Our mission

At White Lotus Travel Design, luxury means being taken care of every step of the way. Our mission is to create seamless itineraries that are custom-designed for each traveler.

 

We do this by connecting with our clients, customizing their luxury land or cruise vacation based on their style and preferences, collaborating with trusted partners in the heart of the destination.

 

Our clients enjoy VIP amenities at some of the world’s finest hotels, private services, in-destination support, and exclusive access at world-famous sites, hidden gems, and places they would never know to ask about.

 

We are an LGBTQ+-owned boutique luxury travel agency. Our specialty is culinary travel in Europe, with deep expertise in Italy.
