About Me

Avalon River Cruise
Avalon River Cruise

It is a wonderful way to see so very much in a week.  Unpack and enjoy the river cruise.  Many different rivers to spend time on.  I especially enjoy the Danube River and looking forward to Douro River (on my bucket list for 2025).  You walk on the ship and have nothing to worry about.  The staff is very attentive.  The meals are delicious and the daily port stops take only 15 minutes to dock.  You are off the boat exploring right away.  The excursions are included on Avalon.  We have been on a couple of the Active and Discovery type of cruises and they offer biking or hiking at each destinations.  Only 166 passengers are on the ship and it never feels crowded.  Once your cruise....you will want to plan another trip!  I have so many wonderful options for clients and can answer questions having spent time on board.  The Christmas Market cruises would be a nice way to try a cruise...they are typically shorter 5 days or so.

River Crusing beats any ocean cruise hands down!!
Reviewed By KJT - Grandville, MI | Traveled to Rhine Valley ~ Germany ~ Europe
Delightful experience to work with Karen for our amazing river cruise. Historically we have always booked our vacations on our own, a lot of stress and worry if we got the best vacation for our time. For this trip we reached out to Karen with interest in a Canadian rail tour, and Karen shared that she had this trip planned with others from the local area and suggested we join them. We are so glad we changed to this trip!!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

A travel planner who plans the perfect vacations!
Reviewed By Sarah - Hudsonville, MI | Traveled to Europe
Karen knows how to plan a vacation. We travel frequently and she always comes up with new ideas for us and after each vacation follows up asking how it was. She is a true Travel Planner....from beginning to end. She cares for her clients and that is why we continue to use her.

Alaska Cruise was perfect
Reviewed By Marlene - Holland, MI | Traveled to Alaska ~ USA
First time using a travel agent and it was a great experience. Karen was a big help to us as we planned our cruise to Alaska. She suggested a few days on land to see the beautiful country. It was the perfect ending to our vacation. Everything we needed for our trip was sent to us before our cruise so we were ready to go. We were in great hands and I will use Always Travel Season for our next vacation.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Corporate Incentive Trip a Huge Success!
This is the second year we relied on Always Travel Season, Samantha and Karen, to manage our resort venue and airfare arrangements for our corporate trip. Coordinating flights from the United States is a challenging task, Samantha and Karen it flawlessly. Upon arrival, we were well-prepared with scheduled meetings and felt highly organized as we gathered to celebrate our top salesperson awards. Thank you for making it happen again!

Group Trip to Punta Cana a Success!
We heard about Karen from a friend who said she had the best travel agent. A group of friends wanted to do a trip together. We reached out to Karen to help us come up with a resort and destination. She handled all of the details and reminded us with our final payments were due. She mailed emailed and mailed our travel documents to us plus helpful tips and suggestions. She gave us information to help us with the immigration process and it was really helpful. The transfer was waiting for us with our names on signs. We had a great time in Punta Cana and loved our resort. We loved the butler service our resort offered to each of us. Our group is planning to do this again next year and looking forward to seeing what Karen comes up with for us. Best Trip Ever!
