Insider knowledge at your service

It's not just about the cabin size or the special promotions. You want to know if they will offer you a black napkin when you wear your fabulous black dress, if it is better to book a suite or adjacent cabins, or if it gets chilly in the auditorium.

A life well-traveled

Imagine a morning where the only thing on your "to-do" list is deciding which deck of your private yacht offers the best view of the Amalfi coast. Picture yourself stepping through a "closed" door for a private viewing of the Louvre's treasures, or sitting down to a Michelin-caliber dinner in the heart of a Loire Valley château, arranged specifically for your palate.

These aren't just bucket-list items; they are the standard for a life well-traveled. As an independent advisor partnered with the prestigious Global Travel Collection, I don’t just book trips—I architect experiences. From bespoke luxury cruises and high-octane sports travel to soul-stirring cultural immersions, I ensure your journey is as seamless as it is spectacular.

Your time is the true luxury

Planning a sophisticated getaway is an intricate puzzle of logistics, timing, and taste. My role is to remove the "noise." While I handle the complex flight paths, private transfers, and the vetting of exclusive villas, you get to focus on the anticipation. I manage the details so you can simply enjoy the destination.

Maximizing your investment

Travel is one of life’s greatest investments. Because of my independent status and global reach, I ensure every dollar works harder for you. I don’t just find "rates"; I secure value. Through my expertise, I transform standard bookings into high-yield experiences—think unexpected room upgrades, tailored family itineraries, and the kind of thoughtful touches that can’t be bought online.

Insider access & VIP status

In the world of luxury, who you know is just as important as where you go. My partnership with Global Travel Collection gives you "keys to the city" status worldwide. You aren't just another guest; you are a priority. Enjoy complimentary breakfasts, resort credits, and preferred seating at the world’s most sought-after tables and venues.

Premier global partnerships

My black book includes direct lines to the world’s most prestigious hotel icons, boutique cruise lines, and elite tour operators. These long-standing relationships mean I can often secure the "un-bookable" suite or the first-class cabin that appears sold out elsewhere. Your itinerary is backed by the power of a global giant, but delivered with the care of a personal consultant.

Beyond the itinerary

"Luxury isn't just about the thread count of the sheets; it's about the stories you tell when you get home."
  • Customized Curations: Whether it’s a chef-led market tour in Tokyo or a private villa in the Maldives with a dedicated butler, I tailor every hour to your specific rhythm.
  • Cultural & Event Access: From front-row seats at the world’s premier sporting events to backstage access at historic theaters, I bridge the gap between "visiting" a place and truly "experiencing" it.
  • A Personal Advocate: Travel can be unpredictable. If a flight is delayed or a plan needs to shift mid-journey, you don't call a 1-800 number. You call me. I am your advocate, your troubleshooter, and your peace of mind from takeoff to touchdown.

Discover travel at its finest

When you choose to work with me, you’re gaining a dedicated partner who values your time and your taste as much as you do. Let’s move beyond the ordinary and craft a journey that is—quite literally—one for the books.

About Me

Travel is my passion, and I enjoy making clients' dreams come true almost as much as I love exploring the world myself. Discovering all the beauty and excitement life has to offer is not just a pleasure — it's a duty I owe my clients. I’ve been a digital nomad since 2015, working from London, Valencia, Vancouver, and now Tokyo. You can still

reach me on my NY phone number, and I'm available to clients even when I'm in the middle of the ocean.

As a CLIA certified Luxury Cruise Counselor, I've traveled on and toured enough ships to assemble a small fleet. My favorite cruise destination is the Mediterranean - 14 times and counting if I include Adriatic and Aegean. I've been planning vacations since the turn of the century, seeking out the best hotels and most fabulous resorts, as well as the most interesting, quirky, out of the way places, so I can tailor itineraries to suit your desires.

“I did want to send a note of thanks for all of your help in preparing me and my family for our cruise. We had a fantastic time and it is a vacation we will surely always remember. I can’t thank you enough for all of the information you provided (and your infinite patience!) as it made our vacation seamless. I think we would have been lost without your help.

Pattie

Ithaca, NY (USA)

“For the last 15 years, when I need to travel for lectures, for tourism, for family, or to book guests to Ithaca College or to the Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival, I only have to type one name into my email to have all my anxieties and pressures recede: STEPHANIE SERINO. She’s gotten our family to China, Singapore, Turkey, Mexico, The Netherlands, France, Canada, Scotland, England, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Ireland and other places I can’t recall since the travel was so effortless with no headaches of searching for the best price on endless internet sites. And she has bailed us out with calming advice and rebookings when flights were canceled or delayed. Whenever anyone asks us what’s the best way to book flights or travel, we tell them, grow up, don’t waste ten hours of your time on the internet scouring for a good deal. Get yourself the best travel agent on the planet. One email and you are DONE. CALL STEPHANIE.
