Meet Your Cruise Leaders

Meet Bridget and Laura — your adventure-loving Co-Captains at Cruise Buddies!

Their story kicked off in 2020, leading camps for neurodivergent young people and their families, and quickly discovered they shared two things: a passion for making the world more inclusive and serious wanderlust. With a combined 30+ countries conquered, they’re basically pros at chasing sunsets and collecting epic stories.

In 2024, they embarked on their longest journey yet— a legendary three-week voyage from Honolulu to Sydney. Somewhere between soaking up amazing ocean views, silent discos, and hosting game-shows, Cruise Buddies was born. Bridget, a travel industry pro with over seven years of insider knowledge, can plan and navigate itineraries like a boss, while Laura’s impressive 20+ years in social work makes her a champion of inclusive, people-first experiences.

Both Bridget and Laura hold degrees in Human Services, as well as an unwavering desire to serve the neurodivergent community. Now, they’re on a mission to turn travel dreams into reality — making every trip as accessible, stress-free, and ridiculously fun as possible. Whether you're a first-time cruiser or a seasoned explorer, Bridget and Laura are ready to help you set sail on the adventure of a lifetime.

Because life’s too short for boring. Let’s cruise! 🚢
