"Certainly, travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living." — Miriam Beard

Hotel & Cruise Bookings

You know where you're going. Let's make sure you get the most out of it.

One of the best parts of working with a travel advisor is access to perks you simply can't get on your own—room upgrades, welcome amenities, resort credits, and more, often at the same rate you'd find online. A single hotel, a multi-stop trip, a cruise, I'll make sure your experience is elevated before you even arrive.

Please note: While I don’t book Airbnb, I do work with a trusted network of villa and home rental partners if you’re looking for a more private stay.

  • I'm a proud affiliate of Fora, a modern travel agency built for the way people travel today. Through Fora, I have access to a global network of hotel and travel partners, which means I can offer VIP perks, added value, and curated experiences you won't find booking on your own. As your travel advisor, I take care of everything from hotel bookings to full itinerary design. The goal is simple: to make your trip personal, well-crafted, and genuinely worth your time and investment.

  • When you work with me, you're not just booking a trip. You're investing in an experience that's been carefully planned, beautifully executed, and built entirely around you. Here's what that looks like in practice:

    • Built Around You: No generic packages or guesswork. Every trip is designed around your style, preferences, and priorities.

    • Time Back in Your Day: No more endless research or decision fatigue. I handle the details so you can focus on looking forward to your trip.

    • VIP Perks & Added Value: Through my network of partners, you'll have access to room upgrades, resort credits, daily breakfast, and more, often at the same rate you'd find on your own.

    • Dedicated Support: From our first conversation to the moment you return home, you have someone in your corner keeping everything running smoothly.

  • When you book a hotel, resort, or cruise through me, I'm compensated by my travel partners, so there's no additional cost to you. Planning fees apply when I'm creating a fully custom itinerary or sourcing non-commissionable elements, which requires dedicated time and expertise beyond what a standard booking involves. Either way, you receive expert guidance, exclusive perks, and added value, often at the same rate you'd see online, with someone handling the details behind the scenes.

  • Romantic honeymoons, milestone celebrations, curated city breaks, polar expeditions, solo adventures, bucket-list trips… if it matters to you, it matters to me. If something falls outside my specialty, I'll always point you toward a trusted advisor who's the right fit. Because at the end of the day, it's about making sure you have the best possible experience.

  • It's possible you'll come across a lower rate at first glance, but pricing isn't always as straightforward as it seems, and the lowest number doesn't always reflect the best overall experience.

    I work directly with hotel partners to secure the best available rates along with added value: room upgrades, daily breakfast, resort credits, and VIP recognition. Online rates can sometimes exclude taxes and fees, or apply to less desirable room categories. If the rate you've found truly is the best option, I'm happy to book it for you and advocate on your behalf throughout your stay. It's not just about the price, it's about the full experience.

  • My primary focus is designing your overall travel experience, from accommodations and tours to the flow of your itinerary. I can absolutely assist with flights, especially business or first class and private charters. If you prefer to handle your own flights, that works too, I'll make sure everything else is perfectly aligned with your schedule.

  • Payment timelines vary depending on the hotel, cruise line, or tour operator. Some reservations require a credit card to hold the booking, while others may involve a deposit or full payment upfront. Before anything is confirmed, I'll walk you through all payment details and cancellation policies so you know exactly what to expect.

  • Plans shift, and I'm here to help when they do. Just reach out and I'll take care of the changes on your behalf, working with my travel partners to keep everything as smooth as possible. Your trip should feel flexible, not frustrating.

  • You won't be navigating it alone. I'm just a message away and ready to step in, whether it's a delayed flight, a last-minute change, or an issue with your accommodations. From the moment your trip is confirmed to the day you return home, I'm here to troubleshoot and advocate on your behalf. Your peace of mind is part of the experience.

  • That's exactly where I come in. If you're feeling overwhelmed by options, I'll help you narrow things down and find a destination that fits your style, interests, and travel goals. Whether you're craving culture, relaxation, incredible food, or something completely new, I'll guide you with recommendations designed to get you genuinely excited about what's next.

What my clients are saying

  • "We cannot recommend Ana enough! She planned our entire 14-day trip through Zürich and Italy, and it truly exceeded every expectation we had. From carefully selecting amazing hotels to coordinating transportation, activities, and all the little details in between, everything was seamless. What really set Ana apart was how available she was throughout the entire experience. She answered questions before we left, was incredibly responsive while we were traveling, and even followed up after we got home to make sure everything went well. Having someone so knowledgeable and invested in our trip gave us so much peace of mind. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about creating memorable experiences for her clients, and we honestly don’t think our trip would have been the same without her guidance and expertise. If you’re looking for someone who is organized, thoughtful, knowledgeable, and truly goes above and beyond, Ana is the person you want planning your next vacation. We are so grateful for everything she did and will absolutely be using her again for future travels!"

    Mariah & Mark, Italy & Switzerland

  • "Ana Santos was a pleasure to work with. She curated a perfect 2 week trip for my daughter and I. It was a special birthday trip and she had surprises along the way ! Ana is easy to communicate with , was reliable and there every step of the way while we enjoyed Italy. I highly recommend her ! I will definitely use her skills and services again. She’s a gem."

    Cheryl & Maddie, Italy

  • "Thank you for all your help in the planning of our trip. We truly appreciated how responsive you were when we had questions, concerns, or problems. We learned a lot on this trip, especially about the issues one has when traveling as you get older. The lessons learned there will help us as we consider future trips. It's clear that you enjoy what you do and your guidance was invaluable. We'll definitely keep you in mind for us as well as friends and family in planning for the future."

    Barb & Wendy, Dominican Republic

  • "Ana was so attentive to all of our wishes. The trip, itinerary and hotels exceeded all of our expectations!!! I feel like we were able to see everything, and the tours were exceptional. Thank you."

