I’ve been matching travelers with the right ships since 2011 — years of sailings, ship visits, and kept notes, now a Virtuoso practice in partnership with Luxury Cruise Connections. My name is Jordan Yates, and it’s on every quote that leaves this desk.
Most of what I do isn’t booking travel — it’s editing it. Any search engine can surface a hundred sailings; the work is knowing which three deserve your attention, and why.
When we plan together, you’ll get honest counsel on ships, seasons, and itineraries — including which celebrated ones to skip, and when a smaller ship or a shoulder-season date buys you more than any upgrade. And because every fare I quote is one I’ve negotiated, my clients never pay retail. My advice is candid, my services are complimentary, and every recommendation is one I’d be glad to defend over dinner.
Working together is simple: write or call with where you’re leaning, and I’ll come back with a short list worth your time. When one feels right, I take care of everything until you’re home again.

Vienna, Austria
6 ports of call
The Danube 6–13 Sep 2026

4 ports of call
Mediterranean 3–10 Oct 2026
“Mediterranean Jewels” · Oceania Allura, Oceania Cruises
7 nights · Veranda Stateroom · approx. 27 m²

Istanbul, Turkey
Athens, Greece
5 ports of call
Greece & Turkey 15–25 Aug 2026
“Iconic Greece & Turkey” · Seven Seas Voyager, Regent Seven Seas

“The difference between a good trip and a memorable one usually comes down to time — time in port, time at dinner, time to actually enjoy where you are.”
