What I enjoy most about River Cruising is the opportunity to bring groups of family, friends, clients, and friends of friends on board to experience and enjoy a river cruise. When we talk, and discuss what entices your interest in a river cruise, I'll share with you that my most compelling reasons for river cruising include the opportunity and experience to "get close" in to the little towns and villages and just how all-inclusive and intimate a river cruise really is.
I've been on 81 cruises in all, and I am sincerely passionate about this type of cruising. When we work together, I'll also suggest we include a pre- or post-cruise itinerary that will compliment your chosen itinerary and give you the opportunity to experience and enjoy even more about the destination.
After 20+ years in the travel industry, I've had the incredible privilege to experience and enjoy many countries and different itineraries while conducting site tours and familiarization tours so that I could better share these destinations with you - my valued client. On a river cruise, you're almost certain to find much more entertainment off the ship. Also, don't expect large theaters and casinos to entertain you on board.
Unlike large ocean cruises where it's all about the ship, on a river cruise, look forward to enjoying each historic town's local food and culture as you experience interesting and historic destinations when you're ashore.
I look forward to recommending an elegant river cruise through Europe or a gritty river adventure in Egypt or Southeast Asia, and then check in with my clients upon their return to hear what a "seamless, wonderful, intimate experience they had, and how I was right to advise them that a river cruise was night-and-day-different from an ocean cruise." No lines, no nickel and diming, no long bus rides to get into cities. It's just so easy and relaxing! My biggest joy is to send my clients on these unique vacations and realize that I've played a part in creating their life-time memories. I'm humbled that I am able to do what I love, and to have the enviable opportunity to share the beauty of intimate river travel with so many.
