About Me

Christmas Market

As a CLIA River Cruise Certified—Travel Leaders Trusted Travel Advisor, I combine my passion for travel and adventure with cruise knowledge and proficiency to create River Cruise experiences that surpass expectations.

My client reviews speak volumes about my competence in Cruise planning. Having researched and received client feedback on many enchanting destinations along Europe's iconic rivers, such as the Danube, Rhine, Seine, and Douro, I offer rich insights and tailored recommendations for each unique itinerary. My knowledge extends beyond the rivers of Europe, offering you invaluable guidance for explorations in the United States.

Drawing from my experiences, I effectively navigate the intricacies of river cruising, from understanding the unique port experiences to selecting the perfect cabin for your needs. Whether it's your first foray into river cruises or you're a seasoned traveler looking for fresh perspectives, I demystify the process, making it enjoyable and stress-free. I love crafting multi-generational journeys that cater to every family member's desires or managing the dynamics and details of group travel using my honed event planning skills from my 17 years in the casino hospitality industry.

My professional credentials underscore my commitment to excellence. I hold a Master Cruise Counselor, River Cruise, and Cruise Group Certification from the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA). I am a Verified Travel Agent certified by the American Society of Travel Advisers (ASTA). These respected certifications highlight my dedication to providing top-notch service and expert guidance.

Attentive preparation is paramount to a seamless travel experience. I will understand your expectations and preferences through discussion and then present the available cruise options. 

I maintain open communication throughout the booking process and ensure you are well-prepared with a personalized travel packet, including a detailed itinerary, maps, addresses, confirmations, luggage tags, and boarding passes. We'll review everything together to ensure a confident and exciting departure, allowing you to focus on what truly matters: making unforgettable memories.

So, let's make your next river adventure a reality. With my knowledge and your enthusiasm, we can create a journey that exceeds your expectations. Let's set sail together!

Family Vacation for 25- And None of the Stress!
Reviewed By Gina N - Castle Rock, CO | Traveled to Cancun ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
We had been talking about a 25 person family vacation for quite some time. When it came time to finally plan the vacation I contacted Kelly to see what she could find. Not only did she listen to everything that we were looking for and find us several options to choose from, she gave advice and made suggestions on things we hadn’t even thought of. Kelly was exceptionally helpful with everyone from the people that needed a lot of help and handholding to those that wanted to do some things on their own and some with the rest of the group in the agency. Cali truly customized everyone’s trip and gave every single person that went an experience that was absolutely more than they had ever imagined. We were able to relax and enjoy ourselves because we knew everything was taken care of. We plan to use Kelly quite a bit more going forward, and anytime we are planning something like this she will definitely be our first call!

Averted Catastrophe
Reviewed By Tammy - Commerce City, CO | Traveled to Mexico ~ Mexico
“Kelly was absolutely amazing in helping us with our horrible airline experience. She went above and beyond when it came to planning our trip. My husband and I would highly recommend her for anyone's travel needs. The cruise was the best part of course. But she helped us with so much more. From getting the hotel for the night before. Where she definitely went above and beyond is our flight got canceled and they were trying to put us on another flight for the next day. We would have missed our cruise. She got us a different flight to another airport that was also close by. Absolutely amazing job at making our first cruise with some hiccups because of the flight go amazingly well. She's the best hands down.”
KELLY IRELAND responded

Client Testimonials

Reliable All Knowing Travel Consultant
Kelly from Aqua Breeze Vacation has been wonderful to work with and I have used her to book four of my vacations (Nassau, Jamaica, St.Lucia and Hawaii). Kelly is great about providing detailed information about the area and even provides videos on must see attractions. When it comes time to take your trip, you can feel confident she hasn't missed anything in your itinerary from the day you leave to the day you have to head back home. She was exceptionally compassionate during the recent COVID pandemic by consistently keeping in touch and rearranging our honeymoon to Hawaii since we had to postpone the wedding/honeymoon. It's nice to know there are companies out there that truly care about their clients. I would not only use Aqua Breeze Vacation again, I would highly recommend Kelly to anyone looking to book a trip.
