Cruising - whether an Expedition cruise or a River cruise - is what I know best and what I want to share with you. To say that I've had a profound interest in the great explorers of our world is truly an understatement! Sir Ernest Shackleton captured my interest when I was just 12 years old... and the rest is history! When - as an experienced travel advisor - I was offered the opportunity to see and experience Antarctica, I braved the Drake Passage on a wonderful exploration boat with a science lab and amazing lecturers.
I'm eager to share these truly out-of- this-world experiences with you: The history, the geological significance of this continent, and of course...the wildlife, animals, glaciers and ice - all captivating! And not only the beauty, history, intricacies of Antarctica will I share with you... I have the same passion for The Galapagos Islands, literally following in Darwin's "footsteps", playing with sea lions, and swimming with thousands of fish. And, there's more - much more... Let's consider exploring Africa by sea, traversing Greenland, Iceland and following Rasmussen or Amundson.
Next? Let's discuss River cruising. What I can and will share with you - once we decide on a destination - is a full discussion of the different type of river ships offered, the history of each destination, and sharing with you my expertise and personal experience in arranging all the activities, excursions, and opportunities each itinerary will offer. Let's talk soon. The world awaits. Whether you're eager to see and experience the world via an Expedition cruise, or enjoy out-of-the-world experiences on a deluxe River Cruise. I will get you "there"!
