AmaWaterways, Avalon Waterways, Tauck, Crystal, VikingAbout Me
For 15+ years, I have planned travel with a focus on river cruising. During this time I was manager of a branch office for the leading US travel organization, which allowed me to work closely with the representatives from many different river cruise lines. This unique insight and knowledge of the subtle differences has helped me guide clients to assure a good match of their interests, travel style and expectations with the right cruise company and river destination. I plan river cruise vacations throughout Europe, in Africa and Asia, along with pre and post cruise independent and/or escorted travel.

Client Testimonials
Great girls getaway
Cheryl was such a huge help in planning our small group getaway. She was great answering all of our questions and concerns, and making sure each of us felt included in the planning. Such an asset to have someone looking out for all the group and all the details. It turned what could have been a very stressful situation into a very fun trip.
Janet C, Jackson, MS
Couldn't have done it without her!
I am a single mother who had saved for years to take my son on a college graduation dream trip to Hawaii. Cheryl was very understanding and patient, working very closely with me on budget, activities and all details to fulfill this dream. And the trip was all I imagined and more. I couldn't be more thankful for all she did to make this dream come true.
Paula C, Goose Creek, SC
Best vacation ever
Cheryl has provided travel advisor services that have made all the difference in our vacation experiences. She has been able to expertly determine and match us with ideal itineraries, cruise lines, hotels and experiences. Communication and guidance is always proactive and excellent, all details handled and explained. Special experiences selected have always been perfect for us, fitting our travel style and preferences. My husband and I both highly recommend her and we're typically hard to please.
Mary B, Houston, TX
My go to!
I travel regularly and Cheryl is my go to. From river cruises, excursions, regional tours and more, her knowledge, resources and experience are priceless! I appreciate her attention to detail, good communication and follow through, and she makes complicated travel planning simple and fun.
Mike P, Charleston, SC
Trip of a lifetime
I was so impressed with Cheryl - taking time to understand what I wanted from my trip, my likes (and dislikes), including all the little touches and details that absolutely made the trip! Her communication was thorough and timely. Having her plan my trip and all the moving parts made for a seamless and stress free trip that I could just relax and enjoy!
Tim W, Madison, MS
Excellent trips and easy to work with
Cheryl has helped my husband and I with several trips and they have all been excellent. She finds great deals for us and awesome excursions. I would highly recommend Cheryl! She is super easy to work with and very likeable!
Diane M, Walterboro, SC
Prompt, thorough and reliable
Cheryl has provided excellent travel advisor services for me and my family ranging from organizing two honeymoons to choose from, a weekend jaunt to Amsterdam and a family reunion all-inclusive trip for my husband's 40th birthday. She is prompt, thorough and reliable and I highly recommend her!
Erin M, Los Angeles, CA
First rate service
I have been using AAA travel services for about twenty years and have always received first rate services. Cheryl Walton could not be nicer and tends to any problems that come up promptly.
James T, Charleston, SC
Detail oriented plus good communication
Cheryl has planned several vacations for us, from Disney to Alaska. She is detail oriented, & always prompt to answer questions and concerns. We highly recommend her services!
Jackie H, Hanahan, SC
Outstanding customer service!
Outstanding customer service! I highly recommend Cheryl for any travel planning needs. She booked our all-inclusive trip and her knowledge and handling of the details were remarkable and made the process so easy. She help us find an awesome resort that fit our budget.
Sharon G., Chattanooga, TN
Best decision!
Cheryl was able to broker a group deal that was better than we found on our own, as well as solve the 'who will book first' problem if we'd gone it alone! Also saved us $200 versus the fares we found solo. Travel agents are apparently very relevant these days!
Alex A, Columbia, SC
