Your travel specialist
Great trips start with real planning and someone you trust. I help couples and families build journeys that feel personal and go smoothly, whether that is a honeymoon on the Amalfi Coast, an overwater bungalow in Bora Bora, a Mediterranean cruise or a week at an all-inclusive in the Caribbean.
There is a myth that using a travel advisor drives costs up. Because I know the suppliers, I can often find savings, upgrades and perks you would not get on your own, and I am the person on the other end of the phone if something goes wrong at 11pm in Positano.
My agency won the Brides of Long Island Diamond Award for Honeymoon Travel Agency in 2025 and 2026, voted by real couples.

Not the way most people think. Christine often finds savings, upgrades and perks you would not get booking alone, and she walks you through exactly what you pay, including any planning fee, before you commit to anything.
Christine calls within one business day and emails your itinerary the same day she calls.
That is normal. Pick the trip closest to what you have been picturing, or choose custom and say a few words about it. Christine starts from there.
Six to twelve months out for Italy and French Polynesia, because the rooms and the trains you actually want sell out first. Sooner is better, but she has moved fast before.
The prices shown are starting rates, based on current availability and subject to change until a deposit is made. Rates vary with travel dates, rooms, airfare and supplier terms. Christine confirms the real number for your dates before you commit to anything.
No. Honeymoons are what Christine plans most, and she books anniversary trips, family trips to Rome and the Amalfi Coast, girls' trips, cruises, all-inclusive resorts, group departures and destination weddings on the same page. Anything on the list works for two of you or for twelve. Pick the closest one, or pick custom.
