I have planned vacations for over 10 years, and have traveled extensively in 65+ countries. River and Luxury cruising is my passion, with an emphasis on gastronomy, culture and wine. I have organized many group trips for corporations, special interest groups and fundraising organizations. What that means for my clients is that I can help plan the perfect trip for them based on past experience and the preferred supplier relationships I have cultivated over many years. What I offer is objectivity on what cruise or land vacation is the best fit for each and every client.

As an award-winning travel advisor, I have served on my parent company's Advisory Council and am a member of the Circle of Excellence -  the top 2% of all Dream Vacations franchisees (1750+).  With seven travel associates based in Connecticut, Florida, New York and Utah, we offer specialist advisors in expedition cruising, exotic destinations and family vacations.

Client Reviews

Elephant on Safari @ Chobe National Park, Botswana

Karen organized our 4-week tour in New Zealand & Australia for our family of six.  Every hotel, flight, transfer, tour and guide was amazing.  She provided an itinerary with reservation specifics, descriptions of tours and what to bring for travel without any hassles. We had a wonderful experience.

My wife and I have been on three of Karen and Frank's group trips (Rhone, Danube and the lower Danube).  Every travel detail is always carefully planned out. Their thoughtful care and attention to detail takes all of the stress out of international travel.

Karen was most helpful during our honeymoon planning. With the ever changing environment of the pandemic, Karen was there to help us every step along the way!
