About Your Travel Designer
I’m Neyda, founder of Cruise Shorex by Design.
I began my career in the travel industry over 30 years ago, working with an Airline in Mexico and later with a tour operator and travel agencies in Canada.
A large part of my career was spent at sea, where I worked for more than 20 years on board cruise ships in the Shore Excursions Department with luxury and premium cruise lines such as:
Throughout my career, I have developed in-depth knowledge of cruise itineraries, shore excursions, onboard operations, and destination logistics, which allows me to design cruise journeys with a deeper understanding of how the entire cruise experience works both on land and at sea.
I specialize in helping clients select the right cruise line, ship, itinerary, and stateroom, as well as planning private shore excursions, special requests, hotels, transfers, and pre- and post-cruise travel arrangements. Every itinerary is thoughtfully planned to ensure a seamless and personalized travel experience from beginning to end.
My goal is not simply to book a cruise, but to design a complete travel experience that is smooth, well-organized, and tailored to each client.
