About Me

Travel That Moves You

There’s something special about watching the landscape unfold from the water. River cruising lets you settle in, unpack once, and relax while the world glides past your window. This is a style of travel for all ages.

Each morning brings a new destination without the hassle of airports or long drives. One day you’re walking through a medieval village, the next you’re exploring vibrant markets or standing in awe of wildlife along the riverbanks. Your ship becomes your sanctuary. It's intimate, welcoming, and effortlessly comfortable.

 

Beyond Europe Rivers That Tell Stories

While many people picture European waterways, river cruising stretches far beyond. Imagine sailing the Nile in Egypt, spotting elephants along the Chobe River in Africa, or exploring the Mekong through Vietnam and Cambodia. These journeys blend culture, history, and nature in a way that feels immersive yet wonderfully simple.

River cruises are designed to remove the stress and elevate the experience. Excursions, dining, and thoughtful details are seamlessly included, so you can be present in every moment. Tasting local cuisine, connecting with fellow travelers, and truly absorbing each destination.

 

Expert Guidance, Personalized for You

As a travel advisor who specializes in river cruising, I help match your travel dreams with the right river, ship, and pace. Every cruise line and itinerary offers something different, and together we’ll design a journey that feels perfectly tailored to you.

My goal isn’t just to book a trip. It’s to create an experience where you feel cared for from the first conversation to the moment you return home with stories to tell. River cruising makes travel beautifully simple. I’m here to make it unforgettable.

Expert level London and Barcelona Family Trip
Reviewed By Tim K - Libertyville, IL | Traveled to London | England | Europe
We just flew in from Barcelona and man, are our arms tired! What a great trip. We gave our travel advisor, Katie Connelly a very short window of time for travel for a family of 4 to 2 different cities (London and Barcelona) and she created a fun and interesting itinerary and found accommodations that were excellent. She handled complex travel arrangements that would have left me flustered and confused. Her logistics were seamless! We enjoyed our vacation very much and it was all thanks to Katie‘s planning and advice. Without her services we would have been lost. I cannot speak more highly of her professionalism and communications skills. We would recommend working with Katie to anybody and we can’t wait to take our next trip!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Portugal Anniversary
Reviewed By Mary A - Hills, MN | Traveled to Portugal | Europe
What an incredible trip! We spent 10 days in Portugal for our anniversary and Katie planned the entire thing from start to finish. We are savvy international travelers, but needed an assist with this trip because life has been so hectic, we didn't have time to plan it on our own. Katie did an introduction call with us to learn about our preferences and created such an incredible itinerary for us. She asked for feedback throughout the process so we felt involved and informed. BEST TRIP EVER! The perfect combination of romance, relaxation, and adventure through a beautiful country.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Last Minute Universal Christmas
Reviewed By HPMom - Nebraska | Traveled to Universal Orlando | Florida | USA
We called Katie a few weeks before Christmas and couldn't find tickets to Universal to surprise our kids. She was able to find tickets to the parks and a great rate at a Universal resort that saved us money on the express passes. She created an itinerary to help us maximize our time so we could hit the things we wanted AND she had great suggestions for things to check out that we knew nothing about. This was such a hit and I'm so happy we tagged her in to help us out!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
