About Me

Specializing in River Cruising

As a River Cruise Specialist, I help clients discover the charm, culture, and beauty of Europe and beyond—one scenic river bend at a time. With firsthand knowledge, trusted industry partnerships, and a deep understanding of the unique offerings of each cruise line, I curate unforgettable journeys that combine luxury, ease, and enriching experiences. From the Rhine to the Danube, the Seine to the Douro, I match each traveler with the perfect itinerary, stateroom, and shore experiences tailored to their interests and travel style. Whether you're a first-time cruiser or a seasoned river traveler, I take care of every detail—so all you have to do is relax and enjoy the view.

A-MAZING trip!!
Reviewed By KimK - California | Traveled to China | East and Southeast Asia
Laura had her hands full when I asked her to help plan a trip from CA to Beijing China, Shanghi, Hong Kong, then directly to Sydney Australia , continuing to Savusavu Fiji and return to CA. And on top of it...I didnt give her a lot of time to plan, and I had 6 people involved with varying itineraries. However, Laura was up for the challenge and did an amazing job!! She booked our airfare, including a new one when our Hong Kong flight was cancelled due to a typhoon. She discussed several ideas I had and had great input and recommendations. She also booked various excursions, transports, and train tickets. Truly, I can not say enough great things about Laura and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!! Thank you, thank you!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
