I have planned vacations for over 11 years, and have traveled extensively in 70+ countries. River Cruises and Luxury travel are my passions, with an emphasis on gastronomy, culture and wine. One of my favorite trips to plan is African Safaris, having escorted a group to Zimbabwe, Namibia and South Africa and planning a group to Tanzania in 2025. I have organized many group trips for corporations, individuals 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 (2000+).  With eight travel associates based in Florida, Connecticut, and Utah, we offer specialist advisors in expedition cruising, exotic destinations and family vacations.

Client Reviews

AmaWaterways River Cruise

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!
