Travel made simple, personalized for you
Whether you’re dreaming of a cruise, a road trip, or a custom itinerary, I’ll handle the details so you can focus on enjoying the journey. As a certified travel advisor, I specialize in cruise planning and adults-focused travel — but my support extends well beyond the ship.
Cruise Planning
I’ll help you find the perfect Virgin Voyages’ adults-only adventures. Whether it’s your first cruise or your fifth, I’ll guide you through itineraries, cabin options, and insider perks to make your experience seamless.
Custom Itineraries
Want to extend your trip beyond the cruise? I’ll help you plan pre- and post-cruise stays, boutique hotels, guided tours, train trips and local experiences that turn your vacation into a full journey. Perfect for couples, friends, or solo travelers looking to maximize every day.
Road Trips & Getaways
Sometimes the best adventures are closer to home. I can map out weekend escapes and multi-state drives, pairing scenic routes with handpicked accommodations and experiences tailored to you.
Groups & Special Occasions
Whether it’s a birthday at sea, a reunion, or a group getaway, I’ll coordinate the details so your crew has a stress-free, memorable trip — without you being the planner-in-chief.

DIY Virgin Voyages Cruise Booking
Prefer to book yourself? Use this link to book your Virgin Voyages cruise and you’ll be eligible for TheCruiseWitch.com exclusive perks like Anytime Boarding and Sailor Loot, as well as support — if you run into trouble at any point, contact us and we can help!
⚠️Do not book using my link IF your browser cookies are disabled, you have ad blockers, use a VPN, or other restricted browsing — the self-book link may not work. Contact me to book instead.
How does DIY cruise booking work?
- Navigate to the Virgin Voyages website using this link.
- You will see a bar across the top that says “Sold and Serviced by Callie Milen”
- After you book, send us a note so we verify the information, ask you some additional questions, and start servicing the booking for you.
- We will review the details of your reservation, applicable perks, cabin selection, etc.
🛳️I will ALWAYS contact you if you book using my link. If you do not hear from me, it means your booking did not go through as intended so please get in touch so we can fix it. Some First Mates use their links in deceptive ways to make an easy commission — I am not one of them. If you book through my link, you are my client and have access to my services.
Here are some of the things we can help with when you self book through this link:
- Check if additional discounts can be applied.
- Cabin reassignment — Virgin Voyages will automatically assign your cabin, but we can make sure you have a good one! (note: Lock-it-In rates do not allow cabin selection).
- Link two or more cabins together so you get the benefits of traveling as a group (like booking dining, shows, and activities together).
- Book special add-on packages like A Splash of Romance and Splash Your Bash.
- Add any special requests, allergies, or medical notes to your reservation.
- Keep you informed of important dates like payment and dining reservations.
- Answer your pre-boarding questions via email.
Oh, no! I already booked on my own… Can I still get TheCruiseWitch.com support and perks?
Don’t worry! Depending on how long ago you booked, we might still be able to help! Contact us.
