River Cruise Expert and Africa Safari Specialist
Traveling is not only my vocation, it’s my passion!
I have visited over 135 countries and have cruised more than 120 times, which gives me great insight when planning for you. My previous career in Public Relations found me planning and escorting customers on truly memorable vacations. Since I loved the arranging of luxury vacations, I became a small ship and river cruise specialist. As well as an African Safari Specialist.
If you have a special interest, such as food, wine, history, art, or architecture, I can custom tailor a trip for you. A theme cruise with destination-based local immersion opportunities are a memorable way to travel or a private land based African trip.
River cruising or Private Tours offer so many distinct advantages such as:
- Clients don't wait in long lines to board, disembark, or dine.
- No need to take a tender from ship to shore, as is often required on large vessels.
- Getting to and from the stateroom is much easier without the labyrinth of hallways or multiple flights of stairs.
- There is the opportunity to explore smaller villages and towns that ocean going liners cannot access.
- The passenger capacity of river cruise vessels is limited to an average of 150 guests, so travelers have a better opportunity to interact with local people and enjoy a more intimate, culturally authentic, and rewarding experience in the ports.
- Small ships are able to dock near the historic center of many European cities, so you can step right off the dock and start exploring without having to find transportation to the heart of the action.
- The limited number of passengers allows for a very high level of personalized service. The ship’s chefs are able to cater to dietary requirements and can offer regional specialties made with locally sourced meat, fresh fish, dairy, and produce.
- Private small tours to Africa so you can enjoy food, wine or up close adventures with wildlife.
Whether you dream of a luxury river cruise or a European vacation or a dream vacation to Africa, come discover the world with me! You can join one of my select tour groups or cruises, or I can design one specifically to match your interests and desires.
