River Cruise Specialist

Love sailing the rivers of Europe

Hello, I’m Karen — a travel advisor specializing in river cruises. I love river cruising for its relaxed pace, seamless travel, and the convenience of unpacking only once, all while exploring off-the-beaten-path destinations. I help travelers enhance their journeys with curated pre- and post-cruise extensions, creating elevated, well-rounded vacations.

I am certified and have personally sailed with Viking, AmaWaterways, and Avalon Waterways, and I work closely with leading small-ship lines to match travelers with the ship, itinerary, and onboard experience that best fits their style. Insights gained from attending the ASTA River Cruise Expo allow me to provide confident, tailored recommendations.

No two river cruises are the same — even cruises on the same river differ by cruise line, ship, and itinerary. I guide clients through every choice, from river selection and cabin category to excursions, dining, and onboard amenities, ensuring each itinerary is personalized, refined, and memorable.

Whether you’re seeking an immersive European river cruise, an intimate small-ship journey, or a culturally rich experience, I help you select the river, cruise line, and itinerary that best match your travel style and preferences — and can also assist with pre- and post-cruise extensions to make your journey even more seamless and memorable.
