With a dedicated focus on Mediterranean travel, I bring a wealth of expertise in both cruise and land experiences to the table. With years of industry experience, I've honed my skills in creating unforgettable journeys that capture the essence of the Mediterranean's diverse cultures, rich history, and stunning landscapes.


Mediterranean Cruise Expertise:My specialization in Mediterranean cruises allows me to meticulously curate itineraries that showcase the region's iconic destinations while also delving into hidden gems. From the enchanting canals of Venice to the ancient ruins of Athens, I design journeys that blend relaxation and exploration. Whether it's the breathtaking views of Santorini's caldera or the vibrant street markets of Barcelona, I ensure travelers experience the true essence of each port. I have a deep understanding of various cruise lines and ships, enabling me to match travelers with the perfect vessel to suit their preferences, whether that's a luxury liner or a boutique cruiser.


Mediterranean Land Travel: My expertise extends beyond the sea to offer immersive land travel experiences across the Mediterranean. I understand that travelers often seek a deeper connection with the destinations they visit. From walking the historic streets of Rome to savoring local delicacies in small coastal villages along the Amalfi Coast, my land-based itineraries are designed to provide authentic and enriching experiences. I incorporate cultural interactions, historic sites, and natural wonders to create journeys that resonate on a personal level, fostering a genuine appreciation for the region's diversity.


Personalized Approach: What sets me apart is my commitment to personalization. I understand that every traveler is unique, with distinct preferences and interests. I take the time to listen to my clients, gaining insights into their aspirations and desires. This information allows me to craft tailor-made itineraries that reflect their individual travel style, ensuring that each journey is a reflection of their dreams.


Cultural Immersion: A core aspect of my expertise is fostering cultural immersion. I believe that travel is not just about seeing new places but also about connecting with the local way of life. I facilitate encounters with local artisans, guides, and communities, allowing travelers to gain insight into the authentic traditions and practices that shape the Mediterranean's vibrant tapestry of cultures.


Seamless Travel Experience: From the initial planning stages to the journey's conclusion, I pride myself on offering a seamless travel experience. Attention to detail, comprehensive research, and a network of reliable partners ensure that every aspect of the trip is meticulously organized. This approach leaves travelers free to fully embrace their adventure, knowing that every logistical detail has been taken care of.


With a passion for crafting journeys that inspire, educate, and transform, I invite travelers to embark on a voyage through the Mediterranean that transcends expectations and creates lasting memories. Call or email today so we can start crafting your vacation today!

Best Travel Agent Ever!
Carol is the most helpful and knowledgeable agent we’ve had the pleasure of working with. She was able to advise us on the all of the places we wanted to travel, and she knew the hotels, districts, restaurants and experiences that would be best suited to our interests and preferences. When we had the unfortunate experience of having to cancel one of our trips due to pandemic restrictions, she worked hard with all of the vendors to make sure we received refunds on our deposits that we wouldn’t have been achieve on our own. She is also just a delightful person to work with. Can’t say enough good things about her. Trust Carol with your travel plans, you will be grateful for her assistance!

Great Deals in Airfare
Carole booked our party of 5 on our flights to Germany. She spent time finding the right flights and even got a better price by looking at the day before and the day after our original dates.

Saving the day in every way!
Carole and AMT are my secret weapon when it comes to travel. I travel 2 weeks per month for work (not to mention for fun). Every once in a while, the worst happens, and it reminds me why I use a travel agent. I flew from Manchester to JFK, with the plan to connect through to Washington DC. When I landed and turned on my phone, I was advised that my flight was cancelled and rebooked, then cancelled and rebooked. While getting my bags at customs, it was cancelled again, as were all flights due to weather. I absolutely had to be in DC because of a key business meeting, and I called Carole to help. She was able to get me on a train out of Penn station, and on my way. When I arrived Penn station, I saw a long list of delayed and cancelled trains, again due to weather. Carole again for the win, a quick phone call to review all my options, and we decided on the best course of action. Four hours later, I was in my hotel and resting for my meetings.
