About Me

Beautiful Viviers, France
Beautiful Viviers, France

River cruising is a luxurious, unparalleled way to travel & see the world. With a more intimate atmosphere than traditional ocean cruises, river cruising allows you to unpack just once & then step off the ship to explore some of the most stunning destinations on the planet.

From the European Rivers - Danube, Rhine, Rhone, Moselle, and Douro, to the Nile river and the stunning landscapes of Southeast Asia, there is a river cruise to suit every taste and preference. One of the best things about river cruising is the endless number of included excursions, which allow you to fully immerse yourself in the local culture & history of each destination.

Whether you prefer to wander through charming medieval towns, visit ancient ruins, or sample local cuisine, there is something for everyone on a river cruise. Experience the luxury and intimacy of river cruising for yourself and discover all that the world has to offer.

Great experience with Shelli!
Reviewed By Tel19 - Vancouver,BC | Traveled to Rhine River | On the River | At Sea
We had a fantastic experience with Shelli with booking and planning our river cruise. I have never worked with a travel agent before, but I’m very glad I reached out to Shelli to help me navigate river cruising as this was our first time. She was able to provide first hand experience and recommendations, and was even able to get us some credits which covered our gratuities! She always checked in and made sure to send us documents and information when it came up. Would definitely recommend to someone on the fence about working with a travel agent.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Amazing Trip!
Reviewed By Zay - Surrey BC | Traveled to Rio de Janeiro | Brazil | South America
We booked a a flight to Rio and a city tour with Shelli and all of the details were clear and triple checked by her. She even provided reminders the night before so we had the details fresh and ready to go. We will definitely use Shelli again!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

The trip I’ve been dreaming about my whole life would never have happened without Shelli!
Reviewed By Ashifa V - Vancouver, BC | Traveled to Rwanda | Africa
Seeing the gorillas in Rwanda was something I’ve dreamed of doing since I can remember. I never thought I could pull it together. With Shelli’s connections, her meticulous organizational skills, knowledge and expertise of all things (“wear long socks to keep the red ants away and thick soles shoes to prevent the sticks from penetrating into your feet”) she has created an itinerary for my family that is beyond anything I could have imagined. My son is immunocompromised and could not get the mandated yellow fever vaccine (an unexpected challenge and setback). Not only did Shelli help maintain calm during this VERY stressful time, she immediately went into action and used her network of contacts to connect with the biomedical agency in Rwanda and not only did we get a medical exemption, she arranged for a VIP reception at the airport to ensure smooth entry into the country for me and my children. I could go on and on but suffice to say, I would not be going on this dream vacation AND I would be out thousands of dollar if not for Shelli springing into action the way she did. Last year she did something similar when our flight to Iceland suddenly got cancelled the night before our trip and we nearly missed our 12 day Icelandic cruise. She didn’t sleep that entire night as she was frantically working to secure a new route for us which miraculously she did and salvaged our vacation at the last hour. Sure I could have saved a few bucks doing this by myself but would it have been worth it? No way! She makes the process easy, efficient, enjoyable and listens.. I mean really listens to what is important to me and then she stops at nothing to deliver that and more. Don’t think about it, just call her. I promise you will thank me and wonder how you ever planned a trip before without her. Safe travels to you, wherever your dream takes you…
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Wow! What a fantastic trip.
Reviewed By SalD - Delta, BC | Traveled to Turkey | Europe
Shelli arranged everything from airport pickup/drop off, flights, hotels, and tours. Everything was thought of and the vacation for our family was trouble free and relaxing. We will book our next vacation with her again.
