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.

The best vacation ever!
Reviewed By BrianSmith - DuPage County, IL | Traveled to Ocho Rios | Jamaica | Caribbean
Shannon strongly suggested the Moon Palace resort; arranged for our extras, like swimming w/dolphins one day, stingrays and sharks the next day, a catamaran cruise, Dunn's River Falls climb, snorkeling and tubing. She was able to land us Club Mobay for both arrival and departure, when we had been told by another agent it was completely booked and impossible to obtain. She is so thoughtful and thorough, and truly cares. Highly recommend using Shannon to book your trips!
✓ I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

All Inclusive Fun
Reviewed By Lou44 - Carol Stream | Traveled to Jamaica | Caribbean
Jamaica is where it’s at! Best trip of my life and Shannon is the main reason behind it. From Club Mobay to excursions like the catamaran cruise, Dunn’s River Falls and snorkeling, and everything else, her recommendation of Palace was everything we needed to have a perfect time in Ocho Rios!

First cruise, many more to come!
Reviewed By Patty - Kenosha WI | Traveled to Germany | Europe
Shannon took care of everything from beginning to end. Met with us several times and answered millions of questions. She helped us choose the cruise and the cruise line. If she wasn’t sure she found answers to anything we wanted to know. She goes the extra mile to make sure no details were missed, and everything was very organized. We definitely will continue to use her services and have already recommended her to other people. Viking bends over backwards to make every aspect of the cruise experience excellent. I can’t say enough about the captain, crew, excursion guides, cruise ship and destinations where we docked. The food was phenomenal! We hated for the trip to end! Before we debarked we booked our next cruise through Shannon and Viking.
