Just back from Amsterdam exploring 16 ships during the ASTA River Cruise Expo. Get the inside scoop on all of my favorites - April 1 @ 7pm ET

03/20/2026

Currently on my flight home from Amsterdam after an amazing 11 days in the Netherlands and Belgium.

I spent last week at the ASTA River Cruise Expo learning more about 12 different river cruise lines (and what sets them apart), touring the 16 ships docked together in Amsterdam, networking, and gathering valuable information to help my clients plan the perfect river cruise vacation.

Following the conference, I boarded the Tauck MS Grace for my first river cruise along the Rhine and it’s been an incredible experience!

Traveling with Tauck lives up to its tagline of “travel beyond ordinary.” Each stop includes immersive experiences and lots of surprises and extras that you won’t find elsewhere.

A couple of the special extras provided by Tauck were a private painting workshop at the Royal Delft factory; and a private reception, dinner and viewing of the famous Girl With a Pearl Earring painting at the Mauritshuis Museum in The Hague.

I’ll be sharing more information about Tauck and my other favorite river cruise lines at my webinar on April 1 - hope you can join me.

⭐️ Comment “Webinar” and I’ll send you the link!

Did you know? I sell Viking cruises 🚢

You’ve probably seen the Viking commercials on TV.

Viking river cruises include so much in the fare: an excursion in every port, Wi-Fi, b**r and w**e with lunch and dinner, beautiful ships designed for destination-focused travel, and itineraries that take you right into the heart of Europe’s most iconic cities and towns.

The best part? When you book through a travel advisor, you still get all of that value — plus personalized planning, help choosing the right itinerary and stateroom, and someone to handle the details before, during, and after your trip.

If you’ve been dreaming about sailing the Rhine, Danube, or beyond, I’d love to help you plan the perfect Viking river cruise. ✨

Want to follow along as I tour 16 river cruise ships this week?

Head on over to my private Facebook group. Drop a comment below and I’ll send you the link.

Summer travel is in full swing and this month has been busy preparing lots of you for vacations around the world!

Earlier this month, my clients celebrated high school graduation with a mother-daughter trip to London and Paris! Seeing the sights, enjoying the ballet, and afternoon tea were the perfect touches for this special trip. Their London hotel was conveniently located near many attractions (including the Royal Ballet & Opera) and their adorable boutique property in Paris was situated on the Right Bank on a quiet neighborhood street, near shopping, dining and the Louvre!

Yesterday, another family arrived in Paris to begin their adventure in the City of Light. They are able to relax and spread out in the Family Connecting room at their quaint hotel, conveniently located between the Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe. Check out these incredible views from the Suite Eiffel! Today they are off to explore Disneyland Paris!

Next up: several families traveling next week in Europe, Hawaii and the Caribbean!
