River Cruising
Mid day break - Fondu and wine in Lake Lucerne
River cruising is my ideal travel destination – a perfect blend of relaxation and exploration that leaves a lasting impression. Picture yourself on a small cruise ship, gently sailing through beautiful landscapes with charming villages and historic landmarks.
Unlike ocean cruises, river cruises take you directly to your destinations, allowing you to dock in the heart of cities and towns. This closeness provides an authentic experience, from enjoying local cuisine to exploring cultural gems.
The smaller size of river cruise ships fosters a sense of community among passengers, creating lasting connections. The unhurried pace lets you soak in the scenery and enjoy a perfect balance of relaxation and adventure.
As the sun sets, the atmosphere on board is truly enchanting. Dining under the evening sky while the riverbanks pass by creates unforgettable moments. River cruising is a personalized journey, leaving you with lasting memories and tranquility.

This trip was everything I hoped it would be.
Reviewed By Carolyn - La Crosse, WI | Traveled to Luxembourg ~ Europe
Very good...always with a quick response to any questions. She did a very good job with flight tickets, hotels, and car rental. She "thought ahead"...like for the hotels to have parking available, to be close to the airport the final night, to turn the car in a day before departure so it wasn't a rush the morning of departure, etc. All things I hadn't thought of.
✓ I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Spectacular Alaskan Family Adventure!

Dream trip made possible
Reviewed By Jeff Munter - Oakdale, MN | Traveled to Ireland | Europe
I had dreamed of seeing Ireland for many years, and Shannon provided me with the opportunity to travel any way I wanted to. Anywhere from self guided with a rental car to with a travel group of other enthusiasts, which I chose. I saw everything I wanted, met some wonderful people, and even stayed an extra day for one final destination the tour didn’t hit. I wouldn’t have been able to do this without help from Shannon, much less the assurance that I had everything taken care of and help on the way if I needed it. I don’t get to do trips like this very often, and now I’m eager for the next one
✓ I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
