Who We Are
Jesse Taylor
Cruise Specialist & Travel Designer
My family always traveled, and that desire to travel and explore has always stuck with me. During my college tenure, I was fortunate to start a job with a major cruise line in South Florida over 25-years ago. My passion for travel exploded, and I never looked back.
After learning the cruise side of the industry working with some of the best mentors at the largest cruise company in the world, I decided I wanted to venture out and focus on more than just one company working as travel advisor. I was given this opportunity to join a very large cruise-focused agency as an American Express Travel Services Representative for over 8-years catering to Platinum and Centurion customers as a top performing advisor.
After my tenure as an American Express Travel Services Representative, we were invited to the Virtuoso network where I worked as a top advisor, and also managed a Virtuoso branch agency with a large sales team and staff, for over a decade. This experience, along with a high attention to detail, and a true desire to give my clients an unforgettable experience that will stay with them for a lifetime, is what have lead to my success in the industry. I had the honor of making it into the top 1% of Virtuoso Advisors as a Virtuoso Cruise Icon since inception of the program in 2019, and have been named by Conde Nast as a Cruise Specialist for the past 3-years.
I handle all premium and luxury leisure travel. I specialize in river cruises, ocean cruises, expedition cruises, land tours, and building customized trips for single travelers up to large groups. I also handle family travel; we have three boys, and travel frequently, so we understand the logistics with making a family vacation seamless.
My goal is to keep you coming back, and hopefully bragging to your friends and family.
Julie Boulanger Taylor
Cruise Specialist & Travel Designer
My career in the travel industry started with my family traveling through Canada and the United States as a little girl, and the travel bug stayed. Being an enthusiast of traveling, I received a degree in Tourism at the College April-Fortier, which is an important institution in Quebec’s travel industry. From there I decided to work on cruise ships and travel the world. After working on ships traveling to the Caribbean, Alaska, Canada/New England and Europe, I decided to continue in the industry and work as a travel advisor and share the experience of travel to my clients.
With over 20-years of experience as a travel advisor, and many more working onboard with various cruise lines, I specialize in ocean cruises, river cruises, expedition cruises, and land tours. I work with couples to multi-generational groups, and all clients in between, to help build experiences that will last a lifetime.
With my travel experience, I love advising my clients on what to see and do, where to eat, and what to try. I am here to make sure your journey is an adventure from the day you leave your home until the day you come back.
