Luxury Cruises & Multigenerational Travel

I enjoy luxury cruises and enjoy planning luxury cruises and multi-generational travel for my clients and have multiple experiences with both - sometimes combining them for a multi-generational luxury cruise. I have also booked luxury land tours with Tauck and Abercrombie & Kent, and I am a certified Tauck Specialist. Alaska, Australia, Canada, Denmark, Hawaii and Italy have all certified me as a Specialist. The Travel Institute has recognized me as a Certified Luxury Specialist. I look forward to working with you to book your next travel adventure.

My Travel Stories

Private Wine Tasting at the Secret Wine Door
Wine Tasting in Paris
We had a great wine tasting experience at the Secret Wine Door in Paris.  We had a party of seven and we booked it just for our group. Erwan Leo, the owner, selected eight French wines to taste, accompanied by a cheese selection for each wine. Erwan did a great job of discussing each wine region and the types of grapes and wines they are ...

Best Travel Planner!
Reviewed By Jackie - Southlake, TX | Traveled to Venice ~ Italy ~ Europe
Doug has handled my travel arrangements on several trips including cruises to Alaska, the Baltic and most recently from Venice to Athens and arranged stays both pre and post cruise at exceptional boutique hotels.

We have traveled to London, Paris, Rome, Tuscany, Florence, the Amalfi Coast, Venice, Athens, Anchorage and Vancouver plus several trips within the continental U.S.

He has arranged stays in Turks and Caicos at a wonderful house with a phenomenal sailboat excursion where we were able to swim with Jojo - a wild dolphin and his mate.

He has pre-arranged dinners at exceptional restaurants throughout Europe in conjunction with our cruises or pre/post cruise travels.

I could not recommend anyone higher than Doug. He made all the travels wonderful and worry free even during Covid.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Hands down, best vacation taken thus far!
Reviewed By Shawn - Grapevine, TX | Traveled to Greece ~ Europe
Working with Doug and leveraging his experiences is no less then amazing. From hotels to restaurants and site seeing tours, everything was five star. Doug is so organized and comprehensive that all we had to do was show up and enjoy. He took the stress of planning off our shoulders and made recommendations and plans as if he himself was taking the trip with his family. That’s what you want in a travel agent, someone who puts themselves in your shoes and plans a trip that he himself would take with his own family. Highly recommend and guaranteed you’ll have the best vacation ever. You won’t be disappointed!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
