As owner and lead agent of Castle Cruises & Travel, 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.

Looking forward to booking your next journey with Castle Cruises & Travel!

A few testimonials from my valued clients

Castle Cruises & Travel

Marci was terrific. We had a narrow window of opportunity and she helped us find a river cruise that met our objectives in terms of ports of call and timing. GO.

Marci was very attentive to the needs of our 12 person, somewhat unruly!, group of travelers. We felt that we were taken care of and were able to customize our 3-country trip. PO.

Our trip to Egypt and Jordan was our 4th trip arranged by Marci. Previous trips included a river cruise on the Duoro in Portugal, a relaxing all-inclusive family trip to the Dominican Republic, and a two week tour of Iguazu Falls and Argentina. Clearly, we enjoy our relationship with Marci; she knows our general preferences and when needed consults with us to make appropriate choices with her inputs. LB
