About Us
Luxury travel guidance led by Kanti Acharya.
I help travelers choose better-fit river cruises, small ship cruises, safaris, and other curated luxury vacations with less overwhelm and clearer tradeoffs.
The Company
Luxury Vacations Consulting
We are a mom and daughter partnership. I started the company because I got tired of comparing cruise lines, resorts, hotels with endless Google searches. Everyone had an opinion but no one could translate that opinion to why I should choose one over the other.
So I created my own planning process. The planning approach is built around fit. Instead of treating every cruise line, resort, or safari lodge as interchangeable, we compare the real differences in pacing, inclusions, service style, cabin or room choice, transfers, seasonality, and total trip logistics.
