European River Cruise and Escorted Tours Specialis

I became a travel advisor after years of personal travel experience; people would often seek my advice for their own trips. Specializing in clients between 50 and 80 years old, my focus is on turning their travel aspirations into tangible experiences. I particularly enjoy planning European river cruises, a niche I've personally explored on seven different occasions. The intimate nature of river cruising appeals to me – you dock in a new city every day, can participate in group excursions, or explore on your own. Among the suppliers I work with, Avalon Waterways and Uniworld are my go-to choices for river cruising, while Globus is my preference for global escorted tours. What sets me apart as a travel advisor is my low-pressure approach. I offer personalized, informed advice based on both personal experience and thorough research. Whether you have simple questions or complex concerns, I provide the insights you need for a well-planned and fulfilling journey.

Holiday Market Cruise Vacation
My favorite vacation since becoming a travel advisor was a holiday market cruise from Frankfurt to Basel. I traveled with my sister, marking her first journey to Europe. We especially enjoyed two days at Frankfurt's Christmas Markets—a welcome change from merely passing through the city en route to the airport. Strasbourg, my favorite French cit...

    Even planning our travel experience is fun!
    Reviewed By Mark D. - Blairsville, Ga. | Traveled to Switzerland ~ Europe
    I absolutely love working on our travel arrangements with Christine Strickland! Her experience and attentiveness makes planning our itineraries almost as much fun as the travel itself. I come up with a destination or experience we would like to try with a few dates when we would like to travel and Super Agent Christine Strickland is "on it!" Within a short time she is back to me with sample itineraries, including her experience with the area in question, sample airline schedules and prices, hotel recommendations and even interactive lists of fun things to do and where to eat in the area! She makes us feel as though we are her only clients!
    Christine Strickland responded
    "Thanks Mark!"
    I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
