Sip, Sail & Explore: Italy & Croatia 2027

A couple of weeks ago, I shared with my newsletter community that I was working on something special for 2027… and I’m so excited to finally share the first fully confirmed group with you.

Because you’re part of my exclusive newsletter list, you’re hearing about this before it’s announced anywhere else.

September 17–27, 2027

10 Nights | Best of Italy & Croatia

Onboard the Celebrity Constellation

This isn’t just any sailing — it’s a thoughtfully chosen itinerary on a cruise line that offers that beautiful balance of elevated experience and smart value.

I chose Celebrity because it’s refined without being stuffy, known for exceptional cuisine, attentive service, and a more relaxed, sophisticated atmosphere. The Constellation is one of their smaller ships — still family-friendly, but it’s adults oriented without waterparks and big theme-park features. That means you’ll find far fewer children onboard, as most families gravitate to the larger ships.  It creates a more European-style cruising experience, which feels just right for this itinerary.

And speaking of the itinerary… I truly couldn’t resist it.

Italy is timeless. Croatia is breathtaking. Montenegro is a hidden gem. And cruising allows you to unpack once while waking up in a new destination almost every day.

Itinerary Highlights

And here’s something special:

Anyone who secures their spot before March 15th will receive an additional $100 onboard credit per stateroom.

For solo travellers — while I can’t guarantee roommate placement, I will absolutely do my best to help match you if you’re open to sharing.

This group is perfect for couples, solo travellers, and anyone who’s been dreaming of Europe but wants the guidance and structure of traveling together. We’ll have pre-trip meetups (virtual and in person), go over packing, excursions, and everything you need to feel confident. You can be as involved with the group as you like — or enjoy independent time when you prefer.

I’ll be hosting a welcome cocktail gathering onboard so we can begin the journey properly — because travel has always been about more than just destinations. It’s about shared experiences, good company, and memories that last for decades.

Airfare, pre/post hotels, and transfers are not included in the cruise fare — but I will coordinate everything seamlessly for you. Medical out-of-province insurance is also available and highly recommended. 

In April, I’ll be hosting our first

King Luxe Travel Virtual Exclusive Cruise Event,

where you’ll learn more about Celebrity, the ship, and the destinations of the itinerary. Then in July, we’ll gather in person here in the Collingwood area.

If this itinerary has been quietly sitting on your bucket list, this may be your moment.

No pressure — simply reach out if you’d like pricing details, cabin options, or to have a conversation about whether this is the right fit for you.

September 2027 will be here before we know it. 🌿
