RMF Custom Travel

When I decided a few years ago to focus my travel business on cruises, I was a bit apprehensive, but I am so happy that I did! By putting all of my energy, training, and time into river, expedition, and ocean cruises, it has allowed me to provide the most knowledgable advice and best possible service to my clients.

THANK YOU to all of my RMF Custom Travel clients for choosing me to help with your vacation planning and for making July another month on the top agent lists. Hitting the Top Travel Companies leaderboard with my one-woman show especially makes me proud! 🙂

Edinburgh, Scotland 🏰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿, last leg of my clients’ 16-day England, Iceland and Scotland Princess Cruise extravaganza! They are now safely home and have reported that they loved their trip! 🚢❤️

Part 2, 16-night England, Iceland, Scotland cruise: Stunningly beautiful ICELAND! Akureyi, Grundarfjordur (to visit Snaefellsjokull) and Reykjavik. Four Iceland ports of call were scheduled, but unfortunately Seydisfjordur was missed due to weather.

How beautiful is this??? ❤️

Man, oh, man, what an experience! One of my favorite traveling couples is on another incredible cruise adventure to England, Iceland and Scotland! They started with a pre-cruise stay in London, then boarded the Caribbean Princess for their 16-night voyage! Here are some of their photos from London, Weymouth, and Cornwall.

Family fun for Fourth of July on a Royal Caribbean Allure of the Seas cruise to the Bahamas! 🇺🇸🌴🤿🐠🚢 This cruise was the perfect fit for this busy family who had very specific dates they could travel. No flying necessary, a great ship with tons to do for their teens, visits to Nassau and CocoCay, and two side by side balcony rooms to spread out worked perfectly for them! If you haven’t cruised for a holiday before, you are missing out. We’ve cruised all of them - Easter, July 4th, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s Eve (my personal favorite for cruising!!) Such a memorable, fun, safe, and RELAXING way to spend quality family time! 🛳️🛳️🛳️

Part 4, their last port, picture perfect Santorini, Greece 💙🇬🇷💎

Part 3 of Greece and Turkey Cruise- Mykonos for beach ,Rhodes for visiting an olive oil farm, local village bakery, and learning to make dolmades (my favorite!😍), and Crete for visiting the Arkadi Monastery dating back to 11th century AD 😍🇬🇷

Lobster , mussels, stuffed quahogs , and halibut! ❤️🦞❤️🦪❤️🐟❤️

New England Salt Life

Quintessential coastal New England in July 🦞🪻🇺🇸⚓️

My clients are having a great time on their Mediterranean family cruise to Greece and Turkey that started with a pre-cruise visit of Athens!They kicked off their adventure with a fascinating tour of the Acropolis, dinner on their hotel rooftop with a breathtaking view of the ancient ruins, a visit to the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion and an 8-course lunch featuring veal, lamb, and all the Greek goodies you can imagine. Now just a few days into their cruise, they’ve visited Thessaloniki and Istanbul (which will be a separate post). 🚢🇬🇷🏛️

Granville Island, Vancouver

I can’t think of a better way to spend your 13th birthday than on a cruise!! 🎂 🛳️ And a bonus when you get to see the SpaceX rocket booster post-launch being towed back to Cape Canaveral from your balcony! 🚀🚀

Getting their groove on at the Yacht Club White Party! 🤍🤍🤍

Boston, the disembarkation port for my clients’ Canada and New England cruise. This is a great city (I’m only slightly biased given I lived here for 9 years and go back to visit family often), for a pre or post cruise stay. So, so much to see and do!!

