Suzanne Moore
Luxury Cruise Consultant
With a distinguished career in financial services, I bring a wealth of analytical expertise and strategic insight to my role as a luxury cruise travel advisor. My journey began as an economic analyst, where I developed a keen ability to assess both economic and social trends. Over time, I ascended to the role of Executive Vice President at a leading consulting firm, further honing my expertise in high-level strategy and client service. My tenure as Vice President and Group Manager in the Government Bond division at JPMorgan solidified my reputation for excellence, precision, and forward-thinking leadership.
Recognized as Travel + Leisure’s Rising Star Advisor in 2024 and named one of 13 Signature Expert Select Travel Advisors in the Cruise category, I have successfully transitioned into a career that merges my financial acumen with my lifelong passion for travel. In the luxury cruise industry, I offer a consultative approach that goes beyond transactions—I focus on building meaningful, long-term relationships with my clients, ensuring that each journey is meticulously crafted to their unique preferences and aspirations.
As both a solo traveler and an advocate for accessible travel, I bring a deeply personal touch to my work. Spending approximately 70 days a year at sea, I immerse myself in the very experiences I curate—attending cooking classes, mixology sessions, excursions, educational lectures, trivia, and bingo. My firsthand knowledge of SilverSea, Oceania, Regent, Explora Journeys, Crystal Cruises, and Amadeus river cruises, amongst others, allows me to offer exclusive insights and tailored recommendations. While I have a deep expertise in luxury cruising, my passion for travel extends beyond the sea to include thoughtfully designed land-based itineraries. Whether it's an immersive cultural experience, a private guided tour, or a bespoke multi-destination journey, I ensure that every itinerary—on land or at sea—is seamless, enriching, and tailored to my clients' desires.
Beyond my professional endeavors, I actively share my insights and experiences on social media platforms like Facebook and LinkedIn, fostering a vibrant community of travel enthusiasts. My goal is to inspire and connect, offering authentic, engaging content that highlights the luxury, accessibility, and unique offerings of the world’s most prestigious cruise lines and curated land-based journeys.
