Milestone journeys
Anniversaries, significant birthdays, retirements and multi-generational weeks. Designed around the occasion rather than around a destination template.

Kingfisher Luxury Travel
The journeys you will still be talking about in ten years
Milestone and celebration travel, crafted for connection. Custom journeys and curated cruises, with our deepest expertise in Europe.
Who we serve
Travelers marking something
An anniversary that deserves more than a dinner. A retirement finally arriving. A family scattered across time zones who want one week in the same place. A first crossing, taken properly.
Our clients travel well and have limited patience for the research it now takes to travel well. They want judgement rather than options, and someone who answers the phone when a flight fails on a Sunday evening.
We plan worldwide, and we are at our sharpest in Europe and at sea.
Two ways we serve you
Custom journeys, and cruises chosen for the traveler
Curated cruises
River, ocean, small-ship and expedition. We match the ship, the season and the cabin to the traveler — not the other way around.
Explore cruisesHow it works
Four steps, and very little from you
01
Tell us the occasion
A short intake, or a discovery call. We listen for the trip underneath the request.
02
We design it
Routing, timing, properties and the pace of the days — proposed as a plan, not a menu.
03
We book and confirm
Everything held, confirmed and documented, with partner benefits applied where available.
04
We stay with you
A direct line while you travel, and someone who can act if something moves.
Trusted partnerships
Networks that reach your trip
Fora & Virtuoso
Networks that deliver benefits directly to you: preferred rates where they exist, hotel breakfast, property credits and upgrades subject to availability, plus on-the-ground contacts in the places you are going.
ASTA & CLIA
Professional associations governing standards, ethics and continuing education for travel advisors. They benefit you indirectly — through the standard of the advice you receive.
Meet your advisors
Kari and Schelli
Two advisors, one standard of care. You work with both of us.
Schelli Bettega
Co-Founder · Client Experience Manager · Travel Advisor
Schelli holds the details — the arrival that lands late, the room that faces the wrong way, the reservation that needs moving twice.
Kari Bradbury
Co-Founder · Sales & Marketing Director · Travel Advisor
Kari listens for the trip underneath the request — the occasion, the pace, the reason this particular year matters.

Cruising Alaska in late May and early June: the quiet, luminous end of the season
We sailed Star Princess® through the Inside Passage ourselves in 2026 — notebooks out, the two of us walking every deck — and the question we've been asked most since is simply when.

The Great Lakes and Alaska aboard a small American ship, and who this kind of travel genuinely suits
Hosted group sailing
Alaska aboard Star Princess, May 28 – June 4, 2028
Seven nights round-trip from Seattle through the Inside Passage — and we will be aboard the whole time. Cabins are limited, and the ones people ask for first go first.
