I love to travel and have been very fortunate to have traveled to many wonderful and interesting destinations on both land and cruise vacations. What I love just as much as traveling is assisting others to create their own memories.
The more parts of the world I experience, the better I am able to guide my clients in creating the perfect vacation. As well, I am able to learn from the experiences of my clients since I can't do it all myself.
My husband, Jim and I have visited, several southern destinations in Cuba, Dominican Republic, Mexico, St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands and Panama. We are scuba divers and have dove in most of these destinations. We have experienced Israel, Turkey and Ireland on land tours. in 2018 we can add our scuba diving trip to Bonaire, one of the best diving destinations in the world.
One of my favorite adventures is river cruising. We have been fortunate to experience with Uniworld River Cruises - Castles on the Rhine; Portugal, Lisbon and the Douro Valley; Eastern European Explorer and Paris and Normandy; the new Uniworld Itinerary in Bordeaux, France, plus the Burgundy and Provence. What an amazing way to see Europe!
I have been privileged to sail with Carnival, Princess on the Caribbean & the Ruby, Norwegian on the Star, the Epic and the Breakaway, Holland America and Royal Caribbean that included itineraries in the Caribbean, Mexico, Canada & New England and the Mediterranean. We sailed on Royal Caribbean’s Allure of the Seas in November 2013 for my National Conference. We were WOWED! In February 2014 we sailed on the Azamara Quest on a roundtrip Los Angeles itinerary. This cruise experience was exceptional! We loved the ship with only 690 people on board and thoroughly enjoyed the all inclusiveness AND the Azamazing Evening.
April 2014 - My husband and I sailed on the Norwegian Breakaway out of New York City. Loved sailing out of New York City and enjoyed the Breakaway. Entertainment was fantastic and the food was definitely appetizing. This ship carries 4,500 people. There is so much to do and see. You will never be bored while sailing on any of Norwegians new mega ships!
October 18 to November 2, 2014 - we sailed 2 of Uniworld River cruise ships in Bordeaux and then followed by the Burgundy & Provence itinerary
September 2015 - we spent 3 nights in Rome and then set sail aboard Oceania's Marina. I had a small group of clients travelling with me. The itinerary was amazing!
June 2016 We sailed on the Star Princess on a South bound Alaskan Itinerary. What a spectacular itinerary. I hear so many saying "I am going to wait until I am older" Don't wait!!! Do this when you have the energy and the ability to experience Alaska.
March 2017 we cruised around Cuba on the Celestial Crystal. What an amazing experience, with this extraordinary cruise line. I love Cuba even more now. Ask me anything about Cuba!
May 2018 we traveled to Portofino, Italy to cat sit in a spectacular bed and breakfast set in the mountains in a national park. http://www.terrerosseportofino.it
My passion is to work with people to create spectacular vacation experiences. I especially enjoy assisting with group travel. Whatever the celebration may be; a milestone birthday or anniversary; a family reunion, friends’ getaway and my personal favorite destination weddings.
I have been privileged to help with many weddings over the last 10 years, destination and weddings at sea. This is a blog from the wedding photographer for my latest Wedding At Sea on the Celebrity Silhouette. http://simplyweddingphoto.blogspot.ca/2017/03/brock-leannes-wedding-at-sea-with.html

Every time we travel we contact Karen to make our arrangements and we have never been let down. Karen is professional and always finds the best options and prices and I know that if I have trouble while away I have someone to take care of things for me. Karen travels extensively so she has lots of experience. When I travel somewhere she hasn't been she does a thorough job of learning about the destination and making the best arrangements for transfers, transportation and other details. We were very pleased with her work to organize us and our friends for our week at a villa in Tuscany followed by a one week riverboat cruise on the Danube. I guess I can say that Karen has helped us create memories for a lifetime. I have recommended Karen to many friends and family members and will continue to do so. Angela Vieth
