Ocean and River Cruise Travel Specialist
St. Petersburg, Russia
I have been an avid traveller for many years. The travel bug took hold very early in my adult life following a tour to Europe in high school, and it simply won't let go.....thank goodness! Because of that, I have made European travel one of my specialties. I believe that an important part of understanding the global society is the ability to learn about other cultures and ways of life, so I thoroughly enjoy crafting complex itineraries and opening the "old world" to others.
In addition to European travel, I truly love "all things cruise" and hope to share that love with my clients. I have been on multiple cruises with different cruise lines to itineraries such as Alaska, the Eastern and Western Caribbean, the Baltic Sea, and a Transatlantic voyage. Cruises are a beautiful and accessible way to experience the world...travelling in your own floating hotel.
One of my core values is education. In addition to being an Ocean and River Cruise Travel Specialist, I have also been an educator/administrator in public schools for the past27 years. These dual aspects of my life merge to make me uniquely qualified to understand the possible constraints of travel during school vacations.
Allow me to help make your vacation dreams a reality!

So far the best trip of our lives!!!
Reviewed By Jeff - Colorado Springs | Traveled to Greece ~ Europe
Sam is the BEST!She is personable, friendly and detail oriented.
From the start to finish she made our trip amazing!
We started with the location then added how to get there and back. We then figured out what to do in the different stops, where to eat, special attractions, and where to sleep. She was very intuitive and insightful in her recommendations.
She thought of things I didn't and made our trip SPECTACULAR and carefree.
Everything was organized and correct.
She printed everything out for us and made sure we had everything we needed to ensure that there would be no problems.
There were NO issues and it was a breeze to travel due to her diligence and planning!
She is already helping with the next trip.
She IS my travel agent and should be yours!!!
Thanks Sam!!!

Samantha Davis, Travel Czar
Reviewed By The Schenks - Colorado Springs | Traveled to Portland ~ Oregon ~ USA
Sam is always thinking ahead for us and reminding us to make plans sooner rather than later. She prompts us to get going and is very attentive to the various schedules our family has for future travel. Flights, hotels, bus reservations, car reservations are some of the services she provides for us and we couldn't be happier with her advice and assistance.

Trip of a Lifetime!
Reviewed By JoeG - Colorado Springs, Colorado | Traveled to Ireland ~ Europe
The stress of planning an international trip can be overwhelming. Last fall my family and I traveled to Ireland to visit my oldest daughter. My daughter had been studying abroad and been away from the United States for 4 months. We had initially started the planning process and soon realized with this being our first trip out of the country we were in over our heads. It was challenging to navigate the varied aspects of International travel. Lucky for us early in the process we were guided to meet with Samantha Davis.Samantha put as at ease immediately. Her professionalism and understanding literally made the planning stage positive and exciting. She covered every aspect of our trip from beginning to end. We lodged in multiple cities and in every instance the accommodations were impeccable. She provided us with detailed itineraries and options to make our journey and stay memorable. We had the trip of a lifetime! I would highly recommend Samantha to plan your trip of a lifetime!

Travel Agent Extraordinaire
Reviewed By Kimmy - Colorado Springs, CO | Traveled to Greece ~ Europe
Working with Samantha Davis has been the best move EVER and encouraged my travel bug! I know I can go anywhere in the world and have an incredible and seamless trip! This is because Sam has arranged everything, taken time to explain and make sure I'm comfortable, will answer any and all questions, and has most likely been there too, and can give pointers and suggestions! She can help with small local trips to across the globe, and all details will be handled flawlessly! I will never travel without her expertise again.

A Very Memorable Experience
Reviewed By Veronica - Colorado Springs, Colorado | Traveled to Ireland ~ Europe
My husband and I worked with Sam to create the first week of our Honeymoon. I won't lie and say it was the best week of our lives (driving in Ireland is hard!), but that had absolutely nothing to do with how fabulous Sam is. Sam worked incredibly hard to put together a wonderful experience based on some ideas I gave her initially. She found exactly what we had asked for, which was amazing because my ideas were scattered and eclectic. When things went south for us (again, not at all related to Sam), she was there to help us through. Honestly, I don't know what we would have done without her! I highly recommend working with her. I know we will again in the future!

Five star experience, work with Samantha
Reviewed By Stan and R. Maureen Myers - Washington, PA | Traveled to Antarctica
Samantha has often gone well beyond what one might expect from a travel agent and has never failed to deliver on a promise. She has battled tour providers and airlines and has always, without exception, come up with solutions which suited our needs perfectly. We trust her completely to put our needs first and to see that those needs are fulfilled.

Exceptional service!
Reviewed By Dessa - Colorado Springs, CO | Traveled to Disneyland ~ California ~ USA
We love working with Sam! She is always diligent in her responses and does the research you ask for! Most of our correspondence is via e-mail, and it’s so easy to make payments with her. Makes good recommendations also. We’ve only booked Disney trips with her and all have gone off with no issues! One trip we took we had an airline issue and she sat on the phone with Disney because we were going to miss a reservation. She did all she could to help me out! We will always use Sam!

Samantha was great with communication every step of the way. She answered emails quickly and called when necessary.

Hawaiian Dream Vacation by Sam Davis
Reviewed By Beth - Colorado Springs, CO | Traveled to Honolulu, Oahu ~ Hawaii ~ USA
Sam was very professional and friendly to work with. She answered emails and calls in a very timely manner. The portal she provides is a wonderful way to book your excursions. Our hotel in Honolulu was in the perfect location and it was beautiful. Our flights were booked and secured way ahead of time and we had no issues. Our car rental was very easy and all set up! We truly did have the best family trip of our lives as our son got engaged and we enjoyed Hawaii 's beauty and history to its fullest.
