I have been with Cruise and Travel Specialists since our opening in 2002. My blend of expertise and enthusiasm for travel are evident from our first interaction. Because of my longtime industry knowledge and focus to detail, I ensure my clients experience vacations of a lifetime! I have first-hand experience and have earned certifications from all the major ocean and river cruise lines.

I specialize in both group and individual travel. Whether your interests include a romantic river cruise down the Rhine, experiencing an amazing honeymoon in the Caribbean or Tahiti, enjoying a multi-generational family cruise during the summer or solo travel, I will exceed your vacation dreams!

Maria’s love for travel shines though as she plans your trip as if she was going herself. She has years of experience in the travel business and has been to most places you want to go. Maria is our California Rep but no matter where you live, Maria can help plan your next river cruise adventure. Maria and Beth traveled to Cambodia and Vietnam in Sept. 2012 and cruised down the Mekong River on AMA Waterways. Maria has also done the Tulip Time Cruise on Uniworld. She’s been all over Europe so there is little she doesn’t know.

Linda recently retired from the Federal Court’s after 30 years but during that time she was working part time for Beth. After she retired at such a young age, she went to work for Beth full time planning trips for people. She’s been to Europe twice in the past year spending around 2 months exploring all the countries. Linda is very detail oriented and would love to help you with your river cruise vacation.
