What My Clients Say
Kristen was so knowledgeable and friendly. She answered all my questions and made me feel secure booking with Exploration Next Travel... I have been on 30 cruises the past 25 years and I have never booked with travel agency before, always through the cruise website itself. This particular cruise was sold out on the website but I was able to book through Kristen and I am very appreciative!!!
Thank You!

Welcome to Exploration Next Travel - I'm so glad you're here
I’m Kristen Linehan, a travel advisor who believes the best journeys begin with listening.
Before founding Exploration Next Travel, I spent years as an English teacher and basketball coach. Both roles taught me how to ask good questions, understand different personalities, and guide people toward a shared goal. Those same skills shape the way I approach travel planning today.
I am also a mom to three grown children and a very proud grandmother, so I understand how quickly life changes and how meaningful shared time can be.
I specialize in river cruises, active and culturally immersive journeys, expedition voyages, and custom group experiences. Whether you are traveling as a couple, with family or friends, or on your own, I will help shape a trip around your interests, pace, and priorities.
My role is to handle the research, logistics, and details so you can focus on the experience itself.
Every well-planned trip begins with a conversation.
