Welcome to Cruisin’ With Ted

France – Retro Sidecar Romantic Tour

🛵 Cruising through the charm of France in vintage style—romance, wind, and wonder in every turn.

Perhaps the only thing better than travel is assisting others in their journeys around the world. Since embarking on a career in cruise and vacation consulting in the early 2000's I have had the pleasure of assisting tens of thousands in fulfilling their life-long dreams in circumnavigating the globe in search of the wonder and enlightenment associated with travel. Nothing could replace the joy and contentment I have obtained both from my own personal adventures and those experienced vicariously through my clients. As a Small-Ship Ocean and River Cruise Travel Planning Expert, my goal is to provide a unique opportunity for my followers to learn more about the pure pleasure of globe trotting.
