Marc & Kris E. and Julie & John who took a 2019 Emerald Waterways cruise we help them plan.
Marc’s comment—”The trip exceeded my high expectations in nearly every respect! Thanks again for all of your assistance and advice. Our cruise was amazing and I’m anxious to go again!
In June 2019, we led a group on an AmaWaterways Captivating Rhine 7 day river cruise. This awesome group, with 4 previous clients who had cruised with us before and and 2 couples who had never taken a river cruise before, got to enjoy the AmaWaterways difference of “Leading the Way in River Cruising”.
Thank you for the beautiful cruise—we enjoyed it very much and it was the most relaxing part of our vacation. All in all, it was a great trip—our best vacation in years!

What a great trip! I am an experienced traveler, have traveled all over the world, and this is the best trip I ever had! To be able to see 8 countries, explore a many venues and participate in a multitude of events created a unique vacation I will never forget. The food, wine, staff and overall experience was awesome.

It was exactly what we wanted for a location, the service was incredible, food was fantastic, and most importantly we spent LOTS of quality time together! This is a picture of us at the beach party. They had a delicious buffet on the beach for all the guests and some special coconut drinks. It was a beautiful evening indeed!" -- Rebecca & Patrick Marsh

Alaska Adventure Cruise Tour Group
We had a wonderful trip to Alaska, and it all started with Hank's pre-planning. Our church group knew we wanted to go on a cruise to Alaska, and Hank showed us all the options available. The shipboard experience was spectacular. Who knew you could get multiple entrees at the evening meal and have both lobster and salmon. The recommended ship offered a truly uniquely Alaskan experience of cruising into Yakutat Bay and spending the morning enjoying the sight of the Hubbard Glacier. Our group might have made the trip without Hank's help, but I doubt it. I am certain we would not have enjoyed the experience nearly as much. Thank you Hank! --Ben Watson Houston, TX
Elaine & Tom Blakeman
"Hank arranged a holiday Caribbean Cruise for my wife and I this past Christmas and it turned out GREAT. Had it not been for Hank we might have chosen a different cruise line; in fact, we had looked at others and did not even know this one (or the itinerary) existed. It turns out that Hank and his wife cruise a lot themselves and had been on the very ship they recommended for us. He provided all sorts of good tips along the way too so we knew what to expect and all the right options to choose. The whole thing could not have turned out better - start to finish. Anyone thinking of a cruise vacation (or any other trip for that matter) should be sure and use Hank as their travel agent.” - Tom Blakeman January 9, 2012
Hank Schrader 60th Birthday/Family Reunion
“Best vacation of my life!" -- Mindy Dahl
Linda & Joe Stiles
"We are so pleased to be able to share the wonderful experience we enjoyed on our recent cruise…thanks to both of you. We are very grateful for your help and guidance in the cabin selection and the level of service while aboard the ship. We, individually, could not have put together such a really great trip via the Internet or through a 1-800 relationship. Because of the level of care the two of you showed us, we are committed to using you in ALL our travel plans. We often recommend both of you to friends, associates and neighbors. Continued success in 2012 is our wish for you." -- Joe & Linda Stiles
