Marci Oakley

I fell in love with travel when living overseas in Germany with my husband and then very small children. Before then I traveled throughout the US and Europe for business only. Once having the opportunity to live in Europe, to learn and to enjoy the culture, travel became more than just a destination - it became an experience.

It is that sense of experience I want my clients to have. I want them to not only see the sites, but to taste the local foods, enjoy the local festivals, walk along the streets and drive through the small villages.

I began my career in travel over 20 years ago working with an agency specializing in Portugal and Spain. We were also one of the first agencies to begin promoting European River Cruises. One of the easiest ways to visit Europe.

As with large cruise ships, European River cruise companies and ships are not the same. I have years of personal experience sailing with a variety of cruise companies both in Europe and on the open seas. I've sailed with small children, with teenagers, on romantic getaways with my husband and as a Virtuoso host.

It is my varied experiences both traveling on land and on water; my passion for travel; my attention to detail and my dedication to creating the best personalized vacation for my clients which makes me the best travel counselor I can be.
