Why should I work with Curated by Laura Poe?
(9)

I love getting to know my clients to understand their preferences so I can design the very best experiences. I take care of all the details from research to booking, checking in with you throughout your trip to ensure everything is going well and connecting when you return to further refine your preferences. As an affiliate of Travel Planners International, I have access to industry leading perks

and amenities through the Signature Travel Network as well top tier industry affiliations. As a Top 100 Travel Advisor in North American and Top 10 in North and Central Florida with Virgin Voyages, I have found a special niche in premium cruising. Travel is a passion for many people but it’s also part art and part science. Don’t leave your dream vacation to chance — work with us to create an experience of a lifetime. With high attention to detail, relationships with the best suppliers in the business, as well as communication before, during and after your trip, we go above and beyond for clients. The icing on the cake — We’re able to offer industry leading perks and access to amenities through an established network with Virtuoso and other industry leading partners. What type of travel do you specialize in? From tropical getaways to snowy mountain retreats, we can help plan the perfect trip wherever you’re going. We specialize in learning about our guests preferences and then pairing them with 4 or 5-star accommodations to meet their needs and identifying all the best things to do and places to enjoy while there. When should I start the travel planning process? While we know how to make it work in a pinch, our best work is done with plenty of time to craft the perfect itinerary. Depending on your vacation details, we recommend beginning the planning process 6-12 months in advance. Will pricing be the same as what I see online? When you book with Curated by Laura Poe, you can have confidence that we have access to exclusive industry rates, promotions, and amenities for clients. While we know you can search online booking engines on your own, often we are able to save you money, add a higher value to the trip, or both! We work with best in class suppliers, which allows us to provide you with the VIP treatment and perks you can’t access on your own. What if I need to cancel my travel? We understand that plans change, especially now during the pandemic. We highly recommend booking insurance through one of our trusted partners to ensure you’re covered when things come up so that we can help you navigate the cancellation process if need be. Depending on your specific travel details, you may incur cancellation fees.

Pro Tip: We always recommend arriving to your departure port at least one day before your cruise. Not only does this provide peace of mind if you encounter travel delays, it also gives you the opportunity to experience another destination! 🎉 So what’s the best way for a foodie to spend a day in Miami before a cruise? The Little Havana Food and Walking Tour, of course! You’ll get a taste of the vibrant Cuban culture at Domino Park and explore the delicious food scene of Calle Ocho, sampling everything from a classic mojito, to a Cuban sandwiche, empanada, and guava pastelito 😍 You’ll even get to see master rollers craft Cubano ci**rs. It’s such a fun way to experience the beautiful Cuban culture in Miami! Reach out and we’ll help you maximize your pre-cruise experience!

Have you considered a river cruise? We're thrilled to be confirmed for the American Society of Travel Advisor's River Cruise Expo next year in Vienna, Austria! This is the largest river cruise event in the world, with the top 10 river cruise lines and their ships available to experience firsthand.

In addition to touring each river cruise ship, we'll have the opportunity to network with their leadership teams and enjoy lunches, dinners, and special events onboard.

During the Expo, we'll be staying onboard the beautiful Scenic Opal, which features all-inclusive, luxurious touches like private butler service, full step-out balconies instead of the French-style balconies found on most river ships, an in-suite mini-bar that's restocked daily, and even a salt therapy lounge! 😍

After the Expo, we're joining ASTA President Zane Kirby for a four-night Danube River cruise on the Riverside Mozart. I've heard Riverside is a perfect choice for foodies, and it's also been called "the Virgin Voyages of river cruise", so you know we have to experience this one! The Mozart has an indoor pool and whirlpool bath, spa, and even outdoor gardens on the top deck!

After that, we'll take the train to Budapest for another exciting river cruise adventure onboard Avalon Waterways, where we'll explore even more of the Danube!

This may sound like A LOT of river cruising, but this was all intentional by design. Experiencing different river cruise lines helps us best pair our fabulous clients with their ideal vacations.
