Curated Voyages by Melody

Luxury is personal.
So is every journey we create.

Perhaps it is an unhurried dinner overlooking the Adriatic. A quiet morning on your private terrace. Or the pleasure of arriving somewhere new with every detail already considered.

Whatever luxury means to you, we begin there. From finding your ideal ship and suite to arranging the days before and after you sail, Melody brings personal attention and thoughtful guidance to the entire experience.

Melody Laughlin, founder of Curated Voyages
Your travel advisor. Your thoughtful guide.

A personal connection.
An exceptional journey.

I’m Melody Laughlin, founder of Curated Voyages and owner of The Cruise Travellers LLC. I believe the best travel begins with a conversation, about what inspires you, how you love to spend your days, and the details that make you feel truly at ease.

My love of writing and history follows me into every port. I look beyond a list of sights to the stories, flavors, and small discoveries that make a place memorable. I bring that same curiosity and care to planning your travels.

From a luxury suite to a culturally rich river journey, I will help you choose an experience that feels like you.

What does concierge planning include?

Planning can include ship and suite selection, itinerary matching, curated shore experiences, hotel and private transfer coordination, and pre- or post-cruise arrangements. Your agreed scope and planning fee are outlined before work begins.

How do planning fees work?

Luxury cruise planning starts at $250 per booking for one sailing and up to two travelers. World cruises and extended voyages of 21 or more days start at $500. Custom land or pre- and post-cruise extensions start at $150 per destination. Air and hotel coordination booked separately starts at $75. Fees are due when planning begins and are non-refundable, whether or not travel is booked. We confirm the scope and applicable fee with you in advance.

Can you help with accessibility and mobility considerations?

Yes. Tell Melody about mobility, accessibility, dietary, or other practical needs early in the planning process. These details help guide ship, accommodation, transfer, and excursion selection. Availability and suitability are confirmed with the relevant providers.

Are cruise inclusions and advisor amenities guaranteed?

Inclusions depend on the cruise line, ship, suite, fare, and sailing. Any available onboard credits or other advisor amenities will be confirmed for your specific booking before you commit.
