I’ve been an agent, manager, travel instructor and I continue to learn more about the world every day so that I can give my clients the best travel experiences possible. 

I have a passion for Europe and especially European River Cruising. I love planning bucket list and once-in-a- lifetime trips.  I get to know my clients, many who become my friends. I find out what their travel dreams are and I design a trip that is customized especially for them. I want every trip I plan to be my clients most amazing and memorable trip ever.

BOOK WITH UTE

Travel Advisor

Karen Rublee,

I have been in the travel industry for over 31 years. I have worked as a travel agent, manager, and mentor. Travel is what I know and what I love. I treat my clients’ vacations as I would my own. I strive to bring a personal touch to each and every vacation I plan. After all, the vacations come and go, but the memories last a lifetime.

I have always had a fascination with castles and medieval history. I also love the great outdoors (hiking, RV camping, nordic skiing, you name it!) and I enjoy sharing that with my clients. I have a passion for selling European river cruises, and have taken six of them myself. I also specialize in trips to Ireland, Scotland, and England. Prince Edward Island and Ireland are two of my favorite places! When I'm not traveling, I'm home enjoying living near the ocean and visiting Acadia National Park. I would love to help you plan your special vacation. Let the memories begin!
