River Cruise Specialist

I believe a vacation should not only be amazing, but also seamless and easy. Today so many river cruise lines, luxury cruise lines, and small group tour companies have put together top quality packages, with fantastic tour guides, and authentic cu...

With around 160 guests, river cruising is destination intensive, combining discovery and convenience, along with local entertainment, and fine food. Ocean Cruising varies from the smallest ships, in places like the Galapagos, and the Antarctic, to larger luxury vessels with only upwards of 500 guests visiting far flung places around the world. Entertainment can be lavish, or understated; top quality dining and service is the norm. Some cruise lines can be casual, while others still retain the suits after 6 requirement, there is a cruise line for every personality.

I am cruising specialist. I have been in the travel industry for 8 years, but I have been cruising for over 30 years. Consequently I have been on over 50 cruises, and on many cruise lines. Some of my favorite lines include Regent Seven Seas, and Silversea for ocean, and AMA Waterways, Avalon and Crystal for river cruising.

In Europe these is so much to see whether you choose a tour, a river cruise, or an ocean cruises. I have visited Europe more than a dozen times, and always spend several weeks doing both independent travel and cruising. Destinations like Italy, France, England, Holland, Germany, and Switzerland are some that I have visited multiple times. One of my favorite highlights is the tulips blooming at Keukenhof Gardens in Amsterdam.

I have visited most of the Caribbean islands, as well as Mexico multiple times. Each time either visiting on a different ocean cruise line, or staying and touring different all-inclusive resorts. This includes many of the Sandals Resorts, the AMR family of Dreams, Secrets, and Zoetry, and many other resorts.

The best thing about travel is that there is always somewhere new to discover. Having visited nearly 100 countries, there are always new places I find that I need to add to my bucket list. What is on yours?

Beautiful beach in Cancun, Mexico

When it comes to resorts nothing is easier than all inclusive. No need to go and look for restaurants, no need to worry about entertainment, or drinks, its all included.

Looking for non motorized water sports? Many resorts include that as well. You need only decide what you want to discover off the resort, and even then you will find a activity desk waiting to help you make the most of your vacation

Travel at its best!

Linda has done a remarkable job helping us plan and organize several large trips, with friends, since 2016. She is very helpful, organized, knowledgeable and efficient in trip planning! There are so many details that I would have overlooked, had I been doing the planning on my own. Linda covers all the bases and she works hard for her clients! During the 2020 pandemic, we had to cancel 2 trips. This obviously creates loss of income for a travel planner, yet Linda continued working hard for us to receive refunds and credits towards future travel! She didn’t benefit financially from her hard work, yet she continued advocating on our behalf! My husband and I are loyal clients and would HIGHLY recommend Linda Carter as an excellent travel agent!

Best Agent Ever

I have referred her to friends and family. My wife Janice and I booked several excellent trips with her, and since Janice died, my daughter and I have done some river cruises and one Azamara through her. I really appreciated that she put me onto Pandaw and AMA river cruises. They have been fantastic. She always works hard to get us good cabins, air connections, and all the perks possible.
She has arranged river cruises in Myanmar, Bordeaux region, Danube, Vietnam and Cambodia, and several Azamara cruises all over the world. I really cannot remember all the places she organized, but I do remember that every thing she did was done well.

Best. Agent. Ever.

Linda has been our travel agent for several cruises over the last few years. She always works hard to make sure we get the voyage we want at the best price possible. She patiently answers all of my questions and special requests (which have been many over the years!). She keeps in touch, and answers emails and phone calls immediately. Linda works dilligently to make sure you have the best travel experience . As an experienced traveler herself, she often has access to inside information to enhance your travel experience.
Over the years,Linda has always worked hard to earn and keep my business. She's the best.
