Kristin “Kris” Croenne, CTA Certified Travel Associate | Women’s & Family Travel, Group Tour, All-Inclusive & Cruise Specialist

Springfield, Illinois

Planning the perfect vacation should feel exciting—not overwhelming. I’m Kristin “Kris” Croenne, a Certified Travel Associate and full-service travel advisor with Dream Vacations, a proud Travel Leaders Network affiliate. I specialize in creating thoughtfully planned, stress-free vacations for travelers who want expert guidance, personal attention, and exceptional value from start to finish.

Personalized Travel Planning with a Human Touch

I work with clients who value having a dedicated advocate handle every detail of their trip. From the earliest planning conversations to booking, itinerary management, and support before and during travel, I’m here to make sure your vacation is seamless, well-organized, and truly enjoyable. My goal is simple: to protect your time, your investment, and your peace of mind while helping you experience the world with confidence.

Specializing in Women’s Travel

Women’s travel is at the heart of my business. I love working with solo women travelers, friends traveling together, and women seeking escorted or small-group experiences that feel safe, enriching, and well supported. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, reconnecting with friends, or stepping out on your own adventure, I design travel experiences that reflect your interests, comfort level, and sense of adventure.

Ocean & River Cruises, Escorted and Independent Tour Expertise

Cruising—both ocean and river—is one of my core specialties. I regularly plan vacations featuring major cruise lines as well as immersive river cruise experiences, helping clients choose the right itinerary, ship, and inclusions to match their travel style. I also arrange escorted tours and guided land vacations for travelers who appreciate structured experiences with knowledgeable guides and built-in logistics.  For the more adventurous, I can arrange a custom trip to your desired destination.

Destinations I Plan Most Often

I specialize in vacations to Europe, the Caribbean, Alaska, Central America, and Mexico’s Riviera Maya. From European cultural journeys and scenic river cruises to Caribbean getaways and Alaskan adventures, I help clients choose destinations and travel styles that align with their goals, pace, and budget.

Trusted Industry Credentials & Partnerships

I hold the Certified Travel Associate (CTA) designation and maintain destination and supplier certifications including Hawaii, Caribbean, Alaska, Costa Rica, Italy, Viking River Cruises and AmaWaterways. I work closely with trusted travel partners such as Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Celebrity, Princess Cruises®, AmaWaterways, Funjet Vacations, and Europe Express to deliver reliable service and well-vetted experiences.

Your Advocate Before, During, and After Travel

My clients appreciate knowing they have a real person looking out for their best interests—especially when plans change or unexpected issues arise. I’m known for being thorough, responsive, and persistent in solving problems, so you can focus on enjoying your trip instead of managing logistics.
