About Me

As a Travel Advisor with a strong focus on European cruising, I bring firsthand experience and insider knowledge to help my clients create unforgettable journeys across the continent. Whether you're gliding along the Danube or Rhine on a luxurious river cruise or setting sail on the Mediterranean or Adriatic seas, I curate itineraries that go beyond the ship.

I specialize in selecting open-jaw cruises—those that begin and end in different ports—which allow travelers to explore multiple regions in depth. This approach opens the door to enriching pre- and post-cruise stays, whether it's sipping wine in Alsace before a river cruise, wandering the cobblestone streets of Zurich after disembarkation, or enjoying the coastal charm of Naples before a Mediterranean voyage.

My clients benefit from my personal travel experiences, including river cruising through Germany, France, and Switzerland, and sea cruising along Italy’s Amalfi Coast, the Greek Isles among many other European countries. I’ve explored historic towns, sampled local cuisine, and uncovered hidden gems that I now share with travelers looking for authentic and seamless European adventures.

In addition to individual travel planning, I specialize in group travel coordination, helping families, friends, and affinity groups experience Europe together with ease. From reserving blocks of cabins to organizing shared excursions and dining experiences, I ensure every detail is handled so groups can focus on enjoying the journey. Whether it's a multi-generational family trip, a holiday cruise with friends, or a themed group sailing, I provide personalized support to make group travel smooth and memorable.

I also offer guidance on seasonal specialties like Christmas Market cruises, where festive charm meets cultural immersion, and I help travelers navigate pre-cruise options and post-cruise extensions to make the most of their time abroad. 

Whether you're a first-time cruiser or a seasoned traveler, I’m here to help you discover Europe in a way that’s personalized, enriching, and unforgettable.

Trip of a lifetime!
Reviewed By Sydney - Glenwood, IA | Traveled to Italy | Europe
My first experience with Brandi as a travel agent was for a trip throughout Italy. She had it planned and organized all the way down to what times we needed to leave our hotels to arrive at the train stations in time. We got to experience so many things I would have never even known about if it weren’t for her!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Trip of lifetime!
Reviewed By Brandis#1fan - Papillion, Nebraska | Traveled to Europe
Brandi planned a three week trip for our group of seven to Europe which included the following countries (Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, Estonia, Latvia, and Finland) . An incredible amount of time, work, and planning went into orchestrating this trip from planning air and land travel, hotels, restaurants, bars/pubs, excursions/private tours, sights to see or must-see's. Our experiences during this trip were amazing from visiting the Cathedral in Cologne to private walking tour of Amsterdam and Berlin to exquisite overnight stays to Bacharach and Rothenburg to the Vasa in Stockholm to the Baltic Sea cruise. So many experiences and memories to count! Everything was amazing and Brandi had us prepared well ahead of time of what and how to pack, travel expectations, guides, etc. She does extensive research prior to her planning. I have already recommended her to several friends and family members and we have used her several times since that trip. She is definitely my go-to travel agent!

The smallest details are included!!
Reviewed By Travelin D - Papillon, NE | Traveled to Europe
Brandi always makes sure that every last thing is included in your plans! From tours to wonderful destinations! Her attention to detail is beyond reproach. We will only use Brandi from now on. Her pricing is better than anyone we have found, and her personal customer service is incredible. She will become your “go to” agent once you use her service one time!
