River Cruise Expert

Seine River - Monet Garden
Seine River - Monet Garden

River cruises are a carefree and luxurious way to explore the world, visit new destinations or return to them and have a more immersive experience. I can’t say enough good things about river cruising, and I really encourage anyone who has an interest in Europe to try a river cruise on the Rhine or Danube as your first river cruise.

There are also many options for cruising rivers in France and Portugal, that it’s worth taking a second, third or many more river cruises to enjoy this wonderful mode of travel! Other parts of the world are also ideal for river cruising: the Yangtze in China, the Amazon in Peru, the Chobe in Botswana, the Po in Italy, the Nile in Egypt, and of course, right here in our own backyard on the Mississippi or through the Pacific Northwest.

To get started, simply contact me with your preferences and time frame.  I look forward to working with you!

    Dan is a pleasure to work with. He has a terrific sense of humor and is never too busy to listen to a cruise experience or to look up some information about your particular travel issues. If you call him with a question, he will respond the same day if he doesn't have the answer immediately. After our recent cruise, he was reviewing our future cruise documents and called to question whether we had booked two cruises back to back with no possibility of making connections. We had not done so, but were grateful that he caught the error before we were asked for payment.
