STEPS TO YOUR DREAM CRUISE
Dave works on itineraries up to two+ years in advance because early bookers get the best travel opportunities, the best cabins, and have the luxury of time to plan those special moments. It all starts here. Let's start planning.
STEP 1

STEP 2
Which Insurance Plan Is Right For You?
Once your cabin is secure the next crucial step is to discuss your travel insurance needs and whether the cruise line's protection and or waiver programs are right for you.
Insurance is absolutely necessary, but the provider's program is not always the right fit for everyone depending on where you live, the journey you pick, and other factors. I will help you sort thru the noise and get this important topic sorted safely.
No one should leave home without travel insurance and I help you figure out your optimum plan.
STEP 3
What To Do Before and After Your Cruise?
Now comes my favorite part: working out the fine details and adding custom experiences to suit your vacation wish list.
For some people the cruise line's land packages before and after the cruise are perfect complements to their vacation. Others like to do their own thing and some like a combination of both.
This is where my inside tips and local knowledge are your greatest asset and will help you choose the absolute best ways to start and end your river cruise journey.
