Why Plan your next vacation with Vie de Luxe Travel?

Travel is one of life's greatest investments—yet most people spend less time planning a trip than choosing a new appliance. That gap costs money, missed experiences, and the joy that a truly well-planned journey delivers.

At Vie de Luxe Travel, I close that gap for you.

I'm Christina Monk—luxury travel consultant, owner of Vie de Luxe Travel, Forbes and Fodor's contributor, and a tri-national who grew up between the UK and France, with family roots in St Emilion, and more. I've spent 15 years designing bespoke journeys for discerning travelers, and here's what working with me actually means:

✦ Insider access you can't find online. As a CLIA- and IATA-certified consultant with Signature Travel Network connections, I secure exclusive onboard credits, room upgrades, and added perks on cruise lines including Explora Journeys, Viking Ocean & River, and AmaWaterways—often at the same price as booking direct- or less! Added amenties to 1000s of hotels including room upgrades, free breakfast daily and more.

✦ A consultant who has actually been there. My European expertise isn't from a brochure. I've organized group trips to Lisbon, Barcelona, Paris, the South of France, Rome, and Florence and more. I've been on dozens of cruise ships. I've sailed Explora Journeys twice. When I recommend a hotel or a guide, it's because I know it personally. I've traveled to over 30 countries and at least 20 of these with 3 children of all ages, and groups up to 20. I know and love travel.

✦ Itineraries built around you. Whether you're an empty nester ready to rediscover the world, a couple dreaming of a Mediterranean escape, or a family navigating multigenerational travel—I design every detail around your priorities, not a template. I've been there- done that and learned from my own mistakes so you don't have to.

✦ Total peace of mind. I handle all the logistics end-to-end, and I'm available when things go sideways. While you travel I'm available 24/7. You travel; I manage.

✦ No added cost to you. I earn commissions from hotels and cruise lines—not from you. My expertise costs you nothing extra, and often saves you more than you'd expect. Certainly your sanity.

I'd love to start a conversation about where you'd like to go next.

Warm regards,
