She’s also adept at arranging private shore excursions, as well as pre- and post-sail adventures. Upon a client's arrival at the port of Aqaba in Jordan, Ramsey had a private car and driver waiting to take them to Petra—and she secured a guide who has led former U.S. presidents on similar outings. The reason Ramsey excels at shore excursions is because she often embarks on them herself — as a paying client. "I have sailed with major luxury companies —like Abercrombie & Kent Polar and Luxury Expedition Cruises, National Geographic Cruises, and Lindblad Expeditions—multiple times as a passenger rather than as an agent on a familiarization trip. I feel this sets me apart from other advisors as I experience each cruise as a client," she shares. "I also always take private shore excursions, again as a paying client." In addition to cruises, Ramsey specializes in safaris to Africa (she herself has been on safari 24 times.)
