Today's travel advisor should be much more than someone who simply "books your trip." International travel can be complex, and having someone who understands the details makes all the difference.

My role begins with asking the right questions and then really listening. From there, I bring real-world experience and firsthand knowledge to the choices that matter: finding the right hotel in the right neighborhood, choosing the cruise line and stateroom that suit you, designing the flow of a multi-city or multi-country journey, and making sure all the logistics work seamlessly together.

Because a great trip isn’t just about where you go. It’s about how everything comes together once you’re there.

And if something unexpected happens along the way, you have someone who knows your trip and is there to help.

Viasära is for those who value having an experienced professional thoughtfully plan their journey - taking the details off their plate so they can enjoy the travel.

Viasära specializes in luxury ocean, river, and expedition cruises worldwide and partners with cruise lines such as Silversea, Seabourn, Viking, Oceania, AmaWaterways, Crystal, Explora Journeys, and HX Expeditions, just to name a few.

Many of these cruise lines offer all-inclusive experiences, meaning fewer additional charges to think about once you’re on board.

Already have a cruise in mind? I’ll take it from there - booking your cruise and handling the details leading up to your departure. Booking a luxury cruise through Viasära may also include preferred partner benefits such as additional onboard credits, when available.

Beyond those added benefits, you have my firsthand knowledge of ships, itineraries, and the details that matter - from choosing the right cruise and stateroom to managing important dates, pre-sailing requirements, and everything that needs to be arranged before you depart.

My cruise planning service also includes pre- and post-cruise stays, transportation, and associated logistics, so the journey feels seamless from the moment you leave home until you return.

*Cruise bookings are typically not subject to additional planning fees. 

If your idea of cruising is massive ships and thousands of passengers, it's time to rethink cruising. Luxury cruising (ocean and river) offers a more intimate way to see the world - smaller ships, significantly fewer guests, exceptional service and dining, and thoughtfully curated itineraries that can take you into ports larger ships simply can’t reach.

And the price difference may be less than you think. Traditional cruise fares can look lower upfront, but once drinks, Wi-Fi, excursions, gratuities, and other extras are added, the price gap between the two can narrow considerably. Many luxury cruise lines include much more in the fare, along with a more elevated, less crowded onboard experience. Cruise during the off-season, and the value can be even greater. 

Unpack once and see the world.

Yes! Through Viasära's affiliation with Travel Leaders Network, eligible boutique and luxury hotel stays may include additional benefits such as daily breakfast, room upgrades, early check-in, late check-out, 24/7 in-country concierge service, and a personal welcome amenity - all at no additional cost to you.

*Perks and amenities are subject to availability and vary by property.

Planning fees apply to Custom Itinerary Planning services and are based on the length and complexity of your trip including the number of destinations and travelers, logistics involved, and level of support required.

Any applicable fees will always be clearly discussed and agreed upon before planning begins.

*Cruise bookings and Guided Tour bookings are typically not subject to additional planning fees.

For Custom Itinerary Planning clients, Viasära can arrange international premium airfare, including business and first class, as part of your overall trip planning.

For international economy flights, I'll provide guidance on flight timing, routing, and connections to ensure they work seamlessly with your itinerary.

For flights within Europe, I'm happy to book all fare classes after we've discussed the options, coordinating each flight with the rest of your travel plans.

Viasära does not book Vrbo or Airbnb properties. For travelers who want a little more space, multiple bedrooms or a kitchen, I can usually arrange alternatives such as apartment-style hotels, serviced apartments, and professionally managed villas through my trusted travel partners.
