About Penny

I enjoy bringing my passion of travel to others. In fact, I often live vicariously through my work as I plan every trip as if it were my own. I am detail-oriented and make sure you're taken care of every step of the way. I am your travel advocate.

My current passion is river cruising - river cruising offers such a unique way to explore both the landscape and culture of a region at a relaxed pace. Of those I have experienced:

  • Paddlewheel riverboat cruises on the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers—twice! That’s a real slice of Americana, rich in history, music, and charm.
  • The “Christmas Markets on the Rhine” cruise was magical—those festive river towns in Germany and France are something out of a fairytale during the holidays.
  • A Danube River cruise took me through a range of vibrant Central European cities, from Germany to Vienna then Budapest.
  • And the “Tulip Time” cruise with AmaWaterways in Holland and Belgium—a springtime dream of blooms, windmills, and charming villages.

What does your dream vacation entail and how can I help you realize it?

TOP TRAVEL TIP

Planning your river cruise early is crucial. Book 12–18 Months Ahead, especially for peak seasons (spring tulips, summer, or Christmas markets) with suites and cabins with balconies go fast!

Penny is amazing. She is personable, knowledgeable, readily available, and often makes recommendations for options I hadn't considered. I wouldn't go anywhere other than Bon Voyage for my travel plans.
