All Inclusive & River Cruise Specialist
Helping my customers experience the world via Land, Ocean and River has been my passion for over 20 years. If it's dipping your toes into the crystal-clear waters of the Riviera Maya, climbing the Dunn’s River Falls in Jamaica or sipping wine in the Tuscan region of Italy I’m the one for you!
All-Inclusive Resort are a very relaxing way to enjoy your vacation without the concern of carry money around. Mexico and Caribbean destinations have the most All-Inclusive Resorts for families, multi-generational, couples, friends, groups and more. Using my own experiences and continually training, I can provide very valuable information as to which resort will most closely match what a customer has in mind. Relationships with my clients are invaluable to make your vacation amazing. Experiences make the best memories and stories you will share over and over!
River Cruising
Cliffs of Moher, Ireland. Beautiful!!!
How incredible would it be to wake up every day to a new port, and a new adventure, or waking up to the beauty of little villages and beautiful scenery passing by. This is what river cruising is all about, getting close to the beauty and splendor of the land, wherever you may be. You will find yourself enjoying the view from your cabin windows, or deck, or spending the day ashore exploring the village by foot or even bicycling. There is something for everyone, a river cruise is an adventure worth taking!
Let’s talk about your travel ideas and interest then work together to find the perfect river cruise for you!
My Areas of Expertise
Cabo San Lucas
I recently visited in Los Cabos, which is located at the tip of the Baja Peninsula, where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez.

The best trip ever!
Three years ago, our plans were interrupted by Hurricane Patricia, and we were unable to go to our destination of Puerto Vallarta. Within three days Cathy had made travel changes for all of us to go to Cancun to enjoy the week together. This wasn't our original destination, but the trip was fabulous!
No details were overlooked. All of our travel needs were met. All of our vacations have been absolutely perfect. I cannot think of anything Cathy could have done to make any of our trips any better. We have always been 100% satisfied with her service and suggestions.
When arranging our next trip, we will call Cathy firs
Best trip to Greece....EVER
I couldn't be happier with Cathy or the service that she gave us. My husband told me to be sure to keep her business card on file, he plans on having her find us a Machu Picchu trip in acouple years.
We love Cathy Watkins and consider her OUR PERSONAL travel agent now.

Lifetime of Memories ~ Negril, Jamaica
I personally knew Cathy so when booking our honeymoon it was a no-brainer to go through her and Travel Leaders. She made the process simple and most importantly convenient with our hectic lives while planning a wedding. We gave her our potential destinations and she did the rest. We ended up visiting Negril, Jamaica at the Couples Swept Away Resort. Hands down the best experience - thank you again Cathy for the lifetime of memories!
