Leif Rydfors
Zanza Travel Concierge
Leif and Yuliya Rydfors are one of the greatest dynamic duos to sail the seven seas! Leif speaks six languages fluently and has lived in four continents during his life. He has worked both as a Cruise Director and Art Director on over 4 major cruise lines and 20 cruise ships in the past 8 years. Additionally Yuliya is fluent in Russian and has worked in casino management on several ships. We both have extensive travel experience in the Caribbean, South America, Alaska, Baltic, Africa, Europe, Hawaii, Black Sea, and the Mediterranean. We met and became a couple while crewmembers onboard the M/S Norwegian Jewel in 2006.
We have since been married and have a great understanding of a family cruise vacation. We also live in Miami, which is the largest cruise hub in the world! Given our open schedule we are always available to help, and can give you not only first hand knowledge of the cruise ships and itineraries, but also of the culture, sights, and geography of each country. We have been to over 120 countries around the world and have first hand knowledge of interesting sights, tours and culture. Leif received his degree in cross-cultural psychology from Georgetown University which awarded him a great understanding of world cultures and the ability to guide you through the best vacation experience ever!
