About Me

This is the Parliament House in Budapest.
This is the Parliament House in Budapest.

I specialize in River Cruises, primarily with Avalon Waterways and Uniworld. My expertise stems from personal experience cruising, coupled with comprehensive supplier training, and successfully planning numerous river cruises for clients. What I particularly enjoy about these cruises are the itineraries, which can range from 5 to 21 days. A typical river cruise takes you through multiple countries, offering diverse cultural and sightseeing experiences each day. Clients can expect a meticulously planned itinerary with both Avalon and Uniworld, which includes multiple excursion options tailored to individual interests. Think of the cruise ship as your "floating hotel"—you unpack once and wake up in a new destination each day. The cuisine is another highlight, featuring locally sourced, seasonally inspired dishes. Furthermore, the onboard staff prioritizes excellent service to ensure a smooth trip.

Even planning our travel experience is fun!
Reviewed By Mark D. - Blairsville, Ga. | Traveled to Switzerland ~ Europe
I absolutely love working on our travel arrangements with Christine Strickland! Her experience and attentiveness makes planning our itineraries almost as much fun as the travel itself. I come up with a destination or experience we would like to try with a few dates when we would like to travel and Super Agent Christine Strickland is "on it!" Within a short time she is back to me with sample itineraries, including her experience with the area in question, sample airline schedules and prices, hotel recommendations and even interactive lists of fun things to do and where to eat in the area! She makes us feel as though we are her only clients!
Christine Strickland responded
"Thanks Mark!"

We especially enjoyed two days at Frankfurt's Christmas Markets—a welcome change from merely passing through the city en route to the airport. Strasbourg, my favorite French cit...
