How I Travel

So Many Ways to See the World

There's no one right way to travel. Maybe your perfect vacation means waking up to a new port every morning, watching the scenery roll by from a train, cruising through the heart of Europe on a river, or settling in and exploring a destination from the ground up.

At Southland World Travel, I specialize in creating memorable vacations throughout the U.S. and around the world, with travel options to fit different interests, travel styles, and wish lists.

🌎 Ocean & Worldwide Cruises

Unpack once and let the world come to you! From the Caribbean and Alaska to the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, Asia and beyond, cruising makes it possible to experience multiple destinations in one vacation. Whether you're looking for a relaxing tropical getaway, a port-intensive adventure, or that once-in-a-lifetime voyage, I can help you find the cruise that fits.

🚢 Cruise Tours — The Best of Land & Sea

Why choose between a cruise and a land vacation when you can enjoy both? Cruise tours combine a traditional cruise with several days of exploration on land. They're especially popular in destinations such as Alaska, where you might pair your cruise with time in Denali and the interior, but cruise-and-land combinations are available in destinations around the world.

🚆 Rail Journeys

Sometimes getting there really is part of the adventure. Rail vacations offer a relaxed and scenic way to experience a destination, from spectacular mountain routes and national parks to journeys through Europe, Canada and other parts of the world. Choose a rail-focused vacation or incorporate train travel into a larger itinerary.

🚢 River Cruises

Travel right through the heart of a destination aboard a smaller, more intimate ship. River cruises bring you close to historic cities, charming villages, vineyards and cultural landmarks—often docking just steps from where you'll explore. Europe may be the best-known river cruise destination, but fascinating river journeys are available throughout the world.

🧱 Escorted & Independent Land Tours

Prefer to explore entirely on land? From professionally escorted tours where the details are taken care of for you to more independent itineraries with room to explore at your own pace, land vacations allow you to experience a destination in greater depth. They can include accommodations, transportation, sightseeing, local experiences and more.

Not Sure Which Type of Trip Is Right for You?

You don't need to have it all figured out before you contact me. Tell me where you'd love to go, what you'd love to experience, and how you like to travel—and I'll help you sort through the possibilities.

Whether it's by ship, river, rail, road—or a combination of them—your next adventure can start right here.

Kinds of Trips I Plan

Family Travel

From family vacations with the kids to multigenerational adventures with grandparents, parents and grandchildren, I’ll help find a trip with something for everyone—while taking the stress out of coordinating all the details.

Honeymoons

Your honeymoon should feel as special as the reason you’re taking it. Whether you picture a tropical escape, romantic cruise or bucket-list adventure, I’ll help create a honeymoon that reflects the two of you.

Group Travel

Travel is even better when you share it! Whether it’s friends, clubs, organizations, reunions or a group celebrating together, I can help coordinate the travel details and keep everyone on the same page.

Milestone Trips

Some moments deserve more than a party. Celebrate a special birthday, anniversary, retirement or other milestone with a trip you’ll always remember—whether it’s an intimate getaway for two or an adventure shared with family and friends.

Adventure Travel

For travelers who want to do more than just see a destination. From wildlife encounters and outdoor adventures to exploring far-off places and experiencing new cultures, I’ll help you find an adventure that matches your interests, comfort level and sense of discovery. 

Solo Travel

Traveling solo doesn’t have to mean traveling alone. Whether you enjoy the freedom of exploring independently or prefer joining a cruise or tour with opportunities to meet fellow travelers, I can help find options that make solo travel comfortable, enjoyable and rewarding.
