River Cruise Specialist
▶River Cruise Specialist
They say ocean cruising takes you to counties but river cruising takes you through them - and I heartily agree.
There is truly nothing like river cruising - and I'd love to help you experience it. Unpack once, see multiple countries, port intensive, incredible food and service.

Curated Cruise for a Couple
Reviewed By MGHartWriter - NYC, NY | Traveled to Bimini Islands | Bahamas | Caribbean
When my partner and I decided that we wanted to take our first cruise, we chose Melanie to help planning for us. As a couple, we are particular about a couple of things. We don’t find children relaxing. We enjoy Peter art nerdy, using with a little bit of clubbing and excitement. From these specifications, Melanie was able to pick a cruise line, Virgin voyages, that suited our needs perfectly allowing us to be set for the most successful of cruises for us.

An epic Alaskan adventure!
Reviewed By Isabel - Greenbelt, MD | Traveled to Alaska | USA
Melanie helped me plan an epic Alaskan adventure across 4 cities and a cruise. She helped me push my boundaries in all the right ways, adjusted when I made a request, and helped rebook what ended up being the best tour of my trip when my reservation was canceled. It was nice not to have to consider all the details.
