Planning Your Perfect River Cruise Starts Here

HI, I'M KATE! YOUR PERSONAL RIVER CRUISE GIRL.

I help curious travelers plan beautiful, stress-free river cruises and land extensions that fit their interests, personality, pace, and style. From the moment we start planning, my goal is simple: make it easy for you to relax and fall in love with the journey.

Why Hire Me

As Your Travel Advisor?

I’m a certified partner with the world’s most trusted river cruise lines.

As a River Cruise expert, I’ve built lasting relationships with top river cruise lines like AmaWaterways, Viking, Uniworld, and Tauck, helping my clients enjoy unforgettable river cruises where every detail is perfectly planned with special offers they can’t find anywhere else.

I’ve helped hundreds of travelers plan their dream river cruises — from first-timers to seasoned river cruisers. My clients get a custom guide on the river cruise line they are sailing with as well as a guide on the river they are sailing on to make the most of their trip.

River Cruising Shouldn’t Feel Complicated

Let’s Simplify It Together

With so many ships, itineraries, and cruise lines to choose from, it’s easy to feel unsure where to start. Or worse yet, you might only know about one river cruise line when there are so many different kinds of river cruises.

Most first-time cruisers accidentally pick the wrong cruise because they don’t know all their options and end up feeling like they missed out. Your vacation shouldn’t feel like homework. It should feel like a long, deep exhale the moment you step onboard. And that’s exactly what I’m here to help you plan.

That’s exactly why I created a handy guide titled “Top 10 Mistakes to Avoid When Planning Your River Cruise (And How To Get It Right)”. It’s a resource that helps you understand what to expect, how to choose the right cruise for you, and what seasoned travelers wish they’d known before they sailed.

When you plan your river cruise with me, you’re not just getting a travel agent — you’re getting a river cruise expert who truly cares about your experience. I take the time to get to know you, your travel style, and what kind of memories you want to create. Then, together, we’ll design a journey that feels perfect for you.

Here’s what it’s like to work with me:

Personal Planning Sessions

We’ll chat one-on-one about your travel dreams and what matters most to you. Then I’ll compare the best river cruise lines and itineraries for you.

Expert Cruise Matching

I’ll help you choose the best river cruise, ocean cruise, or escorted tour that fits your style, pace, and budget.

Custom Comparison Tools

You’ll receive a detailed spreadsheet and a personal video walkthrough comparing your top cruise options. No guessing, no overwhelm, just clear, honest advice from someone who knows the inside scoop.

Exclusive Perks

Thanks to my connections with trusted suppliers, you’ll get access to special amenities and offers that can add value (and sometimes savings!) to your trip.

Personalized Tips & City Guide

You’ll also get insider insights and curated guides to help you make the most of every port and experience.

Behind-the-Scenes Flawlessness

Together with my team and trusted partners, I take care of every detail — flights, hotels, transfers, excursions, so everything flows smoothly from the moment you leave home.

Real, Ongoing Support

I don’t disappear once you book. I’m here before, during, and even after your trip, making sure you’re taken care of every step of the way.

Kate planned our river cruuise trip on AmaWaterways last year on the Danube and we're about to depart on another AmaWaterways trip she put together for us on the Siene. Can't wait! She and her husband Chris, who also participates and travels on some of their guided trips, are great to work with and lots of fun. Highly recommend!

Kate, Once again, you were the best. This is our second river cruise booked with you on AmaWaterways. I cannot thank you enough for your help in planning a wonderful trip. We had a group of 6 and the planning you provided was seamless. You were so helpful from the moment I contacted you. You listened carefully to our thoughts and answered all our questions. Having the app you provided was immensely helpful. The zoom calls prior to the trip were helpful. We are also happy you suggested AmaWaterways. The staff was top notch, and they did a fantastic job under difficult circumstances. Finally, we appreciated your communication with us during the trip. When questions arose, you responded quickly. We had a fabulous time. The trip would not have been such a success without your help. Maria and I have already told people about Kate’s World Travel. We cannot wait to work together again soon!

What a wonderful trip, everything was exactly as Kate had planned! It was wonderful to meet her assistant Noreen who had to actually travel 2 days from the Philippines to get there! The Nutcracker at the Opera house was Outstanding as were the fun and cold 🥶Christmas Markets The AMA Waterways boat was wonderful and we were the best decorated boat on the Danube. Food was outstanding as was our Pianist and entertainment that was brought on at different ports. And I can’t say enough about the wonderful crew!

We have returned from our Iconic Christmas Markets in Europe River Cruise, and I wanted to jump on here and share that the trip was amazing! Shout out to Kate and Noreen! I cannot just pick one part of our trip to choose; this trip lived up to everything we hoped for. It was magical, educational, and spiritual, and we met some of the best people whom I think we will be in touch with for a long time. Kate promised she would be there at every step of the way, and she was true to her world. She was kind enough to go beyond the already wonderful excursions and found us tickets to the Nutcracker while in Budapest, She danced and sang and kept us all informed of some of the special things to see and take part in. She went shopping with us and even had dinner with us, Kate is a full-service World Travel Agency. Kate, it was a pleasure to have met you and Noreen, Thank you for all the discounts and the advice, the Zoom meetings with the group were just a great added personal touch, we all felt like we knew each other before we got there. Thank you for putting up with all my questions and making Juan and I feel like we want to do this again!
