Founder & Travel Advisor

Greetings! I'm Cindy Duquette Smith. I design memorable vacations for adults seeking adventure, relaxation and connection--whether traveling solo, with partners, or with friends. Specializing in European river cruises for inquisitive adults, I'm here to help you build a journey that blends leisure, learning, and a touch of whimsy. Today, more than ever, busy people deserve travel that is meaningful and relaxing. In my previous career as a college professor, I've honed my attention to the planning details that make all the difference. Thoughtfully attending to the experiences that are important to you sets my service apart from online travel sites and booking agents.


So, If you're always in charge of the logistics of your vacation and would love an alternative, I'm here to be your planning partner. This is your chance to be enthusiastic about travel, without getting mired in the logistics. I would love to help you craft a trip that meets your needs and exceeds your expectations!
