About Me

Imagine strolling along the winding cobble-stoned streets of Arles, France, stopping to enjoy a delicious cappuccino  as you and your companion think about what’s next on your list of fabulous sights. Day dream about attending your own private Mozart concert in Vienna.  Fantasize about your exclusive, guided tour through Budapest. Consider the fact that you did not have to organize one single portion of your memorable journey! Now, imagine returning to your luxurious river cruise ship, stepping out onto your private balcony to enjoy a glass of the local wine and thinking — “Life is great!” That's how you'll feel when I work closely with you to arrange every single little detail, and ultimately ensuring your river cruise vacation is absolutely perfect, no matter what your destination or travel budget. My focus is on European river cruise vacations.  

 I am like your own personal travel planner and make vacation planning easy by eliminating all of the footwork you would otherwise have to do.  You shouldn't get stressed planning it!  I will always be able to save your valuable time and energy, because I have the experience and knowledge of all the offers available. That knowledge enables me to find exactly what you desire within seconds, making the entire experience incredibly stress-free!

River cruising is the best way to travel through many of the world’s most fascinating places. It is all about the destinations, but all river cruise products are not “one size fits all”.  I can help break that down for you.

Paris, Vienna, Nuremburg…because so many cities and towns developed along waterways, they were literally made to be accessible by river. Some of these cities are just not available to ocean cruisers, and bus passengers spend precious hours on the highway, checking in and out of hotels. River cruising brings you more of these destinations than you could see any other way. River cruising has enjoyed a significant increase in popularity in the past few years. Travelers have realized that it is a very efficient and affordable way to see the best of the area where they are traveling. Each region and itinerary is different and offers exciting and intriguing adventures. In central Europe, Rhine River cruises sail past stately castles, terraced vineyards and picturesque old towns. Passengers on Danube River cruises spend time in some of Europe's most intriguing Old World cities, like Vienna and Budapest. Cruises of the Mosel River meander through the German region famous for Riesling wines, while Elbe cruises travel through Germany and the Czech Republic on a route characterized by towering cliffs, Gothic fortifications and medieval villages. Explore France on a Seine River cruise between Paris and the coast of Normandy and stop at Claude Monet's Giverny and the D-Day landing site at Omaha Beach. Saone River cruises offer opportunities to sample the wine and cuisine of Burgundy, while Rhone River cruises showcase the lovely Provence region. Experience the warmth and friendliness of Portugal on a Douro River cruise as you sail past charming villages, deep gorges and lush vineyards. 

When travelling, you learn how others live differently, speak differently, act differently and you come away with a better understanding of their culture, habits, life and it enriches you. Your world opens up and memories are made that will last a lifetime. Ten years down the road, you won’t remember how much the trip cost, but you’ll remember how it made you feel.

We are seeing the world with Deb's help!
Reviewed By Duey - Lenexa, KS | Traveled to Norway ~ Europe
I have been using Deb Mitchell since before her last name was Mitchell! She has been excellent in everything that I have asked for. She has probably done 15 - 20 cruises for me. I have recommended her to family and friends and they have always been very satisfied with her. Deb knows the travel business extremely well and has offered me many tips that have come in handy.

Deb MItchel - Outstanding, customer service.
Reviewed By Spiderman - Laurie, MO | Traveled to Mediterranean ~ At Sea ~ At Sea
We chose to communicate our Southern Mediterranean trip with Deb rather then the cruise line because we had seen from past experiences that Deb would take the role as our advocate rather then an 'order taker' from the cruise line.
There were several instances, primarily regarding our flights where Deb stepped up and supported us.

We LIKE Deb and Cruise Holidays!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    To start, this was one of the best river cruises I’ve taken. No detail was too small or overlooked.   I arrived in Cologne the day of the cruise (after trying to get there a day earlier)… Tauck had arranged for me to meet at the train station, and a few of us were whisked away by Mercedes private car to the ship. The staff quickly and efficientl...
