About Me

Ready to sail away? What's your style ... River cruise? Ocean cruise? No matter which I can help. Having traveled on more than 10 cruises, I have first hand knowledge on Avalon, Viking, Disney Cruise Line, Norwegian, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruise Line, Princess Cruises ... an MORE!

My favorite part about cruising is that you get to see more of the world as you visit multiple destinations. There is so much to do in each port whether it's a guided tour or excursion or you explore the destination at your leisure.

What style do YOU prefer? Ocean cruising offer many tropical options with larger ports and on a river cruise you have the opportunity to explore small quaint towns. An ocean cruise has endless activities on board and while a river cruise ship offer plenty of things to do it offers a more intimate and relaxing vibe.

When you're ready to hop on board a river or ocean cruise give me a call!!

50th Wedding Aniversary Celebration
Reviewed By Ron - Gilbert, AZ and Blaine, MN | Traveled to Mexico
We were looking for a place our whole family could go to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. This meant finding a place children, teenagers and adults could all enjoy. Karen gave us several options and we settled on Tulum, MX. Karen made all the air travel, local transportation and lodging arrangements for us. Gave us good suggestions of things to do there. Everything was provided as promised. She is a great vacation planner.
