Ireland, Alaska, Ocean & River Cruising Specialist
Cruising
Throughout more than 36 years as a travel advisor in Cedar Rapids, my career has given me the great opportunity to explore some of the most fascinating places around the world. Of all of these unique destinations, one of my absolute favorite places to go is South America.
Each of my clients knows that I will not only provide my expertise to help guide them in creating their perfect vacation but also give them peace of mind that every detail of their trip will be taken care of. No matter what you’re interested in, we can work together to create a custom vacation tailored to fulfill all your travel needs.
Ocean and River Cruising
Traveling via cruising allows you to experience many destinations in one trip and only unpack once!
Ocean cruising is a different way on the water. There is an exciting atmosphere and many people to meet on the ships. There are cruises that are a great fit for couples, and other cruise lines that better fit families and I’m happy to share that with you as we work on your dream trip!
River Cruising opportunities are all-inclusive and intimate; different than a large ocean cruise ship. The sites on the Danube River from Budapest to Germany through Austria were amazing when I visited. I’d love to share my recommendations and expertise in these two areas of vacation on the water!

Visiting my sister in South America

Working with Lorey made traveling so much easier than if I had attempted to do it on my own. She was even able to coordinate my flights so my sister and I flew into the airports at the same time to make the most of our trip together. So responsive and wonderful to work with - thank you, Lorey!

Amazing Land and Sea trip to Alaska!
Reviewed By R & D - Cedar Rapids, IA | Traveled to Alaska ~ USA
Lorey was all about helping us create the ideal trip. She was quick to notify us when new promotions came available and was accurate and complete with all reservation details. Would definitely use her again for major travel planning. Not Lorey's fault, but be aware that there are multiple excursions that can (and should be) explored at both Denali National Park and McKinley State Park for the land portion of the trip. Somehow we missed this when doing our pre-trip excursion planning and booking. As a result we missed a few neat opportunities to see more of Alaska. The Princess materials and website spend all of their time detailing the ship experience and much less on the land excursions (after you get off the ship in Whittier). I think there was a brochure on the train where we could have booked something, but it was not well explained by the onsite Princess rep. Recommend doing your homework. Overall, very satisfied and had a great vacation!!

Lorey helped us plan our 5 year anniversary trip to Jamaica. After being provided a list of recommendations for that location, we decided on the Iberostar Rose Hall Suites. Lorey was great to work with. She answered all of our questions and made booking all of the vacation details a breeze. We plan on working with Lorey again in the future.

Lorey was very helpful. We met with Lorey 4 times prior to our trip. Each time she had more information for us. Her advice to what to take and not take, directions on where to 'check in' at the Jamaica airport etc. So much information! I will ask Lorey for help with future vacations!
