As small business owner since 1990 and a Top Producing Cruise Planners Francise Owner, I have had a lifelong passion for my two specialties: River Cruising and Luxury Cruising. First River Cruising: I took my first river cruise in the 1970's on the Mississippi River, and since then I have sailed most rivers on many lines, and have excellent relationships established with my river cruise partners to ensure that your cruise will meet - and exceed - your expectations. I plan yearly river cruise groups that have included Christmas Markets on the Rhine with Uniworld, river cruising in Cambodia and Vietnam, and an AmaWaterways charter for a Paris to Normandy cruise along the Seine.

I'm proud to have been chosen as one of just 25 travel advisors to attend Viking Cruises' Executive Retreat and learn from Viking's top leaders while sailing the Danube. If you are looking for a bit of adventure, I'd love to tell you about a river cruise on the Chobe River, and I will include Rwanda on this itinerary so you can have the breathtaking experience of hiking to see the great apes. If you are interested in wine, I can help you with "Las Vegas for Wine Lovers," while visiting Rüdesheim on the Rhine.

For Luxury, I am a top producer for Regent Seven Seas and Silverseas. I also love yacht-style cruising. And, with so many new yachts coming on the market each year, I try to experience each line to give you my personal opinion. My years of experience have allowed me to connect with travelers over a shared love of travel, genealogy, and history. We'll discuss your definition of "luxury." Do you want butler service? A wide selection of fine wines and liquor, or fine-dining experiences included in your fare? Do you want excursions included so you don't pay out of pocket for any aspects of your voyage? Luxury expedition cruising ensures that you'll get closer to nature without having to sacrifice comfort.

In other words, you can experience and appreciate the far corners of the world with luxurious amenities - both on shore and onboard. For example... We'll hand you a warm hot toddy right after you take the polar plunge! Whether we book for you a private wine tour in St. Tropez, a private yacht excursion in Alaska to view the wildlife, or an early-morning private tour of the Vatican and Sistine Chapel before the general public has access...your luxury cruise can be all this and so much more. Whether we'll be working together to plan an incredible river cruise itinerary, or we'll be embarking on a memorable, world-class luxury cruise...I look forward to making all your arrangements. Let me help you from start to finish to ensure this is your perfect vacation. I love helping make your dreams come true!
