River Cruise, Escorted Tour & All-Inclusive Travel

I became a travel advisor because of my own love for travel and the joy that comes from sharing that passion with others. I specialize in serving luxury and retired clients, offering them tailor-made travel experiences that suit their preferences and pace. My expertise in river cruises, particularly with AmaWaterways and Avalon Waterways, stems not only from professional training but also from personal travel experiences. What sets river cruises apart for me is their inherent flexibility; clients can choose between active exploration and relaxed leisure without the hassle of constantly packing and unpacking. This personal touch, along with my strong relationships with reputable suppliers like AmaWaterways and Globus, positions me as a unique travel professional. I aim to provide dependable, custom experiences that fulfill each client's individual needs.

    Alaskan Cruise Tour
    Melissa.Blankenship has been wonderful to work with. When we were forced to cancel a trip, she helped us through that process and then made sure we were able to rebook at a later date. We would definitely recommend her to others for their travel needs.
