About Me

Cruising on the Danube
Cruising on the Danube

River cruising is one of my favorite ways to travel. I equate it to a floating hotel. You get to see multiple destinations without having to pack up and go each time you are moving on.  River cruising is more intimate with only 160-180 people onboard, and you don't have to worry about getting seasick Many cruiselines are all-inclusive and the best part is that there is always a view when you are sailing down the river.

I have been on two cruises down the Danube with two different cruiselines- Amawaterways and Avalon waterways and they were both fantastic and I have also  sailed on the Rhine River with Amawaterways.  I traveled through  four different countries on the Danube- Austria, Germany, Hungary and Slovakia and on the Rhine I sailed through the Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany, and France. If you havent tried it I would highly recommend it!

I have attended a river cruise expo in Vienna where I had the opportunity to see over 30 cruiseships on various cruiselines. I know each one well and can direct you to one that is the best for you!

Knowledgable, Responsive, and Attention to Detail
Reviewed By Bill & Jan - Bradenton, Fl. | Traveled to Edinburgh | Scotland | Europe
We are thankful that our son introduced us to Jeanne Hamilton of Hamilton Premier Travel. We had booked a 26-day cruise to Iceland, Norway, and the British Isles a year in advance through another travel agent but were unable to book excursion tours for several ports that included all of the points of interest we wanted to see. Jeanne had arranged several private tours for our son and his family for a Mediterranean cruise, so at his suggestion we gave Jeanne a last minute call to see if she could help us out, even though we had some reservations about booking tours not purchased through the cruise line. We contacted Jeanne and shared our wants and concerns. She was familiar with the ports and points of interest we were interested in and assured us that she could find us reliable, knowledgable tour guides that would pick us up and return us to the port on time. She did just that. Our tour guides communicated with us prior to the tour to make sure that we knew at what time and where to meet. They were very personable and knowledgable, and made certain that we got to see the things we had requested to see. They also suggested some additional things to see and do to make use of any extra time on our schedule. We were also impressed that they provided comfortable, late model vehicles. We have been so impressed with Jeanne ’s knowledge, responsiveness and attention to detail that we’ve booked a tour of the Canadian Rockies and Glacier National Park through Jeanne for next year and look forward to working with her in planning other future adventures.

Amazing trip
Reviewed By Highly recommend - Sarasota, Glorida | Traveled to Alaska | USA
Jeanne took care of us from the planning of the trip, the information provided prior to arriving on the ship, the arrangements for the transportation to the ship, the stay in the hotel the night before embarking and the accommodation on the ship. Jeanne was great to work with and was always happy to answer any questions.

Dalmatia Coast Croatia/ Family owned yacht
Reviewed By Julie - Flowery Branch, GA | Traveled to Croatia | Europe
I have traveled extensively over the years, and I can honestly say this was one of the most enjoyable vacations I’ve ever taken! Croatia itself was stunning, but what truly made the trip exceptional was the level of preparation and organization that went into it. Every possible detail had been considered long before we arrived from packing list and transportation to restaurant recommendations and daily activities. Because of that planning, I never had to worry about logistics. I was simply able to relax and enjoy every moment. If you’re considering a Croatia yacht cruise or really any international vacation, I cannot recommend Jeanne with Hamilton Premier Travel highly enough. Her preparation communication and attention to detail allowed me to enjoy a completely stress-free vacation and that’s one of the greatest gifts a travel professional can give their clients! Thank you, Jeanne for an amazing vacation!

    Christmas market in Vienna

    Christmas markets on a River Cruise

    One of my all time favorite trips was a Christmas market cruise with Amawaterways on the Danube. We went at the end of November which was a great time to go.  There is nothing like walking in the streets of Vienna and seeing the Christmas decorations everywhere and all the markets around you to explore.  We sipped Gluwein which is a hot mulled w...
