Navigating the Waters of Luxury Travel with Rita Pompey of Vorrei Travel

Stepping aboard a river cruise offers a unique way to experience Europe's charm - wake up in a new town each day without ever having to re-pack your suitcase. Stepping up to listen to this episode of the Good Neighbor Podcast Delco may start you on just such a journey with Rita Pompei, co-owner of Vorrei Travel, when host Bob Blaisse asks Rita to reveal why these floating boutique hotels are rapidly becoming the preferred way to explore a continent's hidden gems.

"You can actually walk right off the ship and into town," Rita explains, highlighting the accessibility that makes river cruising particularly appealing to travelers seeking convenience without sacrificing authenticity. The Danube remains the most requested route, allowing guests to smoothly transition between Germany, France, Switzerland and Hungary while unpacking just once. Rita also shares how the Rhine River and Siene River in France are nearly as popular.

While skilled and experienced in booking and coordinating any kind of travel for individuals, to small and large groups, whether to domestic locations by plane or train, or for international travel or booking an ocean cruise, what truly distinguishes Vorrei Travel in today's digital booking landscape is their commitment to personalized service. When flight disruptions occur, they immediately handle rebooking while clients avoid the stress of navigating problems alone. This women-owned agency based in Media, Pennsylvania, specializes in crafting custom European experiences tailored to each traveler's specific desires, whether that's a Mediterranean cruise stopping at Barcelona and Venice, a Mississippi River journey or a private excursion in a quaint European village.

At Vorrei Travel, they believe that every journey begins with a desire — "vorrei", Italian for "I would like." Whether you're dreaming of sipping espresso in a quiet Venetian café, hiking through the Andes, or chasing the Northern Lights, they’re here to make those dreams a reality. The travel world has evolved, but the need for genuine expertise hasn't disappeared. From handling passport renewals to arranging special group rates for parties of eight or more, Rita and her co-owner of Vorrei Travel, and travel agent, Deb Gordon, deliver comprehensive travel planning without charging fees for cruise bookings. Their approach transforms what could be complicated logistics into seamless, memorable experiences.
