River Cruise Specialist
"Ocean cruising takes you to the country, river cruising takes you through it."
River cruising has exploded in popularity over the past few years. It enables you to visit the small, charming villages the larger ships cannot take you to. You see a different side of Europe when you cruise the rivers. It is so much more experiential and allows you to immerse yourself in the culture more as a local than a tourist.
River cruises in most cases offer a more inclusive experience. Your meals, beverages and even tours are offered as part of your package. Just like ocean cruising, each river cruise line offers a different experience. Talk to us about finding the right one for you!

Client Testimonials
From newbies to seasoned cruisers in one year
Emma Cakmak has been our go-to travel advisor for many years now. She has planned multiple trips for us, from European tours to Caribbean cruises, as well as anniversary and retirement trips. Emma is adept at getting to know our preferences and, with her help, we have been building a travel "bucket list." When we had to cancel a trip at the last minute for a medical issue, Emma assisted us in providing all the information we needed to properly access our travel insurance. We appreciate her quick response time to inquiries and the way she touches base before and after trips, always valuing our feedback. In one case, she shared our poor experience with a particular tour company, which led to a partial refund and apology from the company. The personal attention we receive from Emma is unparalleled, and we recommend her services without hesitation. Just be careful - our wanderlust and her swift responses and ability to find great deals have led to four trips in less than a year!
