Jerzy
Poznar

I'm Jerzy Poznar, founder of Up Close Travel and a Virtuoso Cruise Icon, a distinction held by the top 1% of cruise advisors in the country. Since 2014, my practice has focused on small ship and ultra-luxury cruising, done right.

I'm a preferred partner with Regent Seven Seas, Silversea, Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, Four Seasons Yachts, Orient Express Sailing Yachts, and Aman at Sea — meaning my clients get access and amenities you won't find booking direct. I pair that with specialists on the ground worldwide who handle the details once you're ashore.

I don't sell off-the-shelf itineraries. I build trips around how you actually want to travel, from a quiet week at sea to a complex multi-country journey with private touches throughout. Many clients come back trip after trip, and others find me through the travel content I create on YouTube.

If you're weighing which line or itinerary fits you, that's where I'm most useful.
