About Me

Heidelberg Germany
Heidelberg Germany

There’s something undeniably magical about discovering Germany by river. From the rolling vineyards of the Rhine Valley to the storybook castles that crown its hillsides, every bend of the river offers a new postcard-perfect view.

A German river cruise is more than a vacation, it’s a journey into history, culture, and tradition, all experienced at a relaxing pace that allows you to truly savor the moment.

As a travel advisor passionate about river cruises and land adventures, I know that Germany offers some of the most unforgettable itineraries in the world. Picture yourself sailing past medieval towns like Rüdesheim and Koblenz, where cobblestone streets and half-timbered houses invite you to linger.

Imagine raising a glass of crisp Riesling in the Moselle Valley, famous for its terraced vineyards. Or perhaps you’d prefer the legendary Romantic Rhine, where each castle seems to tell a story of knights, legends, and emperors long past.

The beauty of a river cruise is the seamless blend of exploration and ease. No constant packing or moving between hotels...your floating boutique hotel takes you right into the heart of Germany’s most enchanting towns. Every day brings a new destination to explore, whether it’s a guided excursion, a cultural performance, or a leisurely stroll along the riverbanks.

There are so many options; Rhine, Main, Elbe, Moselle—selecting the right cruise can feel overwhelming. That’s where my expertise comes in. I’ve dedicated my career to matching travelers with their perfect river journey.

I’ll help you decide:

  • Which river best matches your interests, whether wine, history, art, food, or nature.
  • Which cruise line fits your travel style, from luxury all-inclusive experiences to more casual, value-friendly voyages.
  • How to maximize your journey with pre- and post-cruise stays in iconic cities like Berlin, Munich, or Frankfurt.
  • Insider tips on excursions, dining, and special seasonal sailings, such as Germany’s famous Christmas Markets.

Through Travel Leaders, I have access to exclusive perks and promotions you won’t find booking on your own. From onboard credits to private transfers and special amenities, I ensure your Germany adventure delivers both value and memories.

My goal is simple: take care of every detail so all you have to do is pack your bags and start enjoying.

Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, looking for a bucket-list adventure, or simply craving the charm of European villages and vineyards, an adventure in Germany is a perfect choice.

The blend of culture, history, and breathtaking scenery makes it one of the most rewarding ways to experience Europe.?

Are you ready to sip Riesling on the Rhine, explore castles on the Moselle, or wander through Berlin’s history?

Let’s turn that dream into a reality. Call me today at 231-206-2781 or email me at [email protected] to start planning your Germany adventure.

Guten Tag, Germany!

I do all the work… you make all the memories!

Our very own Fairy Godmother
Reviewed By GrammyFan2026 - Frankenmuth, MI | Traveled to Orlando | Florida | USA
We began talking with Julee Wilke for the first time when our trip to Disney World was in the "maybe" stage until the day we left. The trip included our five and seven-year-old grandkids, our son and DIL and Papa and myself. Julee's hotel and food suggestions saved us so much time in research and made for a vacation that covered everyone's wants, needs and must haves. It seems there was no question too challenging (bands, lightning lane, reservations...) as she'd quickly respond with confidence. We have always done our own planning and put in hours upon hours of research. This was almost too easy. We are forever grateful for her part in our family vacation and look forward to another trip soon, just so we can use her talents and knowledge again.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Spur of the moment “SENIOR” trip!
Reviewed By KWiseman - Orlando | Traveled to Orlando | Florida | USA
Julee helped my husband and I check off a bucket list (for me) trip to Disney to simply wander as a newly retired couple and explore all that the parks have to offer ! She pulled together a well thought out itinerary coupled with great tips and suggestions for our spur of the moment getaway. She was quick to respond to any questions and genuinely seemed invested in our trip. In spite of our relatively modest plans, she was very attentive.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
