About Me

Cruising on the Rhine River
Cruising on the Rhine River

If you have ever dreamed about having a glass of champagne as you cruise by castles on the Rhine, enjoying the Christmas Markets as you cruise the Danube, learning, sipping a fine Bordeaux as you learn from a sommelier on a wine cruise down the Seine, or take in the pyramids as you cruise up the Nile, I can help make your dreams come true.

River cruises are a wonderful way to see several countries while only unpacking once. I love river cruising! I have been on two cruises on the Rhine River and am looking forward to cruising the Seine River next April. River cruises are amazing!

You are on a small ship, with only about 150 passengers, and you cruise through each of the countries rather than just visiting a port or two. The ships dock in or very close to the center of the cities you visit and you can just walk off of the ship and start exploring!

In addition, the ships are beautiful, the water is smooth (so no motion sickness), and the food on board is included and delicious. Finally, on certain river cruise lines, even your drinks and a variety of excursions in each port are included. Imagine enjoying your visits to several cities and countries as you dine on gourmet food and drink fine wines.

Contact me and let's talk about which river you want to cruise next!

Better than we could have ever imagined!
Reviewed By James - Bothell, WA | Traveled to Kapolei, Hawaii ~ Hawaii ~ USA
My wife and I wanted to have a honeymoon we would never forget, but we worried about how much planning and stress it could be to get it all together. Thankfully we found John and he took care of everything! He got us a killer deal at a resort on Honolulu in Hawai'i, was always so kind and courteous, quickly answered every question we had, was extremely knowledgeable, and gave us the best honeymoon we could possibly have! Every day was so magical, so well organized, and so fun and the best part? We didn't have to plan a thing! John worked with us to figure out what our top activities we wanted to do, if we wanted a more relaxed or adventurous time, and what our dining preferences were like and he found us the perfect place to stay with an amazing itinerary of activities to do. I would highly recommend John at Adventures Awaits World Travel to anyone looking to have all the fun of a well-organized family vacation, without any of the hassles to plan it!

Reviewed By Meg - Suffolk, VA | Traveled to Cozumel ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
Just returned from an amazing adventure in Cozumel, Mexico, thanks to John and Jackie at Adventure Awaits World Travel! All we had to do was contact them and saved ourselves countless hours of stress and searching the internet. Our whole group had complete peace of mind throughout the planning process as they guided us through finding a beautiful all-inclusive resort in our budget, awesome excursions, and even travel insurance. We were able to relax and enjoy every minute of our vacation, knowing John and Jackie were available to help if any questions came up. Our whole trip was even better than we imagined!! I highly recommend Adventure Awaits World Travel and will definitely call them again!

Such a wonderful time!
Reviewed By Jason - Seattle, WA | Traveled to Oahu Island ~ Hawaii ~ USA
John went above and beyond to make sure my wife and I had a wonderful trip. We were so busy with life that we didn't have time to figure out the logistics ourselves and could not have made it work during such a busy season without John working so hard to find great deals and our dream trip came true! His kindness and professionalism were all amazing and we'll definitely be using John and Adventure Awaits World Travel again for future trips!
