking bonus provides you with a minimum of $300 in extra value on your very first booking in the form of a discount or onboard credit or free gratuities or a free hotel night or a rebate check or a gift card, etc. Each cruise line’s rules determine what I’ll be able to do for you. The bonuses don’t stop there either — you’ll receive an exclusive booking bonus on every single cruise you book with me after that as well.

After the initial $297 Cruise Discovery Session fee (which is for your call, not per person, so having your spouse/anyone else on the call with you is no problem!) there are absolutely no other fees for cancellations, maintenance, or anything else. If you’ve ever booked with a discount agency that’s charged you for every single small request or adjustment, you know just how valuable it is to have a one-time, lifetime fee.

To be clear, that doesn’t mean I’ll be able to waive any fees that the cruise line may charge you for cancelling or changing your booking, but I’ll never add any fees on top of what the cruise lines charge.

That’s correct! The one-time charge covers your initial session and all future sessions.

I’ve been all around the world (currently 70 countries) taking cruises (currently 77 + 4 Tauck Land Tours) and capturing detailed information about each one through reviews, pictures and videos.

That lets me answer even the toughest questions from other experienced cruise enthusiasts, and it’s an approach that’s allowed me to book cruises for thousands & thousands of clients — over $50 million dollars worth in just 16 years, which is almost unheard of (extremely rare) in the industry for a single cruise consultant.

But it isn’t just my sales numbers that vouch for me, there are plenty of industry experts who do too, and they’ve awarded me – multiple times – with the coveted American Express Pacesetter Award, the Chairman’s Club Award, and the North America’s Top 25 Travel Agents Award, just to name a few.

I always believe that the strongest proof is in my referral and repeat client numbers though. Over 90% of the people I work with either return to book another cruise or refer someone to book a cruise with me — two clear signs that they had a great experience.

Absolutely! No matter where I am in the world, I make sure to maintain the same level of prompt and responsive communication that my clients expect. In fact, in the testimonies they send me (seen above) many of them mention how they can’t believe how fast I reply to them, even when I’m on my own vacations! 😉
