River/Ocean Cruise, European, Caribbean Specialist

I am a 40+ year travel expert holding the important CTC (Certified Travel Counselor) degree. My thesis – CRUISING! I have visited over 100 countries on six continents, some by land and some by sea. I cruised both rivers and oceans all over the world on large ships and small ships. With river cruises, you can travel the highways of Europe. I have inspected many ships and personally know executives of a great number of cruise lines – as well as managers and concierges of hotels worldwide. I hold DS (Destination Specialist) status for Europe and Caribbean plus other courses for a variety of destinations (NEWEST Aussie Specialist!) and ocean and river cruise lines. Oct 2024..attended G'Day Australia where only 44 US Travel Advisors were accepted for this special event!  Some suppliers are now doing private or small group tours. My sales qualified for Abercrombie & Kent's 100 Club.  My strengths: experience, courtesy, knowledge, attention to detail and going well beyond the expected. Many repeat clients refer their friends who refer others. I have countless happy clients across the country and across pond whom I have never met. I work with groups of one or more, honeymoons, multi-generational travel, incentives, traveling by plane, trains, ships to the places near and far. I am trained to handle complex high-end FIT (Foreign Individual Travel) arrangements to a great number of countries of Europe, Asia, and Australia.. I have visited most countries and personally inspected hundreds of hotels. If you want to travel with others, try an escorted tour. I have lived in London, southwest France, and Vienna. I adore Europe at all times of the year. Egypt was a bucket list trip that I loved Sept 2019!!  I have been to many destination in  Southeast Asia too!Chosen by Singapore Tourist Board for my itinerary and was invited to visit Singapore for the 6th time with them! Met hundreds of suppliers on my recent trip to AUSTRALIA! Interested in some place closer to home? Hawaii, Caribbean, Costa Rica, or Mexico, I can assist with these destinations too.
