Virtuoso Cruise Icon ( top 1 % Worldwide)

The Virtuoso Cruise Icons program recognizes the top 1% of Virtuoso advisors worldwide who excel in handling cruise vacations.

For 2024 & 2025, I have been awarded this prestigious distinction for the second consecutive year! This honor highlights my exceptional expertise and dedication to providing outstanding cruise experiences for my clients .

Also achieved a recognition from Direct Travel as their Sapphire advisor .

I am proud to bring you over 30 years of expertise ! I have built a career around helping people see the world. I am not selling trips, I am safeguarding time ! Every itinerary I design becomes a container of moments people will never get back. Presence is the real luxury product I provide. Travel removes distractions and creates emotional proximity . Small details I plan create big memories . Building breathing room into an itinerary , it is space where connection happens. In the end, people remember how it felt to be together and enjoy those moments.

My first river cruise in Europe was over 30 years ago in my home country of Hungary, and I have since sailed every river in Europe (as well as the Mekong in Southeast Asia). I love the concept of unpacking only once, strolling on and off the ship, and the delightful cultural immersion at every port of call, including some of Europe’s most beloved cities.

Apart from river cruising, I have many years of experience in planning luxury custom trips to Europe, Africa and Asia. I know and personally experienced these bucket list destinations , have personal local connections so rest assured you can place your dreams in my hands. My personal experiences, absolute focus on detail, network of worldwide contacts and access to special, personalized experiences is, my clients tell me, second to none.

I look forward to hearing from you!
