About Me

Cruising into picturesque Bourg-sur-Gironde
Cruising into picturesque Bourg-sur-Gironde

The Danube, Rhine, Mosel and Douru are all famous European rivers easily navigated on a small luxurious river cruise ship. It's an ideal way to see a snapshot of many countries and cities all famous in their own way. Budapest, Vienna, Salzburg, Strasbourg- any season is perfect to view these famous historical places. 

I have been fortunate to travel on many luxury river cruise ships, and can create a perfect itinerary to fit clients' lifestyles and dream destinations. Each cruise line is unique and one size does not fit all. Pre and post cruise options are varied and fascinating and a great way to extend a trip in Europe.

River cruise ships can be unlimited luxury in an unfussy relaxed manner.  You only unpack once, excellent wine and beer are served at lunch and dinner. You can enjoy a wonderful array of included excursions for all levels of fitness. Did I mention Happy Hour every evening on board.

If your interest is castles then Germany along the Rhine is spectacular.  If famous wines are a must then a Bordeaux cruise is the one for you.

The Danube at night is picture perfect with twinkling lights along the river. Buda on one side and Pest on the other with the dramatic Parliament building right alongside. 

Egypt is a wonderful  destination with a cruise down the Nile. Magnificent Pyramids in Cairo, Valley of the Kings in Luxor, with centuries old burial suites of the Pharaohs. The remake of "Death on the Nile movie" has wonderful photography of the Nile.

You can even do back to back cruises on different rivers. One airfare and one suitcase and you are good to go. I can design any river cruise trip with an independent Europe stay to a city or country of your choice. I love to design perfect vacations with every detail taken care of.

Amazing- 2 weeks and 4 cities in Australia!
Reviewed By Bob P - Eastchester, NY | Traveled to Australia & New Zealand
Pauline was great in many ways! She was very responsive to our barrage of questions. We gave her an outline of what we were looking for, and she filled in the details perfectly, even adding another stop that we hadn't though of. She was able to pivot and make a few changes that came up as the months went on between our booking and our trip. And she always made sure we had the latest detailed copy of our two week, four city itinerary. Thank you, Pauline!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
