Meet Kathryn

Travel has been a lifelong passion and an important part of my life. Throughout my career supporting senior executives, I made the most of every opportunity to explore the world, traveling throughout Europe, the Mediterranean, the Middle East, Canada, Hawaii, Alaska, Mexico, and across the United States.

Cruising is one of my favorite ways to explore the world. Whether sailing through the Mediterranean, discovering Europe's historic ports, or experiencing the natural beauty of Alaska and Mexico, I enjoy the unique blend of discovery, comfort, and exceptional service that cruising offers. I especially value the opportunity for pre- and post-cruise stays, allowing me to immerse myself more fully in the culture, history, cuisine, and character of each destination.

After retiring, I combined my lifelong passion for travel with decades of executive-level planning and organizational experience to create Elysian Travels. My goal is simple: to help clients enjoy elevated, personalized, seamless travel experiences and create memories that last a lifetime.

My specialty is crafting luxury ocean and river voyages paired with custom pre- and post-cruise land stays, ensuring every segment of your journey—from departure to return—is curated with meticulous care.

I look forward to helping you create your next unforgettable journey.
