Where the river slows and people gather.
Adult river cruises and small-group voyages, planned the way you'd plan them yourself — if you had the time.
I'm Cindy Pettengill — the planner, the advisor, the person who answers your emails. The Gathering Quay is a small travel agency for travelers drawn to the world's slow rivers and the people who travel them well.
I plan trips one at a time. Not packages off a shelf. Not megaships. Just thoughtful river cruises and small-group voyages, built around what you actually want to see, where you'd actually want to linger, and the company you'd actually want to travel with.
Rivers are most beautiful where they merge. Travel is best when people come together. That's the whole idea.
