About Me

Luxury River, Small Ship & Expedition Travel

I design immersive, thoughtfully curated travel experiences for clients who want more than a standard vacation. While I specialize in luxury and experiential travel—particularly river cruising, small ship cruising, and expedition-style journeys—I plan travel of all kinds, always matching the itinerary to the traveler rather than the other way around.My approach is shaped by extensive firsthand travel throughout Europe, North Africa, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas, including multiple river cruises and culturally focused journeys. This on-the-ground experience enables me to provide informed guidance, realistic comparisons, and thoughtful recommendations that go beyond what you’ll find online.I take time to understand each client’s travel style, interests, and priorities, then design a customized plan that balances comfort, access, and meaningful experiences. From air and hotel bookings to cruises, tours, and logistics, I handle the details so travel feels seamless and well-supported. Whether you’re planning a European river cruise, a small ship or expedition voyage, or a completely different type of journey, my goal is the same: to create a well-matched, memorable experience that reflects how you want to travel.

Clients value my calm, thoughtful planning style and the confidence that comes from working with someone who has extensive firsthand travel experience. I’m known for listening carefully, asking the right questions, and presenting well-matched options so planning feels transparent and manageable, not overwhelming. From our first conversation through your return home, I provide proactive communication, careful coordination, and ongoing support. I work closely with trusted cruise lines, tour operators, and destination partners worldwide to ensure each trip is well-designed, well-supported, and easy to travel with confidence.

worry-free family vacation
Reviewed By happytraveler - Atlanta, GA | Traveled to Orlando | Florida | USA
Rachel helped me plan our family trip to Orlando for Disney World and Universal, and booked our hotels. Knowing she could help with any snags was priceless. I especially appreciated her assistance with getting a dining reservation I really wanted. Thank you Rachel!
Rachel Kauffman responded
"I'm so glad that reservation came through - those can be surprisingly hard to snag, especially during busy seasons! Knowing you felt supported through all the planning (and the inevitable little snags!) means everything to me. Hope your family had the most maigal time. Can't wait to help you plan the next adventure!"

Epic girls trip!
Reviewed By Melmar19 - Indiana | Traveled to Prague | Czech Republic | Europe
Rachel put together a great girls trip for the European Christmas Markets for a group of my friends. We did a river cruise but spent a few days in Prague and Budapest before/after the cruise. Rachel selected excellent accommodations that were close to all of the big tourist hot spots. In Prague, she organized a perfect walking tour, a restaurant with local cuisine, and plenty of free time with recommendations. In Budapest, she helped us wrap up our 2 week trip with time at the local baths, an evening at the opera, and a final dinner at a Michelin star restaurant. It was a great trip filled with laughter and adventure! I’m also grateful she recommended purchasing travel insurance because my luggage was lost for 4 days when we arrived in Europe. Rachel assisted with locating my luggage and ensuring my insurance claim was submitted for reimbursement. Overall, we were so pleased with all of the planning and assistance Rachel provided on this trip and we’re looking forward to our next adventure!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
