River Cruising Travel Specialist

Very responsive to all questions...even while on the trip itself.

We absolutely enjoyed our experience working with Laura. She took the time to connect with us when we had a issue while traveling in China. Her professionalism was unsurpassed. We plan on working with here in the future!

I always refer friends and family to Laura. Not only does she find the exact cruise we are looking for, she always has helpful suggestions to make our trips perfect.

Laura is just simply AWESOME!! If you want the best vacation call her!
I cannot believe how she can come through like she does! I would NEVER use anyone else for my family travels.

Laura is outstanding. She is fun, friendly, professional, knowledgeable and makes travel seamless. If you are going to travel, call Laura now.

Excellent service, can’t say enough about how highly I would recommend Laura, she is the best.

Laura is always available to help you out with questions or concerns.

Laura was wonderful in helping to plan our Alaskan Cruise
She met with us and went over everything and gave us many helpful hints. I would recommend her to anyone

I definitely would recommend her. She is a great person to work with, very understanding. She always tries to explain to us the available options and tries to provide the best options to cover what we need.

Laura was very helpful and went above and beyond. Can’t wait to plan our next trip with her.

Laura helped me to plan my “dream trip”! It was amazing. It was everything I thought it would be plus more. She even made me a hair appointment in Paris which was part of my dream trip too! Laura did a fantastic job in every aspect of my trip planning. She is fabulous!

Friendly, prompt return of phone calls or messages. Incredible in organizing travel, hotel, excursions.

Laura is phenomenal!
We texted or emailed her several times from Europe to make a change or two. She took care of it asap. I don't think she sleeps.
Laura gave us great suggestions & helped us tweak our Mediterranean Cruise. She answers every question with patience, no matter how simple.
I wouldn't use anyone else.
We traveled to Spain, France & Italy.

Laura’s knowledge of European river cruises is outstanding, helping us to decide which cruise and cruise line to take. Laura took care of every detail for us. Top notch service all the way!

I just returned from a Cosmo bus trip to the national parks in Utah in Arizona. Something I’ve always wanted to do and it was an amazing experience. My travel agent picked the right plan and helped me through every stage of the reservation process as well as a follow up. As soon as I returned, I booked my next trip to Britain in 2027 with her.

We had the trip of a lifetime thanks to Laura for her help and recommendations! She reserved everything for us and made our trip an easy itinerary to follow.

I have used Laura for many years and referred her to many friends. She has ALWAYS been there for me. She helps with the planning process, gives us as much information as I need but also lets me do what I want. I have referred her to many, many people and everyone has been happy with her expertise, kindness, patients and help!

Laura is the absolute best to work with. She is always available for any questions or concerns, will help with any additional excursions you m ay be looking for, and makes sure you are well taken care of from the time you leave home util you return. I highly recommend Laura for your next trip!

Laura was instrumental in helping me decide my retirement celebration excursion! She assisted me every step of the process and provided insightful information of the various places I would be visiting. She was always available by text or email. She handled everything from start to finish. I will continue to utilize her services in the future.

I have been so far for 50+ countries; almost one third of those I did before I knew Laura. I used to do reservations by myself or with the help of different agents and had a lot of headaches. I have been dealing with the Wake’s Travel for the last 13 years where Laura arranged for all the trips I did either with my husband or solo. Each of those trips included the visit of multiple countries which she arranged for us through air/ cruises or air/ trains all around the world. Laura made my life of exploring the world so easy. She was always very organized, listened to all my needs, and was always very patient to deal with a picky customer like myself. She treats customers as friends and would make her best to arrange in ways for maximum enjoyments; probably the same way if she would do those reservations for herself. I can’t say enough on how professional and friendly she is. I have never had any issues with any of the arrangements and reservations she made, except for minor issues that

Laura was a pleasure to work with from the very start! Knowledgeable about the various cruise options, budget considerations and ports to depart from in Florida. She made our planning a snap! Laura stayed in touch and on top of details...even following up after the cruise to ensure we received the onboard credit and enjoyed the trip. We tell our family and friends to call Laura to book their vacations now.

Mrs. Laura Wake Kennedy has been our agent for the past several years. She arranged for us several cruises and we had the best experience working with her. She understands our needs and arranges every thing the exact way we like it to be. She is very organized and is always available to answer any questions and to respond to any concerns. She explains things really well and provides all available options but she never pressures people to choose any of them and leaves the choice for the clients. Once we had been to the different destinations she arranged for us, everything went well and according to the organized schedule/ travel documents she prepare for us, including but is not limited to our picking up at the airports, dropping at the hotels, and transportation to and back from the pier. We had been on several cruises and we thought as if she had been with us, making sure that everything went well. In summary, it has been a pleasure working with Mrs. Wake Kennedy.

Laura was very helpful and always available to answer any questions and help us thru the whole process.

working with Laura was a pleasure. No need to worry about any details everything was taken care of.

My experience having Laura as my travel agent has been nothing less than superior.
I have booked 2 trips with her to Europe-Spain and a Mediterranean Cruise. She was there from start to finish -finding the best airlines,transfers,and hotels, etc., for my needs.. She also guided me with her vast travel experience and makes herself available to meet if needed..
She has helped me with a few panicky situations while in Europe and she never disappointed. It's like having someone there 24/7(well, she does need to sleep). I even needed to cancel a trip and she took it all in stride.
I have had other travel agents in the past, however, Laura is the one I will stay with.

Laura is an excellent travel agent - she thinks of everything! So appreciated from a novice traveler. Also, Laura answers all questions in a timely manner.

Laura was extremely helpful in arranging our trip. She met with us several times to give us information. She was very prompt in answering questions and sending material. Her helpful travel packet was organized, useful, and appreciated. When we arrived on our cruise ship, we received a gift of wine from her. Laura also checked with us after our return to make sure everything had gone well.

Very Helpful. She was there when I needed her:)

Our trip to London, Dublin and Ashford castle on the west coast of Ireland could not have been any better! I have worked with Laura in the past and I knew that she would get everything right. She put in an amazing level of detail for our itinerary and every stop and departure went very smooth and according to plan. The sites and restaurants that she recommended were superb.

I highly recommend Wakes Travel for any trip, anywhere!

Efficient and knowledgeable. Great to work with.

Laura is attentive, detail oriented and totally focused on making your vacation the very best. She truly cares about her clients and helping them see the world one trip at a time is her passion.

It was a complete pleasure working with Laura. She was detailed oriented on all aspects.
