I love to travel and talk about travel! Since 1993, I’ve helped clients plan big vacations and small getaways on every continent. Having been to more than 30 countries, traveled to all 50 states, and sailed on a wide array of cruises, I’m often asked which place is my favorite to visit. My answer is always the same, “I’ve had amazing experiences everywhere I’ve been, but I’ll never turn down traveling to the beaches of Hawaii.” The most memorable trips I plan are for people who are trying to check things off their travel bucket list. I love to help identify what they’re looking to do and then architect their perfect experience. Whether you’ve always dreamed of a foodie tour in NYC, a long weekend in Charleston, a hideaway in Thailand, or an exploration of the Amazon River, I’m not just a travel agent, I’m a maker of lifetime memories!

Client Review: Anna-Lisa G.
"Laura was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful in the beginning and throughout. Laura really helped us with an overlooked detail when the cruise line booked our flight so close to departure time and got us transfers that were removed and then replaced. I already have recommended her to my walking group this morning!"
Client Review: Wayne H.
"Because of Laura's assistance we were able to avoid some very difficult circumstances. We enjoyed the arrangements that Laura made for us. We would gladly recommend others to use her services. She is the best. We were quite timid in traveling around Europe on our own. We discovered that we could do it and did it without much heart burn."
Client Review by Randal S:
"Laura has helped us with multiple cruises and provides excellent service. It has been amazing how quickly Laura responds and always understands what we need and provides accurate solutions. We will not hesitate to work with Laura in the future."
Client Review: Faith N.
"Laura is wonderful to work with! She gave us great recommendation and was so pleasant to work with! Laura is a great communicator and always responds quickly. We have already recommended her to others and we hope to book our next family vacation through her."

I’ve never used a travel agent before. Laura was amazing! She made my trip planning so easy & had my entire itinerary over to me immediately. It actually blew my mind with how much stress it took off of my shoulders with planning. My trip was so smooth & I didn’t hit one road block the whole way. I highly recommend Laura — she’s the best!!Posted on Google![]()

We recently enjoyed a wonderful 7-day cruise to Alaska aboard the NCL Encore. The beautiful Alaskan scenery was breathtaking, and we thoroughly enjoyed the ship’s food and entertainment. Laura Murdoch assisted us with all of our travel arrangements and took excellent care of us throughout the process. We truly appreciated her help and would be happy to work with her again!Posted on Google![]()

Dream Vacation Entrant. Recently retired, we have not done a cruise prior but do enjoy traveling. My dream cruise would be through the inside passage (Alaska). My husband loves Mexico so this would be a great way to launch him on cruises.Posted on Google![]()

I always enjoy listening to Larry Gelwix on KUTV news. We've been on a number of cruise trips but have not used Morris Columbus yet. We really want to go Alaska on our next cruise so planning to try Morris Columbus since we saw Larry talking about the Alaska cruise on the news a couple weeks ago.Posted on Google![]()

I have been so impressed with the timeliness and prompt responses when I reach out to Morris Columbus travel. I had a wonderful time on a cruise booked through them to the New England Fall colors, and I loved going to the Fall Expo! I learned so much!Posted on Google![]()

What I really appreciated after utilizing this office was, they did not bug me and harass me post-trip to book again immediately. They let me know they were there if I needed them. So refreshing not to be constantly contacted via phone, e-mail, etc.Posted on Google![]()

Our Avalon Cruise on the South of France Burgundy and Provence
With a bevy of handsome harbors and lovely medieval villages, a Rhône River cruise touches the heart of every romantic traveler. Whether you’re dipping your toe into the pool of river cruising for the first time, impatiently longing to be swept off your feet again by a cruise, or taking

Cross the Greek Islands Off Your Bucket List
Pictures of idyllic white-washed buildings over-looking the sea and clear blue water inviting visitors to jump in have fueled my desire to visit the Greek islands for years. Greece is more than ancient civilizations or harbors, more than the Olympics and olive groves. It is a culture as vibrant as

My Australian Adventure
The average traveler to Australia is known to do what is called the BRR type of trip. BRR stands for Bridge, Reef, Rock—the Sydney Harbor Bridge, Great Barrier Reef and Uluru/Ayers Rock. While these are fantastic experiences for a first time traveler to Australia, here are a few destination highlights

My AmaWaterways Christmas Market River Cruise with Larry Gelwix
Christmas is always a magical time. But Christmas, with centuries old traditions in the land of Kris Kringle, is even more memorable. Rather than drive or train from town to town, we floated easily down the Danube on AmaWaterways Sonata. It was a relaxing and fun way to enjoy the

My Croatian Adventure with Silversea Cruises
I recently had the pleasure of serving as the Signature host on a 10-day Silversea cruise, departing from Copenhagen and exploring the stunning coastal towns and fjords of Norway.
