Your Journey Along the World’s Great Rivers

Taste of Bordeaux with AMAWaterways

River cruising has become one of my favorite ways to experience Europe, and my personal experiences on the rivers have given me an appreciation for just how special this style of travel can be.I’ve experienced the magic of a wine country journey through Bordeaux with AmaWaterways, discovering the incredible food, wine, history, and picturesque villages of southwestern France. I’ve also cruised the Rhine River with Avalon Waterways, where charming riverside towns, historic cities, and beautiful scenery unfolded around every bend.

What I love most about river cruising is the effortless way it brings together discovery and relaxation. You unpack just once, yet wake up somewhere new each day. Ships dock close to the heart of many destinations, making it easy to step ashore and immerse yourself in the local culture, cuisine, history, and traditions. And in between those experiences, there is something wonderfully relaxing about watching the scenery drift by from the comfort of your ship.

My firsthand experience allows me to help clients look beyond the brochure and find the river cruise that truly fits them. Choosing the right river, itinerary, cruise line, ship, cabin, and excursions can make a significant difference in the overall experience, and I enjoy helping my clients navigate those choices with confidence.

Whether you're dreaming of sipping wine among the vineyards of Bordeaux, exploring the historic villages and castles of the Rhine, or discovering another of Europe's beautiful waterways, I can help turn that dream into a thoughtfully planned journey.

After more than 30 years in the travel industry, I’ve learned that the most memorable trips are about far more than where you go. They’re about how you experience a destination, and the memories you bring home. River cruising offers an extraordinary opportunity to do exactly that, and I would love to help you experience it for yourself.
