Lexington, Kentucky · European & Cruise Travel Advisor

I've probably already been to your dream destination.

Ninety countries. All seven continents. I plan unhurried, beautifully-organized journeys for Central Kentucky travelers who'd rather be guided by someone who's actually been there.

Where I Travel

A world I know by heart

Not a directory of everywhere. The places I return to, plan obsessively, and send my travelers to with confidence.

Europe

The European Specialist's Europe

Paris to the Amalfi Coast — itineraries built around how you actually want to travel, not a packaged tour.

River Cruising

Rhine, Danube & Douro

The cruise lines, cabins, and sailings worth your money — and the ones that aren't. I sail them so I can tell you.

Ocean & Sea

Mediterranean & Beyond

Small-ship and luxury ocean cruising matched to your pace, your budget, and the ports that matter to you.

Group Journeys

Book Clubs & Friends

Curated group departures for the people you already love traveling with — handled end to end.

Beyond

Your Bucket List

Africa, Asia, the Pacific — if it's on your list, there's a good chance it's already on my map.

About Erin

Travel planned by someone who's actually wandered there.

I'm Erin Baker — a Lexington-based travel advisor who has spent decades collecting the kind of first-hand knowledge no website can give you. When you work with me, you're not booking a trip. You're borrowing a lifetime of wandering.

What I Specialize In

Two things, done exceptionally

A focused advisor beats a generalist. For Lexington and Central Kentucky travelers, these are mine.

Specialty 01

European travel specialist

From first-timers nervous about logistics to seasoned travelers chasing the perfect village — I design European journeys that feel effortless and unmistakably yours.

Specialty 02

River & ocean cruise specialist

Cruising is where the wrong advice costs the most. I match you to the right line, ship, and cabin — and handle every detail before and after you sail.

Kind Words

Travelers who'd never plan another trip alone

Erin thought of things I never would have. Every transfer, every reservation — handled. I just showed up and fell in love with Europe.

We've used Erin for three cruises now. She knows the ships, she knows us, and she always gets it right.

Booking our book-club trip felt impossible until Erin took it over. Twelve of us, zero stress.
