Confirmed β€” and Counting Down! ✨🚒

I’m officially booked to attend the 2026 ASTA River Cruise Expo in Amsterdam this March β€” and I couldn’t be more excited to return!

 

Last year in Vienna, I was honoured to be the only Canadian travel advisor invited to this world-class event. πŸ“° Read the Travel Courier feature:
πŸ”— How a Canadian Travel Advisor gained major insights at ASTA’s River Cruise Expo in Vienna

 

And now…
✨ I’m booked aboard Uniworld Boutique River Cruises’ brand-new S.S. Emilie, launching March 2026 in Amsterdam β€” just in time for ASTA!

This stunning new ship is inspired by the art of Gustav Klimt β€” rich golds, bold design, curated interiors, and that unmistakable Uniworld boutique elegance. Huge thanks to Pollo for helping me step into the lobby (virtually!) before the ship has even debuted. πŸ‘€πŸŽ¨

 

Following the conference, I’ll also be sailing on Riverside Debussy, part of the stylish and luxurious Riverside Luxury Cruises collection.


🚒 What Makes the ASTA River Cruise Expo So Unique?

βœ… Tour 15 river ships docked right in Amsterdam
βœ… Connect with top cruise executives and suppliers face-to-face
βœ… Dive into exclusive training β€” so I can better match you to your perfect cruise
βœ… Get insider previews of 2026–2027 itineraries before they’re released

 

As a river cruise expert, I take my role seriously β€” which means getting on board, experiencing the ships for myself, and learning what sets each brand apart. That firsthand knowledge is what allows me to pair you with the right ship, sailing, and style β€” no guesswork.
