Your Agent for Europe, River Cruising & Alaska

 

 

Welcome to It's a Snap Vacations

Since 2008, I have taken great pride in providing my clients with expert travel advice, personalized insights, and seamless planning for unforgettable journeys. At It's a Snap Vacations, my mission is to turn your travel dreams into reality with care, creativity, and unmatched attention to detail.

Experience the Magic of European River Cruising

Imagine gliding down a tranquil river, your ship offering front-row views of Europe’s most enchanting cities. From the comfort of your stateroom, you’ll witness magnificent landmarks drift by. Once docked, you’ll step directly into the heart of history, soaking up the sights, sounds, and vibrant life of each destination. These moments are truly priceless!

A European river cruise offers the best of both worlds:

  • Convenience: Unpack just once and settle in for the journey.
  • Luxury: Enjoy professional service, gourmet cuisine, and elegant accommodations.
  • Flexibility: Explore each port at your own pace. Whether you crave a leisurely lunch at a sidewalk café, a guided tour through centuries-old streets, or a hike to a hilltop castle, the choice is always yours

Why Travel With Me?

River Cruise Expertise: I am a seasoned river cruise specialist with firsthand experience and insider knowledge to match you with the perfect itinerary.

Free Independent Travel (FIT) Specialist: For those who prefer to explore on their own, I excel at crafting custom European adventures—by rail, car, or a blend of both.

Certified Travel Agent: With over a decade of professional experience and journeys to 22+ countries, I bring both passion and practical know-how to every trip I plan.

Educational Approach: As a former elementary school teacher, I love introducing travelers to the rich history and culture of each destination, making every trip both fun and enlightening.

More Than Just Cruises:

River cruising is just one way to experience Europe. I also arrange:

Rail Travel: Seamless train journeys across the continent. Freedom to explore at your own pace.

Land Stays: From major hotel chains to charming local inns. 

Let’s Plan Your Next Adventure!

Whether you’re dreaming of a river cruise, a custom European itinerary, or a unique travel experience anywhere in the world, I’m here to make it happen—effortlessly and memorably. Contact me today and let’s start planning your next great escape!

 

 

 

I also book travel to Hawaii and Alaska, both land tours and cruises. I have organized multi-generational Caribbean cruises and Disney Cruises, as well. Disney's Aulani in Hawaii offers the perfect experience for a wide range of ages.

There's more to the perfect trip than just finding the lowest price. Understanding the many components of your vacation and taking the time to learn the why behind your wants and your needs allows me to guide your choices. Putting all the pieces together to create your adventure is my passion.

When creating a custom vacation itinerary for you, one of my goals is to provide you with a personal connection and professional guidance that is lacking in the world of Internet booking. I look forward to creating the vacation of a lifetime for you.

Over the years, I have created wonderful vacation memories for honeymooners, families with children, multi-generational groups, empty-nesters, and retired couples.

Regardless of age or group size, the common threads my clients and I share are open minds and hearts to the spirit of surprise and adventure that makes a vacation truly a wonderful lasting memory.
