About Me

Being a Certified AmaWaterways Specialist, I’ll take your river cruise idea and turn it into a reality. There’s something truly magical about an AmaWaterways journey and the way the ship glides along storied rivers, docking in the heart of charming towns while you relax on deck with a glass of local wine in hand. From Europe’s iconic waterways to your dream itinerary, I’ll help you plan a cruise that’s seamless, luxurious, and uniquely yours. Through in-depth training directly with AmaWaterways, I’ve gained expert insight into their ships, itineraries, excursions, and onboard experiences. This certification means I know the brand inside and out, from the subtle differences between stateroom categories to which itineraries best suit food lovers, history buffs, and first-time river cruisers.

 

Becoming an AmaWaterways Specialist means more than knowing how to book a cruise, it’s about understanding every detail that turns a river journey into something extraordinary. I know the fleet inside and out, from the classic elegance of the AmaDagio to the contemporary luxury of the AmaMagna, and can match you with the perfect ship, itinerary, and onboard experience. Whether you’re dreaming of Europe’s Rhine and Danube, Asia’s Mekong, or Africa’s Chobe, I’ll ensure every aspect of your sailing, from curated shore excursions to specialty wine cruises and wellness programs is tailored to your interests. As your travel advisor, I also help you unlock exclusive perks such as onboard credits, special promotions, and loyalty rewards that aren’t always visible online, giving you extra value and peace of mind.

 

When you book directly through AmaWaterways, you gain a reservation, but when you book through me, you gain a dedicated expert, advocate, and partner. I’ve completed in-depth training and ship visits so I can guide you toward the right sailing, stateroom, and pre- or post-cruise extensions. I take the time to understand your travel style and craft a personalized experience that reflects you, while handling every detail from flights and insurance to special requests. My goal isn’t just to plan one perfect trip, but to be your trusted travel resource for years to come. AmaWaterways is known for its warm service, award-winning cuisine, and immersive cultural experiences, and as your Certified AmaWaterways Specialist, I’ll make sure every moment from our first conversation to your final farewell is effortless, enriching, and unforgettable.

 

Let’s create your next unforgettable journey,one that begins at my desk and carries you all the way to the Danube and beyond.

Mom's 50th birthday Trip was a huge success!
Reviewed By Dana K. - Markham, ON | Traveled to Antigua & Barbuda ~ Caribbean
Trying to plan a chill retreat for my mom's 50th birthday in Antigua was no walk in the park, especially with budget constraints. Laura had to work some serious magic to keep us on track financially, which meant the planning process took a bit longer than expected, but she never gave up and in the end, my mom had an amazing time. Laura poured her heart into every detail, ensuring that trip was perfect. I will continue to contact her for any trip, big or small!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Trip to Italy
Reviewed By Tony & Debbie - Toronto, ON | Traveled to Amalfi ~ Italy ~ Europe
Using Laura's services for our trip to Italy was invaluable, given our busy schedules and limited time for planning. She is passionate about what she does and is easy to communicate with. She took the reins with genuine concern, ensuring every detail was taken care of, including proactively providing alternative accommodation options when our first choice was unavailable. We will definitely be having her plan our next vacation. Thanks Laura!

Iceland First-Timers
Reviewed By Ashar A. - Toronto, Ontario | Traveled to Iceland ~ Europe
With just one week to see the country, Laura was able to create an awesome trip to Iceland for us first time visitors. She ensured we explored Reykjavik, the Golden Circle, Thingvellir National Park, South Shore and more to the fullest. From vibrant streets to beautiful natural wonders like waterfalls and glaciers, every moment was magical. We're already planning to book with Laura again for the Northern Lights season - she's truly exceptional and knows her stuff. If you're considering a trip to Iceland, Laura is the one to call!

Laura nailed our trip to the Bahamas! Despite our tendency to stay on the resort, her off resort recommendations were a game changer. She ensured we had a blast exploring and addressed safety concerns. From securing a stunning resort to curating memorable activities, every detail was top-notch, making our getaway one for the books. If you're planning a trip with your girlfriends, Laura is the ultimate choice. Five stars all around!
