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.

Great Agent
Reviewed By ahg29 - London | Traveled to Salzburg | Austria | Europe
Melanie is well versed as a travel agent. I don't always take cruises and she has helped me tremendously with other types of trips. She makes suggestions I have found to be helpful. Very attentive. I had a recent issue with train tickets in Salzburg and she responded right away. Melanie will take good care of you.

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.
Melanie Lisby responded
"Thank you so much, Michael & Peter! I can't wait for all your future adventures!"
✓ I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

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.
Melanie Lisby responded
"Thank you so much, Isabel! I can't wait for all the adventures yet to come!"
✓ I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
