Imagine being in Venice as fireworks light up the lagoon during one of the city’s most beloved celebrations. 🇮🇹✨

In 2027 and 2028, select Uniworld sailings give you the opportunity to experience Festa del Redentore, a special Venetian tradition known for its festive atmosphere and spectacular fireworks over the water. 🎆

Even better? Bella Vista Travel Collection has access to special pricing starting at $2,749 per person on select departures.

One of the things I love about Uniworld is how much is already included in your river cruise experience:
✨ Beautiful, one-of-a-kind accommodations
🍷 Premium wines, spirits and beverages
🍽️ Exceptional onboard dining
🗺️ Included excursions and experiences
💰 Onboard gratuities
📶 Wi-Fi
…and much more.

Venice is extraordinary any time of year, but experiencing it during Festa del Redentore makes this itinerary especially memorable.

I’ve been planning trips for family and friends for many years, so building a travel agency around something I’ve always loved felt pretty natural.

I love helping clients plan river cruises, luxury ocean travel, and boutique European vacations without all the research and logistics falling on them.

Thinking about traveling in 2027?

Let’s talk through where you want to go, how you want the trip to feel, and what kind of experiences would make it wonderful for you.

I work with travelers throughout Virginia and across the United States.

Comment ME and I’ll send you my consultation link.

Your calendar may be packed. Your vacation doesn’t have to be.

If you love cruising but would happily leave the crowds behind, small ship cruising may be exactly what you’re looking for.

Tauck’s 2027 small ship journeys sail with fewer than 200 guests, visiting smaller ports and beautiful destinations with the details thoughtfully handled for you.

Take a look:

Have you ever had something go wrong on a vacation and suddenly realized you had no idea who to call?

Flights get canceled, weather changes itineraries, hotels overbooked, cruise lines adjust schedules... Sometimes the fine print becomes very important, very quickly.

That is one of the biggest reasons who you book with matters.

When I plan travel for my clients, I am not simply making a reservation. I am paying attention to the supplier, the cancellation terms, the change policies, and what options may be available if something does not go according to plan. And lately I've been working overtime doing just that due to the river conditions affecting river cruises in Europe.

If there is a problem, you don't want to be sitting alone trying to figure out who to call or what your options are. I help make the calls and ask the questions. I advocate for you and help you work through the next step. I truly am here for you!

Have you ever had a trip go sideways and wished you had someone in your corner?
