About Me

Europe | River Cruises | All-Inclusives

I specialize in European river cruises, multi-country European itineraries, and all-inclusive resort getaways — with a focus on milestone celebrations like honeymoons, babymoons, and anniversaries. My clients receive comprehensive travel packets with every detail mapped out: logistics, timing, what to expect, and what to pack. I believe travel should feel effortless from the moment you book until the moment you're home. I work with trusted partners including Viking, Sceptre, and Kensington Tours to craft thoughtful, well-researched itineraries tailored to each traveler. Whether it's a romantic river cruise through Europe, a multi-city adventure, or a relaxing beach escape, I handle the details so you can focus on the experience. Thorough. Organized. Honest. That's how I work.

Anniversary Ireland
Reviewed By Anniversary - States | Traveled to Ireland | Europe
Shannon was amazing to work with! We wanted to go all out for our Ireland anniversary getaway but had no idea where to even begin. The price was a bit of a shock at first, but once Shannon explained everything that comes with a Kensington experience, it was so worth the investment. She was responsive and reassuring every step of the way — we couldn't have asked for a better trip
✓ I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
