Ama & Viking rafted together in Basel
A river cruise is the ideal way to immerse yourself with the comfort of seeing a country, landscape, or city from a small floating hotel. You’ll explore calm waterways, gliding past beautiful and historic sites. You’ll share the river with commercial ships as they move commerce to their next port. An interesting mode of transport to witness at sea level.
The real attraction of these cruises is:
- The delightfully slow and easy mode of travel shared with only 150-180 guests
- Casual atmosphere and accessibility on board and ashore
- Easy access to port attractions allowing instant cultural immersion
- All-inclusive value such as complimentary shore tours and select beverages
My top tips in selecting a river cruise:
Focus on what you’d like to see and do.
Tell me your preferred destination highlights and I’ll help you select the right itinerary
How do you like to travel?
I’ll help you select the right cruise company.
What would you like to do ashore?
Walking tours, bicycling tours, cultural immersion or more?
Let me know and I’ll help you book the right River Cruise!

Another World Cruise
Reviewed By Barbara - Pacific Palisades, CA | Traveled to Japan ~ East and Southeast Asia
I don't remember how many years Teresa has been my agent. I am very happy to have her as my agent. She has been very good at handling the many emails I send her and taking care of the bookings we make for our cruises with Holland America. We usually book our cruises on the ship and then Teresa takes it from there to make sure we receive our invoices from HAL and Cruise Specialists. She also handles the payments we make for our cruises and sends us updated invoices so we can keep track of our balance due. I not only consider her my agent, but also my friend.

Something different for us
Reviewed By Utahborn - Loveland, Colorado | Traveled to Tokyo | Japan | East and Southeast Asia
The cruise was on Viking yet the ship is Chinese owned. This created many problems for us. On problem was that the ship used Chinese internet and my android phone was therefore useless. No text, email or browsing. Since this was our first Viking we were unaware of losing our expected transfer airport to cruise terminal. This led to some significant expense and difficulty.
Teresa Skeim responded
"Oh dear, I am so very sorry, about internet, we will pass this along to Viking Guest Relations, as soon as I get a reply, we shall pass it along! We sincerely, appreciate you, both for traveling with us! Teresa "

With Teresa's expertise we were able to seamlessly link an ocean voyage together with a river cruise with Amesterdam/Rotterdam as the points the two trips had in common. Teresa assisted us with all the details, even suggesting hotels for a couple of nights that we didn't book with the cruise lines. It was a fantastic trip -- as they all are with Teresa's assistance.

Great European River Cruise
Reviewed By Bradd - Vancouver WA | Traveled to Budapest | Hungary | Europe
A couple of recommendations that Teresa made were great!! Get near the middle of the ship (Viking River ship, we were the closest room to the center and all events, strm 301) and get a 3rd level (top) room. With all of the locks that you go through in 15 days (67 of them) the top floor has the best view and is blocked visually the least. Note: The Viking crew said that about 40% of their 15 day river cruises get bused around low water levels to another ship, so go when the water levels have highest chance of high. Wonderful Crew and fun ship. Limited activities on the ship including 5 straight days when "Sun Deck" (top) is closed due to low bridges.

Expert Advice for Our First World Cruise
Reviewed By Shelly - Cherryvale, KS | Traveled to World Cruise ~ Other
Teresa is WONDERFUL! She remembers little details about our travel arrangements, wishes, etc. She was very helpful as we booked and planned for our first world cruise. We thought we would be booking an inside cabin as the most economical choice. Teresa helped us analyze all the early booking incentives, enabling us to book an outside cabin as the best deal. Later, she helped us upgrade to a balcony and her prompt service allowed us to snag an amazing location. We couldn't have booked and planned this trip without her!
