The 3 Steps between “hello” and “welcome aboard!”
-ONE-
Initial Planning Call
We’ll connect over phone or video call to discover the experiences you’re looking to have on your river journey. We’ll make some recommendations and steer you away from plans that you may regret later. At the end of our call, we’ll be able to match you to the river and lines that best match your travel style.
-TWO-
Research & Proposal
We’re hard at work, in coordination with our river line partners, building options for your consideration. Proposal presentation is important and we’ll prepare an “apples-to-apples” walk-thru of pricing, itineraries, and ships. We’ll answer questions and add options as needed until we’ve found the match.
-THREE-
Bon Voyage!
By the time you board your international flight, we will have worked thru every detail, planned exhaustively, and prepared for you to simply enjoy your river cruise vacation. Should an unforseen detour arrive during your trip, we’re but a phone call away to troubleshoot.

More About Me
I have always had a passion to travel and experience the new and the different. I traveled internationally for the first time in 1996 and have perpetually had a trip on the calendar ever since.
In 2016, I decided to turn a passion into a profession. I traded Corporate suites in the Fortune-500 space for Luxury Suites in the world’s vacation hotspots… leaving Corporate America to build incredible vacations for my clients.
If you follow me on social media, you know I am frequently off exploring new destinations, often with my wife or one of our 4 kids in tow. When not in the air or on a ship, we call Charleston, SC home.
I’d love to get to know you and talk about an upcoming River Cruise. Grab a spot at this link.
What my clients say..
Nancy was looking for
…a last minute sailing in Europe to celebrate a recent milestone with her Husband. They had traveled through mainline Europe and Spain and wanted something new and immersive to inspire.
We planned
…a 7-night sailing with one of our river line partners through Portugal’s Douro valley, followed by a 3-night visit to Lisbon. They’d experience terraced hillsides, quaint villages, acres of ripe vineyards, cutting-edge cuisine, and thriving art scenes.
After their trip, they said
Best cruise ever! Matt was organized and attentive to every detail. His communication is timely and he covers everything with expertise. Would highly recommend and we will be using his services again! I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
