Luxury River and Ocean Cruising Specialist

Bridge in Budapest at night from our river cruise!

The lure of the water has been with us since ancient times. Today, luxury travel on the world's great rivers and oceans can be yours, and with my decades of cruise experience I can help you create the voyage of your dreams. As a certified specialist in river and luxury cruising, I have sailed on ships large and small, on the great rivers of Europe and the oceans of the world. There's nothing like stepping onto your stateroom balcony and seeing the city of Venice emerge from the morning mists, or enjoying the South Pacific sun setting over the island of Bora Bora. Go ashore and enjoy the beaches of St. Thomas, trek the rain forest of Dominica, swim with sting rays in Grand Cayman, dance the tango in Buenos Aires, zip line through the mountains of Mexico. From your river cruise ship, you can stop into a medieval town in Germany, climb up to a castle in Austria, bicycle across the Chain Bridge in Budapest, experience the marketplace of Saigon. And, crusing within the United States can be just as exciting: Alaska and the Pacific Northwest, the Mississippi, the Great Lakes and other exciting destination within our own borders. Each evening you enjoy the wine, food and music of the region and mingle with new-found friends from all over the world. On my most recent river cruise in Europe, I had the opportunity to sail on the new Viking longship from Budapest to Nuremburg for the Christmas Markets and reveled in the Christmas decorations and European charm. Whether you're a first-time cruiser or an experienced traveler, I have the experience and contacts to help you design a cruise that will go beyond ordinary to the exceptional.

DREAM WEDDING TRIP
I don’t even know where to start! Sue was an angel from day ONE! She got back to me immediately & throughout the entire process she was so responsive, professional, kind & treats you more like family than a client. 2 flights cancelled (Covid) & Sue ensured we were taken care of with new flights. She went above & beyond to ensure every single request we had was taken care of! Then, we had to get tested for Covid 72 hours before our trip (nightmare) & she went OUT OF HER WAY to speak with the lab to make sure we would get results. I don’t think that even falls in her job description?!!! I lost my bag (nightmare) heading to Bora & Sue was right on it making sure i got it back in time for my wedding. She never seemed too busy for us with our questions & made us feel like we were really a priority. I can’t say enough great things about Sue!!!!! Our trip would NOT be what it was without her. She is exactly who you need if you are traveling somewhere you have never been!

Travel Agency Done Right
Sue is so reliable and helpful, it's like taking an expert with you. When things happen (and they will), she quickly finds great options quickly. More than once I thought I was stranded by a cancelled flight or some emergency would come up where plans needed to be changed. She gets its done. She knows me and my family and what we will like. Her personal experiences help her guide us to good travel choices. In short, travel agent done right!

The best honeymoon we could ask for!
Susan was amazing. We don’t travel often and she was always there to answer my newbie questions no matter what day or time it was. She had everything planned out for us which made it so easy for us to focus on our wedding instead of stressing over getting everything scheduled for the honeymoon. I can’t recommend her enough and will always be appreciative of her helping our honeymoon go so well. I look forward to our next trip with Susan guiding the way!

The perfect honeymoon!
We have never booked through a travel agent before, and were skeptical at first. Looking back at our honeymoon however, we are so glad we trusted a professional with helping organize our trip. Each time we met with Sue she greeted us with a smile and had an itinerary outlined for us. She suggested resorts and locations we never thought we would be able to work into our budget, and we even ended up upgrading our room and adding an excursion to our vacation. She did an amazing job organizing the specifics of our trip including flights and shuttle services, after a busy week with our wedding it was wonderful knowing we just had to show up for our honeymoon and that everything had been taken care of. We would highly recommend booking your next vacation with Sue!
