Welcome to Lucky Duck Cruises

Hi, I’m Tami Nicholson, founder of Lucky Duck Cruises! My 10-year-old son Maddox and I cruise monthly and have been exploring the open seas together since he was just 6 months old. Based in sunny Sarasota, Florida, we’ve made it our mission to help other families (and grown-ups!) experience the joy, relaxation, and magic of cruising—without the stress.

At Lucky Duck Cruises, we specialize in matching you with the perfect cruise—whether you’re planning your first family adventure or looking for a kid-free, adults-only escape. From toddler-friendly fun to teen-approved itineraries, romantic getaways, and group celebrations, we’ve got a cruise for every kind of traveler.

We know the ins and outs of cruising with kids, and without. How to find the best deals, and which ships are designed with families—or adults—in mind. Our goal? To make your vacation planning easy, personal, and totally unforgettable.

So whether you’re traveling with your little ducklings or flying solo, let us help you cruise smart, cruise fun, and cruise the lucky duck way!
