About Me

Have you ever been on a river cruise? I recently had the pleasure of taking a Viking River Cruise in Europe. After this experience I certainly hope to sail another river in the future.

One of the nicest things about a cruise is that you only have to unpack once and you get to see multiple cities. A river cruise ship is very intimate and it has a very luxurious feel. The ships are much smaller than an ocean cruise ship. Being that it is more intimate you end up making friends with others on board and the crew. 

In my opinion the is the BEST way to see the “real” Europe. On a river cruise you get the opportunity quaint towns not just the large tourist cities. You dock every day and you get daily excursions included included with your cruise fare.

When you are in destination you have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the local history and culture. Each destination I visited was NEW for me so I learned a lot. I experienced wine country in the winter and the most memorable part was riding the Choo choo train.

When your ready to sail away on the river I'd be happy to help with your arrangements and tell you a little more about my personal experience.

Great adults get away!
Reviewed By Kim - Cottage Grove, MN | Traveled to Riviera Maya ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
Kristi was wonderful to work with! In the beginning stages of our trip planning, she spent a lot of time gathering information for us. When I would switch my thinking of destinations Kristi always reassured me and would share information with me. She was dedicated, hard working and always willing to go the extra mile. I thought it was great when I received an email from her during our vacation-she was just checking in to make sure all was going well.
I highly recommend Kristi for your travel needs. She is excellent at what she does!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
