Years ago, traveling in luxury meant little more than fancy transportation and expensive hotels. The travel concierges of yesteryear were tasked with relatively basic expectations when it came to putting together itineraries for the elite. 

So little was expected, in fact, that their jobs were largely relinquished to online trip planning platforms. In fact, online travel sites became the norm for booking travel.  

Visit the delightful islands of Hawaiiwith personalized service and experiences.  Our On Location partners understand the islands and have connections needed to create an unforgettable Hawaiian vacation. 

Most important is we want to learn about your hobbies and interests so that we can help you choose the best island for you.  Each island is unique and has its own particular sights and attractions.  A quick recap:

• For culture and history lovers, visit Pearl Harbor in Oahu
• For adventure seekers, Maui is the ideal paradise
• For outdoor lovers, Kauai offers great opportunities to explore nature and beautiful scenery.
• For repeat Hawaiian visits, visit Hawaii Island for more views that take your breath away.
• There are many luaus on the islands, however, my favorite is a traditional Hawaiian luau and I recommend Old Lahaina Luau if in Maui, but there is one on each island. 

On location partners can share facts and information from a local perspective rather than a guide book.  We have access to extensive services, including:

All of the 2016 Africa programs offer the exhilirating thrill of a classic safari with the luxury of an AmaWaterways river cruise--a truly life changing experience.  Pair your 4-night wildlife cruise with one of four different, yet equally incredible land programs that take you to explore Africa's most amazing destinations.

It's another great way to make the most of your Hawaii vacation:  Tee off at the world's number 2 golf destination.  Hawaii has some exceptional courses open year-round featuring breathtaking sea and mountain views, lava formations, and surging water along rugged coastlines.  Watch out for the native Nene Geese, frequent visitors to many of the greens!  Not a golfer?  You can still join a group and head out to enjoy the action and spectacular settings. 

Convenience, Luxury, and most of all Making Memories to last a lifetime.

Making memories through vacation experiences with family and friends is priceless!!

You love the idea of exploring several countries on one visit, what better way than aboard a 5 star floating boutique hotel.   Most of the ships accommodate only 120-200 passengers, which allows for an intimate and relaxed atmosphere.

River cruises provide a unique approach to the "vacation experience".  Spend a few minutes explaining to your travel consultant what your hobbies and interest are and she can suggest the perfect river cruise vacation experience for you.  What appeals to me most is that you can immerse yourself in local culture through exclusive limited edition tours, and its offers many group benefits with a individual travel feel.  River cruises are great for groups, families, friends, special interest groups, church groups, etc.

Award-winning cuisine crafted by expert chefs and served in a variety of stylish dining venues--including the Chef's Table specialty restaurant.  In fact, you can find the chef in the local markets because the ingredients are farm to table in the area that you are visiting.  You may eat in the main dining room which accommodates all guests, but there are smaller alternative restaurants for a more casual experience.

Most everything is included (varies by cruise line), but typically beer and wine are included with lunch and dinner.  Some cruise lines also include excursions.      

On a river cruise, you enjoy the unique small towns within the countries you visit.  You won't need a tender or bus because the ship docks right where you want to be.  You can choose from optional small group tours with local tour guides or you can explore on your own.  Some cruise lines offer a self-guided GPS walking or biking tour.   There are also optional special activities that are planned at your destinations and local entertainment is brought on board to perform for the guests in the evenings.  Between all of the exciting tours, guests can indulge in outstanding onboard amenities like massages services and a fitness room.  Or sip on a glass of wine in the pool with a swim-up bar on the sun deck.  Imagine lounging in your bathing suits and cruising by centuries-old castles. 

River cruising is a relaxed and easy way to visit beautiful countries with family and friends.  The ease of getting from one city or country to another taking in riverside scenery from a spacious balcony stateroom is a rare treat any guests would love.   Enjoy luxurious accommodations , delicious food, and unique experiences and you only had to unpack once!  The hardest decision is which entree to try next because the staff is dedicated to exceeding expectations.  They want you to feel like part of the family.   It's so much more than a vacation, its a unique experience regardless how many times you cruise.

Please share if you know anyone that is ready to try river cruising.  As a travel consultant, I enjoy making your travel experience, as well as the planning, as easy as possible.
