“While I specialize in river cruises, luxury ocean sailings, expedition voyages, and sports travel packages, my work extends far beyond these niches. I design custom journeys across Europe, Asia, and South America — from guided tours of Japan’s cultural treasures to multi-country European land trips. And no matter the cruise line — whether it’s Viking, Regent, Disney, Norwegian, or Royal Caribbean — I make sure you get the best fit for your style of travel.”
