About Me

Every river tells a story
Every river tells a story

Luxury river cruising is one of the most effortless and enriching ways to see the world, and I love helping my clients discover why.

River cruising has quickly become a mainstream way to experience Europe (and beyond). From the romantic rivers of Europe to the Nile in Egypt, the Mekong in Asia, Africa’s safari focused rivers, or the Magdalena in Colombia, each river offers its own unique experiences, culture, and charm — and I help travelers choose the perfect one for their style, interests, and pace.

Whether it’s a couple seeking a romantic getaway, a family creating lifelong memories, or a group of friends celebrating together, river cruising offers comfort, convenience, and an immersive experience that can’t be matched. River cruises offer something for everyone, with themed journeys focused on wine, history, wildlife safaris, or the festive magic of Christmas markets.

Think of a river cruise as your scenic mode of transportation while only unpacking one time! One of the joys of river cruising is that so much is included — accommodations, gourmet dining, onboard entertainment, and guided shore excursions — making it easy to relax and enjoy every moment without worrying about the details.

Let’s start talking about what river cruise is best for you!

The BEST
Reviewed By PBurck - Florida | Traveled to Austria | Europe
I have to start by saying that Kristen is truly the BEST!!!! As a recent college grad, I had a pretty tight budget but I still wanted to celebrate the hard work that I had put in for college. Kristen was so sweet, supportive, and accommodating to getting our trip to a fun and budget friendly option. She worked very hard to make our trip magical! Kristen found The Sound of Music tour and a really fun cooking class for my roommate and I to enjoy! We had the best trip together and this couldn’t have been possible without Kristen’s help! She stepped up and went above and beyond with helping us take care of the big and small details of our trip! Highly recommend Kristen!!!! Once again, she is the absolute BEST!!!!!!

Kristen is your answer!
Reviewed By KKelly - Dayton, OH | Traveled to Rhine River | On the River | At Sea
Are your friends or family always saying “we should do this/we should go there/let’s plan a girls trip”? Kristen Kocher is your answer and she will always make it happen. Booking through Kristen ensures you and your travel companions can review options and then make informed decisions together. She is excellent at curating possibilities based on your ideas and preferences. I appreciate her expertise and quick communication. I love being able to hash out plans via email. Working with Kristen over the past few years has made so many memorable trips possible: AmaWaterways river cruises, London to see the Eras Tour, a Paris museum trip, and hotel stays in Los Angeles and New York. Your dream vacation will become a reality, and your friends and family will appreciate your initiative, so reach out and get started!

Exceptional Service & A Seamless Experience!
Reviewed By JMKMocas - Centerville, OH | Traveled to Caribbean Sea | At Sea | At Sea
I can't recommend Kristen highly enough! From the very beginning, she was professional, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable. She took the time to understand exactly what I wanted from our trip. Every detail was thoughtfully planned and perfectly executed. What really stood out was her personal touch and commitment to making the trip stress-free and memorable. Even when I had a last-minute question during the trip, she responded quickly and helped out tremendously! Everything ran smoothly. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about your travel experience and goes the extra mile to make it unforgettable, look no further than Kristen!! I’ll definitely be booking with her again.

The Best Cruise
Reviewed By TReaman - Centerville, OH | Traveled to Caribbean Sea | At Sea | At Sea
My husband is the planner and needs the all the details. Kristen was fantastic in addressing all his questions and putting together an awesome itinerary for our cruise. Kristen was so easy to talk with, understood our vision, and put together a well organized travel plan. Fortunately, it all came together seamlessly. It was nice to know if we hit any roadblocks we had Kristen’s help. 100% would recommend Kristen!
