Serentis Travel
Personalized planning by Brian Hart, specializing in luxury expedition (Antarctica, the Galápagos, the Arctic) and immersive ocean voyages. If another luxury line fits you better, I'll tell you and book it anyway. One advisor start to finish, with perks you can't book direct.
About
I'm Brian Hart, owner of Serentis Travel, and I've been cruising for over 25 years: seventeen voyages across every kind of ship, from family sailings on Disney Cruise Line and Celebrity to ultra-luxury with Silversea.
Today, Serentis Travel specializes in the ultra-luxury lines, for both luxury expedition to the ends of the earth (Antarctica, the Galápagos, Patagonia, the Arctic) and immersive ocean voyages. That focus is deliberate: rather than dabble across every brand afloat, I go deep on the short list that does this kind of travel well, Silversea, Regent, Seabourn, Explora, Ponant and their peers, and I'll tell you plainly which one fits you. Extraordinary trips, but easy to get wrong without guidance: the right line, ship, suite, and season change everything.
That's my job. I curate the voyage around you. You deal with one person, me, from your first question to the day you disembark, never a rotating cast of call-center reps. And because Serentis is part of a global travel network, I secure perks you can't get booking direct: shipboard credit, exclusive experiences, and onboard amenities (and upgrades when a promotion allows). Same fare, more value.
Specialties
Two things, done properly: luxury expedition and immersive ocean, across the handful of ultra-luxury lines that do them well. I go deep on a short list instead of a little of everything, so you get recommendations grounded in the real ships, suites, and seasons, rather than whatever the booking engine surfaces first. Whichever line turns out to fit you best, you book it at the same fare with more value.
My lead specialty: once-in-a-lifetime voyages to Antarctica, the Galápagos, Patagonia, and the Arctic aboard the purpose-built expedition ships of the ultra-luxury lines. These trips are easy to get wrong without guidance, so I match you to the right line, ship, suite, and season, and handle every detail.
Immersive ultra-luxury ocean voyages: rich destinations, destination-driven dining, and small-ship polish, all-suite with butler service, plus the top fare tiers that can bundle airfare and a private chauffeur from your home.
No line is right for everyone, and I don't have a house favorite to push. If Silversea, Regent, Seabourn, Explora, Ponant, or another luxury line is the honest best fit for how you travel, I'll say so and book it, at the same fare with more value. The specialty is depth and straight advice about what's right for you.
Approach
Message me on LinkedIn with a few details about who's traveling and what you're dreaming of. That's all I need to start matching you to the right line, ship, and season. No call required to begin.
Get in touchWe talk it through. I share a few possibilities with the trade-offs spelled out, and we refine together until we've zeroed in on exactly the right trip for you.
Once we have a plan, I handle the details: the bookings, transfers, shore excursions, pre- and post-trip hotels, and any in-cabin requests. You just arrive ready to enjoy it.
Tell me who's traveling and what you have in mind, and I'll match you to the voyage that fits how you travel, plus the perks you can't book direct.
