About

I'm Sharmaine, the owner of Sharmaine Event Travel, and I specialize in planning seamless group cruises and all-inclusive resort vacations for travelers who want more than just a trip — they want a thoughtfully curated experience. Whether I’m hosting a milestone birthday cruise, coordinating a friends getaway, or designing a custom vacation for an individual traveler, my focus is always stress-free planning and unforgettable memories.

Types of Travel I Plan

Group Cruises (hosted and private groups)

All-Inclusive Resort Getaways

Milestone Birthday & Celebration Travel

Couples & Friends Escapes

Caribbean & Alaska Cruises

Curated Vacations for Individuals

As a group cruise travel advisor and all-inclusive resort specialist, I manage the details that can quickly become overwhelming — cabin selections, resort categories, payment schedules, excursions, dining reservations, and pre- and post-travel arrangements. I bring structure, communication, and elevated touches that allow my clients to simply enjoy the experience.

I took my first cruise 26 years ago and have been sailing ever since. Over the past 15+ years, I’ve planned group travel experiences — beginning with a 40-person cruise — and have continued to expand my expertise across multiple cruise lines and resort brands. I regularly tour resorts, sail new ships, and explore emerging travel brands so I can offer firsthand insight, not just online reviews.

As an empty-nester balancing a full-time career and a growing travel business, I understand the importance of maximizing time, budget, and experiences. My clients value clear communication, organization, and a planner who anticipates the details before they become problems.

Who I Work With

I work with busy professionals, friend groups, couples, and celebration travelers who want expert guidance and personalized service. As an African American travel advisor I understand the importance of representation and culturally comfortable travel experiences. Many of my clients appreciate working with someone who understands group dynamics, milestone celebrations, and travel spaces where they can fully relax and feel seen — while I proudly welcome travelers from all backgrounds.

How I Work

I begin with a consultation to understand your vision, travel style, guest list (if applicable), and budget. From there, I present curated options and guide you through booking and final planning — ensuring clarity, organization, and confidence from start to sail.

FAQ

Q: Do you only book group travel?

No. While group cruises and all-inclusive resort trips are my specialty, I also design custom vacations for individuals and couples.

Q: Do you host trips?

Yes. I host select cruises and resort getaways while also planning private group and individual experiences for clients traveling with their own circle.

When I’m not planning travel, you’ll find me at a live concert, learning the newest line dance, spending time with friends and family, or researching the next cruise line or resort to bring fresh insight to my clients.
