Yvette Bates MCC, VTA, CTA

Owner & Travel Advisor


I have loved to travel my entire life! When my parents decided they wanted to take the family on a cruise for their 50th anniversary, I jumped at the chance to put my love for travel to work! That was 12 years ago! 


Since then, I have been to 35 countries on all of the top cruise lines, and I love them all!


Cruising is a great way to see the world and to enjoy the resort life at the same time. You go to bed and wake up somewhere new everyday. You can get off the ship to explore; and when you return you can enjoy great cuisine, amazing shows, nightlife, or a relaxing massage. If you want, you can just lay by the pool! 

There truly is something for everyone!


So grab the family and friends and explore the possibility of your next cruise vacation.
