Bio 

Jazzmine Douse is a proud big sister, dance floor lover and softball enthusiast with a heart for helping others. She started her AmaWaterways journey over a decade ago, and along the way, had the chance to connect with amazing travel partners while growing tremendously both personally and professionally.

One of her proudest moments was launching the Soulful Experience cruises in 2023 with AmaWaterways, bringing more diversity and representation into the luxury travel space. Fun, energetic, and spiritually grounded, Douse is passionate about making a difference in the travel industry and lifting others up. Douse will turn 35 in October.

“Being named a finalist for the Travel Industry’s 40 Under 40 is an honor that reflects a journey built on faith, passion, persistence, and a love for creating unforgettable travel experiences," Douse said. "For me, it’s about more than recognition—it’s a testament to the impact we make when we dare to ignite change, open doors for others, and create spaces where everyone feels seen, valued, and celebrated. Here’s to blazing trails today so that others can soar even higher tomorrow.”

Industry Reference

Her rapid learning and dedication were evident from the start," said Rudi Schreiner, AmaWaterways Co-Founder and President.
