Vip Travels by Arlene

I am excited to share my love of travel, and create travel experiences for my customers. I joined Kauffman Travel Team/Dream Vacations, early spring of 2024, and have been on an intensive learning journey, putting my knowledge of travel with the "how to's" of the industry. From taking certification courses from luxury cruise lines, touring new Ships, and training with global land and air partners, I now have a valuable toolbox, along with years of experience in travel.

My husband and I have travelled to Australia, Europe, South America, Africa, Mexico, the Caribbean Islands, and many destinations in the U.S. My love of travel started in 2004 when I flew into Belize City, hopped on a small Cessna and flew into Gallon Jug Estate. We stayed at Chan Chich Lodge for 8 wonderful days, and I knew that TRAVEL was an adventure for life. With a goal of travelling to all 7 continents, my goal is to travel to Asia and Antartica. 

I plan to specialize in River Cruises, and have travelled with Viking on many itineraries, with more to come. I am fully certified in River, Ocean and Expeditions, and will use my knowledge and expertise to advise itineraries, room options, where to begin your cruise, "must do" excursions or  pre/post stays, and River Cruise lines that I would recommend for each customer's special interests.

I love the satisfaction and challenge of researching the areas of customers' travel, and advising best companies, routes, transfers, and transportation, utilizing the tools of training to make the best travel experience for each customer.
