I’m Christine Hardenberger, owner of Modern Travel Professionals and proudly GenX. I graduated high school in 1986, back when booking a vacation meant that you walked into a travel agency, sat across from an actual human, and left knowing your flights were ticketed and someone would answer the phone if something went sideways.
That experience still drives how I run my business.
I have spent 18 years planning adults-only vacations, Caribbean all-inclusive resort stays, river cruises through Europe, ocean cruises, and guided European tours for couples who do not have the time or patience to piece together a vacation between conference calls.
My clients are empty nesters, honeymooners, vow renewal couples, military families, first responders, and LGBTQ+ travelers who have zero interest in becoming part-time travel agents for their own vacation.
I personally visit the Caribbean resorts I recommend. I sail the ships. I walk the properties. I spend my own money doing it. If I suggest a Sandals resort in Jamaica, a Couples resort on Seven Mile Beach, a Viking River Cruise on the Rhine or Danube, or a Globus guided tour in Europe, it is because I know exactly how it operates and who it fits.
There is no guessing, no influencer hype, and no “the photos looked great online.”
Travel planning should not feel like trying to program a VCR without the manual.
It should feel structured, accountable, and done correctly.
As the wife of a veteran and part of a first-responder family, I am proud to offer military and first responder discounts whenever possible. Service matters to me, and follow-through matters even more.
Most of my clients are adults who have raised kids, built careers, and survived dial-up internet. They want adults-only all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean. They want European river cruises that feel elegant, not chaotic. They want cruises and guided tours that are organized, not overwhelming.
They also do not want to be negotiating with an overseas call center while standing in a bathing suit in Cancun.
If you are planning an adults-only getaway, a Caribbean all-inclusive vacation, a European river cruise, an ocean cruise, or a guided tour and you would like it handled by someone who actually knows what she is doing, that is exactly what I do.
I bring a human touch to a digital world.
You can relax, explore, and repeat.
