COLETTE ERICKSON CRUISE TRAVEL ADVISOR
Hi, I’m Colette.
I’m a cruise travel advisor—and someone who genuinely believes that travel should feel exciting from the very first conversation, not overwhelming.
Cruising has become my personal passion. There’s something about being out on the water, waking up in a new place, and having everything you need right there that just feels easy in the best possible way. It’s the kind of travel I love most, and it’s what I focus my entire business on. I think that’s part of why I understand travel so well—it’s not just about going somewhere new, it’s about everything that comes with it.
I specialize in helping people plan cruises that fit them—not just a generic itinerary or the “most popular” option. I work with cruise lines like Princess, Virgin Voyages, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, and Norwegian Cruise Line, but what matters most to me is matching the right ship, vibe, and experience to the right person.
A big part of my work is helping solo travelers feel confident about cruising on their own. I’m a solo cruiser myself, so I understand both the excitement and the hesitation that can come with it. I also specialize in adults-only cruising for people who just want a more relaxed, grown-up atmosphere at sea.
Virgin Voyages is one of my favorites for that exact reason—modern ships, incredible dining, and an energy that feels fresh and effortless. But I never believe there’s a “one size fits all” cruise, and I don’t treat it that way for my clients either.
What I care most about is making sure you feel supported from start to finish. That means helping you understand your options, talking through the details that actually matter, and being here when questions come up. Travel planning shouldn’t feel confusing or rushed—it should feel like you have someone in your corner.
Outside of cruising, I’m just a regular person who loves the ocean, quiet moments, and time with my dog. Honestly, leaving my dog is the hardest part of any trip.
I’m also deeply passionate about kindness toward animals. That’s something that’s always been important to me and naturally shapes how I move through the world.
If you’re here, you’re probably thinking about your next cruise—or maybe you’re just not sure where to start. Either way, I’m glad you found me. When you’re ready, I’m here to help you figure it out in a way that feels simple, honest, and tailored to you.
Your dream cruise is waiting, and I’m here to make it happen. Contact me today, and let’s start planning your next adventure on the seas.
