Where is Naples Luxury Cruises based?

Naples Luxury Cruises is the suite-cruise practice of Kathryn Lyn, a travel advisor who lives in Fort Myers and lived in Naples for several years. She works with clients across Naples, Bonita Springs, Estero, Fort Myers, Cape Coral and Marco Island by phone, email and in person.

Which cruise ports does Kathryn book from?

Miami, Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Port Canaveral and Tampa. All four are a drive from Naples. She also books fly-cruises for lines that do not sail from Florida, such as Cunard.

Which suite programmes has Kathryn stayed in herself?

MSC Yacht Club and Norwegian's Haven. She has sailed eight cruise lines in total: Cunard, Celebrity, MSC, Norwegian, Royal Caribbean, Virgin Voyages, Carnival and Princess. Each page on this site says whether she has stayed in, booked, or only researched the suite it describes.

Does it cost more to book a suite through Kathryn?

No. The cruise line pays her from the same fare you would pay on its website. She does not charge a planning fee for cruise bookings.

Can Kathryn book luxury lines she has not sailed?

Yes. She books Regent, Seabourn, Silversea, Oceania and Explora Journeys. She studies their deck plans and fares, and she says plainly on each page that she has not sailed them yet.

Four ports, all a drive away

Miami, Port Everglades, Port Canaveral and Tampa. She has done every one of those drives from Fort Myers and Naples and tells you when to leave.

Ten suite programmes

Ship-within-a-ship areas like the Yacht Club and the Haven, and all-suite lines like Regent and Silversea. One page each, with what is included and who it is not for.

Honest about what she knows

Every suite page says whether Kathryn has stayed in it, books it, or has only studied it. She has not sailed Regent or Seabourn yet. The pages say so.
