"Unforgettable Family Escapes  Crafted With Care"

Travel isn’t just about where you go — it’s how you experience it together. Discover curated all-inclusive resorts, kid-approved European gems, family-focused cruises, and private Disney adventures only available through our exclusive planning service.

As a father, a traveler, and the founder of Lap of Luxury Travel, I know firsthand how important it is to get every detail right when you're traveling with family. These aren't just vacations — they're the memories your kids will carry for a lifetime.

That’s why we don’t offer cookie-cutter trips. We take time to understand your family’s unique needs, interests, and rhythms — whether you’re planning your first Disney adventure, an island escape, a cultural tour through Europe, or a luxury safari in Africa. We handle everything behind the scenes, from flights and private transfers to dining reservations, park access, and daily activities — all so you can focus on the joy of being together.

And when you book with us, you’re getting more than a travel planner — you’re getting our Platinum Concierge Service. That means 24/7 support, insider access, and a dedicated expert making sure everything runs smoothly from the moment you reach out to the moment you return home.

So whether you're dreaming of a beachfront villa in Hawaii, a suite on a family-friendly cruise, or cheering together at the 2026 Winter Olympics, we’re here to make it happen — effortlessly, luxuriously, and 100% tailored to you.