    Kathleen, Iceland

  • “I felt like Ana listened to everything we wanted and perfectly curated an experience based on our preferences. We tried to think of things we would have done differently and literally could not think of any. Spencer and I got engaged at Gullfoss waterfall on the second day of our trip! It was such an amazing day leading up to our proposal with the sightseeing and the tomato greenhouse restaurant. It was perfect timing that right after our proposal we went to a nearby hot spring spa to relax and enjoy time together.”

    Lauren & Spencer, Iceland

  • "I do not possess the vocabulary necessary to express my gratitude for how easy and stressfree Ana made everything, nor to express the beauty of the adventure she curated. I still have all the sweet welcome hotel notes from her! This was my first time utilizing a travel advisor and I'm keeping Ana on retainer for all future travels! Thank you for everything - you helped me have a transformative, cathartic birthday and journey."

    Marjorie, Ireland

  • "Ana went above and beyond to make sure our itinerary and bookings were taken care of. Even when we had some changes to make after booking, Ana made sure everything was set. The travel days were easy and there were no issues checking in or getting on board the cruise. I would definitely recommend Ana to anyone booking a vacation or cruise."

    Luke, Caribbean Cruise

  • “Ana at Wanderlustre Travels is amazing! She planned us a 12 day trip through the Pacific Northwest where we were traveling almost every day. Not only did she organize 12 days of dog friendly lodging but she had given us a list of dog friendly activities at every stop. We had such a great trip!”

    Alexis, Pacific Northwest

  • "Ana always does an excellent job booking our vacations. She is always aware of our needs in a hotel. As an older couple, that means a lot. She gets the best deals at first rate hotels. I can't praise her enough!"

    Mary, Cape Cod

  • "I feel so fortunate to have found Wanderlustre Travels when planning a family trip to Iceland. With not too much notice, Ana put together a fantastic, memorable and manageable adventure for us - she nailed it! Everyday was something spectacular and the destinations and accommodations she recommended were perfect. I will most definitely use Ana again for an upcoming trip and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone planning an upcoming travel adventure."

    Jodi, Iceland

  • "Ana was amazingly helpful for our Ireland trip, helped reassure me through the craziness of international travel, and found us some spectacular tours! I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a top notch trip planner!"

    Ginny, Ireland

  • “This is the second time Ana planned my trip to Europe and I have nothing but amazing things to say about her services. She’s responsive, detail oriented, thorough, sweet, and just so damn good at her job! Grateful for another trip that I’ll cherish the memories forever. Thank you, Ana!”

    Leslie, France

  • "I cannot recommend Ana enough. I don't know how she does it but it feels like she truly tuned into my wants and needs for this booking experience and just did a phenomenal job with it. She's truly my go-to with anything and all travel related. If you're looking for a travel advisor to help you book an unforgettable experience, look no further. Ana has your back."

    Kaitlyn, Tulum & Isla Mujeres

  • "Ana was amazing throughout the whole process. It made this trip stress free and very smooth. She was there every step of the way and was very easy to contact during the trip. We had some last minute changes in which she helped a whole bunch and gave us a solution within minutes! Will most definitely be booking more and more trips with her!"

    Melanie & Anthony, Iceland

  • “Ana was great. I have used other travel agents, and she definiately was better than other ones I have used. Her communication was flawless. Her attention to detail in planning, listening to my wishes, executing the plan, organizing it, etc. - she is great at what she does. She afforded me the best opportunity to have a great trip!”

    Leslie, Portugal

  • "We cannot say enough of our experience with Ana - she is phenomenal! My husband and I were looking for some guidance to plan our honeymoon, and Ana was exactly what we were looking for. From our first call, it was clear Ana is an Iceland expert by the questions she asked and her excitement around helping us. She got to know us, our budget and what we were looking to get out of our trip and she was with us (virtually) every step of the way. Everything on our trip which Ana suggested was worth the hike, or drive - and the fun facts she had included in our itinerary led to really great discussions and learning. Ana was everything we hoped for and more! We can't wait to book our next trip with her!"

    Andrea & Brian, Iceland

  • "Ana was absolutely wonderful and worked with me and my budget to offer several destinations that fit our criteria for a honeymoon, especially when we weren't exactly sure where we wanted to go. She provided a multitude of options with a multitude of places to stay and activities to do. My wife's 40th is next year and we will absolutely use Ana again for future trips."

    Ethan, Sint Maarten

  • "This is my first time using a travel agent, as I feel I’m quite savvy with planning things on my own. Since this is my first mainland European visit, I wanted it to be as stress-free as possible. Ana put together a lovely package with hotel options, local activities, and how to get around the city which made everything so easy. Any questions I had, like early checkin and room upgrade, she was able to assist with. I don’t think I’ll ever be planning a trip without her assistance again :)"

    Heather, Copenhagen

  • "If you're searching for a personable travel advisor to work with, look no further. Ana is your girl. For years, I've been wanting to go to Iceland and I finally have decided to go next summer. I enlisted Ana's help with the length of travel and my itinerary. I swear she tuned into my nonverbal worries I had and answered them with incredible solutions. She sent me a beautifully crafted itinerary and I could not be happier. I cannot recommend Ana enough."

    Kate, Iceland

  • "Ana has been indispensable in helping me get out to see the places I never thought I’d see. Her detail-oriented and in-depth preparation in crafting itineraries and accommodation plans allowed me to road trip and explore locations like Iceland, Saint Martin, Portugal, the UK, and the Pacific Northwest with a fun mix of adventure and leisure. She has a real talent for understanding travel logistics, navigating everything from cultural nuance to time management and of course, finding those insta-worthy sights that turn those daydream-trips into reality."
