I’m Shawn Power. With My Consultations, You’ll Get The Unforgettable Cruise You Want Without Wasting Hours Trying To Find It.
No more endless browsing to find the right cruise deal
No more stressing over conflicting online information
No more chatting with support agents who just read scripts
No more worries about spending time and money on bad experiences
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.
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.
It’s based on dozens of sailings, interviews with captains, crews, and passengers, plus extensive onboard documentation.

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.

$300 Welcome Bonus • Exclusive Perks On Every Cruise
Imagine a cruise with cramped staterooms, long line ups, drunk guests, kids running around everywhere, and crew who look like they’d rather be anywhere else.
Now imagine having committed tens of thousands of dollars and weeks of precious holiday time to that experience.

$300 Welcome Bonus • Exclusive Perks On Every Cruise
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! 😉
