About Polly
Polly is a dedicated travel advisor whose roots in the San Francisco Bay Area and current home in the serene desert southwest of Arizona give her a unique blend of creativity, calm, and perspective. She brings this balance into every trip she designs, offering clients both imaginative itineraries and grounded, reliable support.
A passionate traveller herself, Polly especially loves cruising, with Royal Caribbean as her preferred way to explore the world. Her firsthand experience across destinations and cruise styles allows her to craft journeys that are thoughtfully tailored, memorable, and effortless for her clients.
Polly is also a Certified Autism Travel Professional – a distinction that reflects both her specialised training and her personal commitment to accessible travel. As the mother of a son on the autism spectrum, she approaches every itinerary with empathy, attention to detail, and a deep understanding of sensory-aware planning. She believes every family deserves the confidence and comfort to explore the world together.
Known for being an avid planner, Polly works tirelessly on behalf of her clients. She is the type of advisor who will go to the ends of the earth to ensure every traveller has the best experience possible. Her mission is simple yet powerful: to help her clients create meaningful moments and unforgettable memories that last a lifetime.
Working with Cruise Help has been one of the greatest joys of her professional journey. Supported by Peter and the rest of the team, Polly thrives in an environment that encourages growth, collaboration, and excellence. Their partnership strengthens her ability to deliver exceptional service and elevate every travel experience she designs.
With her blend of professional expertise, lived experience, and genuine passion for travel, Polly delivers thoughtfully curated adventures that inspire joy, connection, and discovery.
