River Cruise Specialist

Having been in the travel industry for over 15 years, I have extensive knowledge in planning incredible and memorable vacations by land, river, ocean and rail.

RAIL TRIPS  My dad was the railroad station agent in my hometown, so train trips hold a special place in my memories and heart. Nostalgic, scenic, laid back & relaxing - a train trip will provide the unique experience you seek. I have planned trips by rail in Europe, Asia, the US, and Canada for years and would love to help plan yours too! 

EUROPE  A favorite destination, I have enjoyed getting off the beaten path in France, Belgium, Luxembourg, England, Greece, Scotland, Italy, Spain and Malta. I have hunted mushrooms in the Ardennes forest, sipped beer at Waterloo and historic monasteries, followed in the footsteps of “The Godfather” (Sicily) and of the Knights of Malta, enjoyed wineries, cheese and local specialties in many of Europe's regions, explored Europe’s only desert (Spain) and visited WWI and WWII battlefields, monuments and museums. I have visited towns where some of my ancestors lived and love to assist with European Heritage and genealogy travel. Whatever your interest, I am skilled in helping design your very own European experience with special, personalized moments. 

CANADA  Niagara Falls to the Canadian Rockies, Canada offers diverse natural and cultural beauty within easy reach. Sail the beautiful St. Lawrence River and Gulf, visit scenic Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia, explore fascinating cities like Montreal, Quebec City and Toronto, channel your inner cowboy at the Calgary Stampede, sip wine on Vancouver Island or spot whales off the coast in British Columbia. Or consider seeing both coasts, with a relaxing train trip in between. Whether you prefer spectacular cities or the great outdoors - or a mixture of both - Canada is calling…..eh! And I can assist with planning your perfect Canadian vacation. 

RIVER CRUISES - OCEAN CRUISES  So many cruise lines and itineraries make the decision process complicated. With decisions to be made regarding cruise line, ships, itineraries, cabin categories, dining times, excursions and more, it's important to have an advisor to help navigate it all. I’ve personally experienced a variety of cruises firsthand, have assisted a wide variety of cruise clients, and have been specially trained by the major cruise lines - all to provide you with the knowledge and expertise to match you with the cruise that will assure you the best possible cruise vacation.

ALASKA  The “Last Frontier” with breathtaking vistas, unspoiled wilderness, unforgettable scenery, magnificent wildlife, grand glaciers, charming towns, the northern lights, Inside Passage, Kenai Peninsula, the Yukon, and Denali National Park…...Alaska is BIG. Making sure you experience the places, history and culture meaningful to you takes lots of planning and expertise. I’m ready to plan your vacation, so you can experience the wonder of Alaska and make amazing lifelong memories.    

USA From sea to shining sea, I have visited and assisted clients with family trips, honeymoons and friends getaways to most popular US destinations including New York, Boston, Chicago, the Florida Keys, Los Angeles area, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Miami, Philadelphia and many National Parks and Monuments. I have also lived in popular Charleston, SC and East TN in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains providing valuable insider info. I look forward to helping you discover your homeland!
