I am a luxury travel advisor affiliated with Travel Leaders Network specializing in luxury cruises, European river cruises, small-ship cruises, Alaska cruises, African Safaris, and curated travel experiences throughout Europe and around the world. I have even been called "the Viking Queen" by Viking Cruises.

My priority is listening to my clients and helping navigate all the choices that exist with different cruise lines, cabin choices, itineraries, flights, excursions, tours, resorts and all the details of travel. There are so many choices online but with my firsthand experience and vast knowledge of travel suppliers, I can guide you to the best option for your preferences.

My goal is to make travel planning seamless and enjoyable while helping my clients choose the right destinations, ships, tours, and experiences for their style of travel. One of my primary specialties is European and US river cruising. River cruises offer one of the most relaxing and immersive ways to explore Europe because travelers unpack once while sailing through historic cities, vineyards, castles, and charming villages.

I frequently help travelers plan river cruises with Viking Cruises and AmaWaterways along the Rhine River and Danube River, Throughout France on the Siene and Rhone rivers, through Eastern Europe, Columbia Rivers, Africa Safari Rivers and the most popular Egypt Nile river cruising, visiting destinations like Germany, Austria, France, and Hungary. European Christmas Market river cruises are especially magical, allowing travelers to experience festive holiday markets throughout Germany France and Austria.

In addition to river cruising, I specialize in Viking Ocean Cruises, which offer elegant small-ship sailings focused on culture, history, and destination-rich itineraries. Viking Ocean voyages visit incredible destinations throughout Portugal, Spain, Italy, France, and Northern Europe, as well as the Mediterranean and beyond.

For travelers seeking a truly all-inclusive luxury experience, I also work with Regent Seven Seas Cruises. Regent is known for spacious suites, gourmet dining, exceptional service, and immersive itineraries throughout Europe and around the world.

I love putting together independent trips with hotels, trains and sightseeing in Europe.

For travelers who prefer to explore closer to home, I assist clients in planning cruises with American Cruise Lines, which offers small-ship cruises throughout the United States including historic Mississippi River sailings and scenic journeys along the Columbia and Snake Rivers, Ohio, Tennessee and Florida Rivers as well as the Great Lakes!

Another destination I know particularly well is Alaska. I have personally sailed Alaska cruises and visited ports including Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Wrangell, Haines, and Victoria. Alaska offers extraordinary scenery with glaciers, wildlife, and dramatic coastal landscapes. I enjoy helping travelers choose the best Alaska cruise itineraries and excursions such as whale watching, bear viewing, and scenic exploration of historic gold-rush towns.

I also specialize in luxury escorted tours and guided travel experiences throughout Europe including Italy, Prague, Budapest, Spain & Portugal, USA, and around the world. I work with highly respected tour companies such as Tauck, Insight Vacations, Luxury Gold, and Abercrombie and Kent. These premium guided tours offer small groups, expert tour directors, exceptional hotels, and immersive cultural experiences. I recommend tour companies and experiences based on personal preferences.

My role goes far beyond simply booking a trip. I assist with choosing the right cruise or itinerary, selecting cabins, coordinating flights, arranging pre- and post-cruise hotels and transfers, recommending excursions, and helping travelers understand travel insurance options.

I remain available before, during, and after travel so my clients always have a knowledgeable advisor they can rely on.

Many travelers don’t realize that even if they have already booked a cruise directly with a cruise line such as Viking Cruises, their reservation can often be transferred to a travel advisor within a certain time after booking. When a reservation is transferred to me, I can review the booking, assist with cabin selection, help coordinate flights, recommend excursions, and guide travelers through planning tools such as My Viking Journey to ensure every detail of the trip is arranged smoothly.

Whether you are dreaming of a Viking River Cruise along the Rhine or Danube, a Viking Ocean cruise through the Mediterranean, a Regent Seven Seas luxury voyage, an Oceania small-ship cruise, an American river cruise, an Alaska adventure, or an unforgettable African safari, I would be delighted to help you plan a journey filled with remarkable experiences.
