Dream it.
River Cruising is one of the best ways to see Europe and Asia. You won't experience motion sickness, because ships sail in shallow waters and only have a fraction of the passengers ocean cruises typically carry. A floating hotel and many destinations you’ll never tire of all the opportunities to immerse yourself in the local culture. Let's Talk.
-
You deserve it.
Wether you want to travel and plan your own itinerary or travel in a small group we can help with vacation planning to Europe, Asia, the tropics or any other destinations. We are here to assist. You may be a foodie, enjoy wine tours, appreciate architecture, or want a cultural immersion experience we can make it happen. You Deserve It.
-
Go for it.
Explore the world’s most intriguing ports of call on a cruise to the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Australia, or Alaska. Exclusive travel experiences ashore that are sure to provide adventure and cultural experiences. We have small cruise ship experiences in out of the way ports and more well known destinations with just the itinerary you are looking for. Go For It.
Are you a solo traveler?
As a female solo traveler it can be challenging to find travel plans that are safe and also affordable. We have a travel group just for women called Carol’s Crew.

It’s who you know
Our story is we are avid travelers just like you. We have discovered many new and exciting places to visit, along with must see destinations around the world.
We enjoy traveling but found the planning to be overwhelming. As busy professionals we didn’t have time to spend hours of our free time planning our vacations searching dozens of impersonal websites. We saw a need to bring a high quality personal experience to our clients who feel just as overwhelmed. Thus began our career as travel agents.
We are here to assist you with your travel planning to have the dream get away you desire. We are trained to help you plan your dream vacation, whether international or domestic. Just click the button below to start an inquiry how we can help plan your next vacation.
