There are so many wonderful ways to travel and so many amazing destinations. I can help you determine what is right for you.
On your own, but with all the support. When we create an itinerary together, you will have every detail planned out and taken care of so you can relax and enjoy.
The best way to see Europe and beyond. River cruising is the easiest and most relaxing way to explore multiple towns. Plus, no waves!
The ultimate stress free way to travel. Want to sit back and the scenery go by? The loss of flexibility is more than made up for by the ease of travel.
Make the destinations come to you. Unpack once and just have fun! It can be all about the ports or the ship can be the destination. Either way, what's more relaxing than watching the waves meet the sky at the horizon?
The possibilities are limitless, but in case you need a little inspiration...
This is a self-drive itinerary that I created, but having a private driver is the best way to see Ireland.
Sailing on a smaller ship lets you get into smaller ports.
What if your biggest decision for the day was pool or beach?
There is no better way to see Europe than by river cruise. This is a Paris to Normandy cruise and ask me about my Danube experience.
Rome and the Amalfi coast are amazing! This can be extended to include Florence and Venice for a complete Italy experience!

Not just for cancellations!
Travel protection is important in case of delays or needing to cancel your trip, but it is also critical to give you medical insurance and emergency repatriation when you're outside the US. Most people don't realize that their medical insurance does not cover them when they're out of the country.

The easiest and most relaxing trip!
"Our Amalfi Coast honeymoon, planned with The Happy Suitcase, was the easiest experience and most fun we’ve had on a vacation yet. We had the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation, without the worries of how to get from one place to the next or what tour to take. We officially can’t go back to the way we used to travel."
A great trip planned expertly!
"Alison helped us plan our daughter’s graduation trip to Italy and we couldn’t be happier! She listen to our needs and planned a muti-destination trip that went seamlessly. We highly recommend The Happy Suitcase to anyone looking for a great trip that is planned expertly!"
We had an incredible time!
"Alison is a pleasure to work with. We emailed many questions and scheduled a couple calls before my first trip to Europe. Everything went smoothly. She picked fantastic hotels for us. We had an incredible time! I highly recommend her."
A truly memorable experience!
"Alison helped us book a trip to Cancun for my 50th birthday and it was amazing. Her planning and attention to detail made for a truly memorable experience. I highly recommend using The Happy Suitcase for all of your travel needs!"
