Do you have a desire to travel, but don't know where to begin?
You've come to the right place! We take the mystery out of planning the perfect travel getaway!
We specialize in getting you to your destination with the least amount of stress. My name is Laura Wake Kennedy and I have been planning professional destination vacations for over 11 years. I have traveled to several countries with my husband, family, friends and client groups. Through my experiences I have learned where to go, the best way to get there and how to get the most value for the money.
Our clients expect and deserve the best for their time and money. So we go that extra mile to ensure that you, our client, get the best value, service and satisfaction with all your travel needs.
Wake's Travel manages all types of travel for our customers, although we specialize in River, Small Ship & Luxury Cruises as well as custom land vacations and Tour packages.
We build dream vacations, let us build yours.
River cruising is one of the fastest-growing sectors of the cruise industry. New ships are being launched each year, which brings us yet even more opportunities to explore! The ride is smoother and clients enjoy the slower, more intimate pace of a river cruise.
You’ll enjoy the personal freedom of a river cruise. Simply step aboard, unpack once, explore, immerse and enjoy.
There are a variety of choices. Select from a number of themed vacations offering amenities like food and wine. There are also active and family-orientated cruises.
Unlike an ocean cruise, a river cruise allows you to visit more locations in a shorter period of time and an opportunity to immerse yourself in a variety of beautiful scenery and rich culture.
Of course the biggest challenge of planning a river cruise is selecting one that is right for you. We are here to help! Wake's Travel has a passion for travel and helping you select and plan a complete and well-planned vacation of your dreams!
Laura is just simply AWESOME!! If you want the best vacation call her! I cannot believe how she can come through like she does! I would NEVER use anyone else for my family travels.