Part 4 of my clients’ Canada & New England Cruise-Bar Harbor, Maine and Acadia National Park 🇺🇸🦞

Part 2 of Canada and New England Holland America Volendam cruise: Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island; Sydney, Nova Scotia; and Halifax, Nova Scotia

Do you enjoy mixing history with vacation? How about a New England and Canada cruise? There are several to choose from! This group of friends started in Montreal, sailed the scenic St Lawrence River to Quebec City, then on to Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and Maine, finishing with a post-cruise stay in Boston! Thank you, Peggy Hernandez, for allowing me to share your great photos! Part 1: Montreal and Quebec City🇨🇦🍁…

Round two pics- Santorini donkey ride, and enjoying ship life on the Azamara Pursuit in the Mediterranean! 🫏⛴️

Chiliboats in San Juan 🌶️, snorkeling and pigs in the Bahamas🐖🤿, and getting ready to ride MSC ROBOTRON 🦾!!!

🛥️Yacht Club on MSC Seascape!! ⚓️Check out these great photos from my group currently cruising on MSC Seascape in the Yacht Club, MSC’s exclusive "ship within a ship"! Yacht Club is an entirely different experience! It actually is only accessible through a special elevator using a key card.

YC guests have their own restaurant for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with an elevated menu from the main dining restaurants, its own outdoor pool grill, lounges and bars, pool, sun deck, jacuzzis, even some nightly entertainment. This area is not reserved just for suites like some of the other cruise lines' exclusive areas, in fact there are even interior rooms in Yacht Club.
They have their own YC Director. You actually never even have to leave the Yacht Club for the whole cruise if you don’t want to (but there is so much other stuff to do and see, why would you not?)

From my client:

“Our rooms are great. The balcony room is spacious with a TON of storage and a walk in closet. The room has bathrobes and slippers, drinks in the fridge that are replenished daily and a nice sized bathroom. The interior rooms are smaller especially the bathroom but worth it since it comes with all the yacht club amenities. And each room gets a bottle of alcohol (you can choose from several).

Food choices are lovely. There is the dining room where we never had a bad meal. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner there. There is also a buffet on the pool deck for all three meals. In the Topsail lounge they have pastries in the morning, snacks during the day, tea time in the afternoon and snacks in the evening and at night.

The drinks are abundant and the staff come to know your choices very quickly. With no slips to sign, your drinks are refilled our replaced almost before you can finish them. “

So many great photos, that I’ll be making a few posts!

Are you an experienced Caribbean cruiser, enjoy fun in the sun, but would love to visit some different ports? Well, what about a west coast cruise? My clients just got back from their Royal Caribbean Navigator of the Seas cruise vacation out of Los Angeles with visits to Ensenada, Cabo San Lucas and Mazatlan! Cruising from LA gives you a great chance to combine land and sea with a pre-cruise visit to Hollywood ⭐️🎬🤩🎥😎. Who knows, you, too, may even have a celebrity sighting (see last photo)! 🤩😮🤩

I had the absolute pleasure of helping this adorable couple plan their first cruise aboard the awesome Wonder of the Seas! From their pics it is obvious they took full advantage of all the fun things to do onboard! Thank you, Katie, for letting me share your great photos! 🛳️🌴😎

So many of my clients are currently cruising the world right now!! Here are some great trip pics I received from my clients currently exploring Europe on a 13-day Mediterranean cruise aboard the Azamara Pursuit (700 passengers maximum) from Barcelona, Spain to Athens, Greece! ⛴️😎🏛️🌊

European river cruising in the springtime is magical! Let me help you get one on your agenda for 2025! 🌷🌼🪻🪷

Do you desire a sophisticated, upscale ocean/land vacation? A Seabourn all-inclusive luxury cruise might be just what you are looking for! Their seven ships which sail with a 250-600 maximum guest occupancy, provide an all-inclusive, yacht-like atmosphere and cruise unique, exciting itineraries around the world. My photos below are from my time aboard the Seabourn Odyssey. I loved the clean lines of its design, interesting art work, comfortable public spaces throughout, friendly crew, and delicious food! The Odyssey will be cruising Alaska starting next month! Because of its size, only able to house 450 guests, it can visit ports that the large cruise ships cannot! Let me know if you would like more information! ⛴️🥂
