Luxury cruise design, international land itineraries, milestone travel, multi-generational journeys, honeymoons, group travel, and wedding room blocks. Every engagement is designed with intention — not assembled from templates.

Full Travel Design starts at $600 and covers the entire experience from first decision to final confirmation. Cruise + Essentials starts at $400 and includes cruise planning, pre-cruise hotel placement, transfers, and travel insurance coordination. Travel Management starts at $300 and is for travelers who have planned independently but want professional oversight during travel. All fees are confirmed in writing before work begins.

No. Planning fees are 100% non-refundable. They reflect the research, strategy, and coordination that begins the moment the engagement is confirmed. This is not a consultation fee — it is the beginning of the work.

For most travel, six to twelve months is a reasonable starting point. For world voyages, expedition sailings, peak season cruises, or any multi-generational or group itinerary, twelve to twenty-four months is strongly recommended. The best suites, sailings, and properties do not hold. The travelers who plan early are the ones who travel better.

Yes, without exception. Travel insurance is strongly recommended on every trip. It protects your investment against supplier cancellations, medical emergencies, delays, and circumstances outside anyone's control. Cruise + Essentials includes travel insurance coordination as part of the service.

Yes. I design travel worldwide — luxury cruises across every ocean, land itineraries throughout Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and beyond. If the destination requires real strategic thinking to execute correctly, that is the work I do.

I remain a direct point of contact during active travel for all managed engagements. Supplier changes, flight disruptions, and on-the-ground coordination are handled as part of the work — not as an afterthought.

You submit a short application. I review it personally and respond within one to two business days with my assessment — whether this is the right fit, what I would recommend, and what the path forward looks like. All communication is via email. Phone and text are reserved for active travel days and emergencies only.

This is the right fit if your time is genuinely limited, you have traveled well before and know what the upper tier feels like, and you are planning a trip that needs to be exactly right.

This is not the right fit if you are looking for the lowest price, want to manage the details yourself, need to be persuaded that a planning fee is worth it, or expect communication outside a structured email-primary engagement.
