Our story
Luxury Travel Professionals wasn't built around a business plan—it was built around our clients.
For more than 35 years, we've earned the trust of travelers who first came to us through Cruise Travel Outlet. As those clients' travel evolved, so did ours. They began asking us to plan luxury cruises, custom itineraries, private tours, and once-in-a-lifetime experiences. We listened, delivered, and over time, luxury travel became our specialty.
Today, we continue to do what we've always done: build lasting relationships and create extraordinary travel experiences designed around each client's unique vision.
At Luxury Travel Professionals, exceptional service is our standard. We believe luxury isn't just about five-star hotels or first-class flights—it's about thoughtful planning, personalized expertise, and knowing there's a team looking out for you before, during, and after every journey.
Every trip includes:
Clear, timely communication
Personalized recommendations tailored to your travel style
Proactive planning and expert guidance
A dedicated team working behind the scenes
Support every step of the way
What truly sets us apart is our collaborative approach. Our advisors each specialize in specific destinations, cruise lines, and styles of travel. Rather than asking every advisor to know everything, we connect you with the person whose expertise is the best fit for your journey. That means every recommendation comes from someone who knows your destination inside and out—not someone simply making a booking.
You're never just another reservation to us. You're a valued client with a team of experienced travel professionals dedicated to making every trip seamless, memorable, and uniquely yours.
That's the Luxury Travel Professionals difference.
