Tailored River Cruise Experiences Across Europe, Africa, Asia & Beyond

As a dedicated river cruise specialist, I help travelers discover the most enriching and memorable way to explore the world—by river. River cruising offers the perfect blend of cultural immersion, scenic travel, and luxurious comfort. Whether you’re navigating the legendary Danube, gliding past vineyards on the Rhine, or exploring the temples along the Mekong, I’m here to match you with the perfect itinerary, ship, and stateroom for your personal travel style.

I’ve personally sailed many of Europe’s most iconic rivers and have escorted multiple river cruise groups, providing support, insight, and local expertise along the way. I understand that choosing the right river cruise isn’t just about the destination; it’s about the entire experience: the onboard vibe, the cuisine, the excursions, the service, and the comfort of your stateroom. With so many cruise lines, routes, and ship configurations to choose from, a knowledgeable advisor makes all the difference.

My Credentials & Training

I’ve completed advanced training with every major river cruise line and participated in ASTA’s River Cruise Expo multiple times, where I personally inspected 28 river cruise ships across 9 major brands—a rare opportunity that gives me inside knowledge of ship layouts, amenities, and the key differences between cruise lines. This hands-on experience allows me to offer real insight, not just brochures or guesswork.

Cruise lines I specialize in include:

• AmaWaterways
• Avalon Waterways
• Viking River Cruises
• Tauck
• Uniworld Boutique River Cruises
• Riviera Travel
• Scenic & Emerald Cruises
• Riverside Luxury Cruises
• Amadeus River Cruises
• CroisiEurope

Each brand has its own strengths, personality, and style—and I help you navigate them all.
