About Me

Rivers have always been the life blood of cities around the world. We can help you take some time and see the world from a different perspective. See the world as it has been seen from ancient times. Arrive in the heart of these majestic ancient cities and explore where history began. You will get a classic view from the river in of Europe, Asia, Africa or North America. We will help you find the best value on the river of your dreams. I have done extensive training as well as taken river cruises and can help you find the right cruise on the right river to have an experience of a lifetime, Then I can help you do it again.

People ask what makes River Cruising so special, and I tell them to think of the best parts of each vacation they have been on and then put them together and you have a River cruise.

If you like the opportunity to visit different cities without packing and unpacking then a river cruise is perfect. You unpack once and the ship takes you into each city.

If you really like luxury all-inclusive resorts where you do not have to worry about how much each and everything costs then river cruises are perfect, With some lines being completely inclusive to some offering a few extras this is a vacation you can know upfront the cost and not get nickel and dime.

If you like the charm of staying in the old world European cities, then River Cruising is definitely right for you. The ship brings you right into the center of cities that have stood for 100s if not over 1000 years.

If you like learning about where you stay, the culture, the history, the people, then River Cruising is perfect. Most have daily discussions about the ports you will be visiting. Guests experts to tell you about the area, the culture or the people.

Kissing the Blarney Stone
Reviewed By Robertsonzoo - Narrows, VA | Traveled to Ireland ~ Europe
I found James when he replied to a comment I made on a public travel post. I had always been the one to do all of the research and booking for our trips. Now I have James to do it and I couldn't be happier. James finds the best deals, the quaintest locations, and the most fabulous venues for our trips. He searches until he finds exactly what fits our budget and our style. Our trip to Ireland will go down as one of the most fantastic trips we got to take with my parents who are in their 80s. My curmudgeon father absolutely loved the trip, so I know that James picked just the right tour for us.

James has planned many trips for us since I found him. 2020-2021 saw us cancelling many of our trips (all with James' help) - but 2022 is our great comeback and James is right in the middle of all of our planning. He is extremely responsive to messages and keeps in mind budgets and desires when sending options.

He is the best, you can't go wrong with his help.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    Saved Honeymoon
    Cannot say enough good things about Seas2day! Our honeymoon was everything I dreamed of and more! Not just the trip but we had some flight issues and I called him in the middle of my reception and had it resolved within minutes! I can’t begin to express how much I appreciated everything he did for us! He goes above and beyond for his clients!
