Agent Specializing in Cruising, Theme Parks & More
My passion is your adventure, simple as that. I will take your travel dreams and do everything I can to turn them into reality. Cruising is one of the most popular and fastest growing types of travel. I specialize in both ocean and river cruising. Destinations include the Caribbean, Alaska, Europe, the Mediterranean or Hawaii. Or maybe a Disney or Universal adventure is more your style, I can do that too! If cruising or theme parks don't suit you, there are land and rail tours or independent travel options to just about anywhere in the world!

Ireland/Scotland bus tour
Reviewed By Michele - Columbia MO | Traveled to Ireland | Europe
Chrissi did a marvelous job in taking care of our Trafalgar bus tour through Ireland and Scotland. We saw and did so much! Many castles, ate at some great restaurants, and nice hotels. I gave limited mobility. Having the bus company take care of luggage was a big help for hubby. I was able to get on and off coach with no problems. Bus driver and travel director made sure I did ok. Chrissi also took care of air fare. She also had lots of communication and asked lots of questions. Answered all our questions too! We are using herr again for a cruise in 2026!!!

Nashville 2025
Reviewed By TnP2025 - Independence, MO | Traveled to Nashville | Tennessee | USA
Christina was helpful in arranging a block of rooms for Mothers Day weekend. The Hampton Suites/Downtown Nashville was within walking distance of the Ryman Auditorium and other attractions in downtown Nashville. Christina also ensured that housekeeping contacted us in regards to some special needs we personally have. She was prompt in answering any questions we had about our visit.
Christina Dees responded
"Thank you for your review, it was wonderful to meet you! I would love to know what I could have done better to get 5 stars. :)
I hope you will consider my services for your next trip and send referrals my way! "

The best trip ever with Amy Grant!
Reviewed By Grant head 913 - Taylors, SC | Traveled to Nashville | Tennessee | USA
Amy Grant held a Mother’s Day weekend event with concerts on Friday night and Saturday night. Christina was able to get a block of rooms for some of us that was only 2 blocks away from the Ryman Auditorium for an extremely reasonable rate. All of the other downtown hotels used their rates for Mothers Day, but thanks to Chrissy, I was able to stay downtown. Last year, I actually had to go to the Gaylord because the prices downtown were astronomical and prohibitive. We had a slight issue checking in at 4:00, which is when check-in time started. They didn’t have our room ready and we waited for 45 minutes and then were told that they had tried to text me earlier. That never happened. We finally asked again at 4:45 about the room and they hustled us up to it. The room was clean and quiet, even though the hotel was clearly busy. I would definitely stay there again and will use Chrissy again for future visits.
Christina Dees responded
"Thank you so much for taking the time to review your stay and my services. I am so glad that everything went well, event thought it started out a little rough. I look forward to helping my fellow Amy Grant fan with your future travel needs! "

Spending the Holidays in England
One of my favorite childhood memories is getting to go to England for a month with my Grandmother. This is likely where my love for travel began.
We spent Christmas and the New Year's holidays in a small town just outside London with my Great Grandmother, Great Aunt, Great Uncle and several other relatives. We did make our way to Londo...
