Ocean and River Cruise Specialist

Travel has always been a love of mine. From the time I graduated from university and spent six weeks in Europe I knew that I wanted to be a travel agent. However I took a detour for a number of years and started my “travel” career in 1997.

River Cruise Expert

I have been in the cruise business now for 24 years. I probably took my first River Cruise in 1999, long before most people had even heard of one, and long before many of the well known cruise lines of today were in business. The ships have changed so much from then. They now offer many of the amenities the larger cruise ships offer but on a more streamlined basis. Staterooms and bathrooms are much larger now and more comfortable. The bathroom on my first river cruise wasn't much bigger than a 2 door closet: Toilet, Sink and a very small shower. Now they are made of luxury marble and some feature bathtubs. Many ships offer specialty dining rooms, libraries, swimming pools, hot tubs, balconies, suites, spas and large lounges. I have cruised with most of the major river cruise lines: Viking, Uniworld, AmaWaterways, Avalon and a couple no longer sailing. It is a great way to visit the interior of Europe where the ocean ships cannot get to. They also have several types of themed cruises - Wine cruise and Christmas Markets being the most popular. Let's plan one of these exciting cruises together.

Nobody does it better!
I've been working solely with Rosemary since my wife and I took our first cruise almost 15 years ago. In that time she has helped plan 9 or 10 cruises in numerous locales (including Europe, North America, Egypt and Asia) as well as provide other miscellaneous travel advice and recommendations. She has worked with my wife and me to determine our likes and desires and has consistently come up with recommendations that always leave us feeling like we've been well cared for. The odd time an issue has arisen while travelling she has quickly risen to the occasion to take care of it to our satisfaction. Over the years Rosemary has become a real friend in addition to a travel agent and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a truly great travel agent.

A Great Travel Agent
I have dealt with Rosemary for many years, and she knows my preferences and needs. Whether the trip is a long cruise or a short flight, Rosemary provides the information and options that I need, and also follows up after the trip to make sure everything went smoothly. I would highly recommend her to others.

Rome, Sorrento - A 14 day trip to Italy
Rosemary, was professional, accurate, informative and extremely knowledgeable. We had questions while we were on the trip, and she responded in a timely manner. She was spectacular.
