Meet Kelly
Luxury travel & cruise specialist. Certified advisor. Your trip, elevated.
Your Vacation, My Passion
I'm Kelly Bonatsakis — a CLIA and IATA certified travel advisor based in Glastonbury, Connecticut who genuinely loves what she does. For over a decade, I've been helping clients plan trips worth remembering.
My focus is luxury and premium travel — high-end cruises, upscale all-inclusive resorts, European tours, and curated experiences. I plan family trips and theme-park vacations too, but where I really shine is helping you elevate the experience.
I'm independently affiliated with World Via, a host agency that is part of the Travel Leaders network. That means real industry access and exclusive rates, backed by a trusted professional network.
Luxury & High-End Travel Is My Specialty
When my clients want something elevated — a luxury or premium cruise, an adults-only resort, an over-water suite, or a once-in-a-lifetime celebration — that's exactly the kind of trip I love to plan. My focus is high-end cruising and upscale resorts, where the details make all the difference.
Through World Via and the Travel Leaders network, I have access to exclusive rates, suite upgrades, and onboard amenities you won't find booking on your own. From premium cruise lines and luxury all-inclusives to curated Mediterranean and Greek-isles itineraries, I help you travel beautifully — with every detail handled.
Premium Cruising, Done Right
There's nothing quite like waking up to a new destination every morning. Cruising is one of my favorite ways to travel, and I focus on premium and luxury sailings — from Celebrity and Royal Caribbean's flagship ships to Mediterranean and Greek-isles voyages. I've sailed widely, from private islands to exotic ports of call.
I know which suites and cabins are truly worth it, which shore excursions earn every penny, and how to make the most of every sea day. Through my network I also have access to exclusive rates, onboard credits, and amenities — perks you won't find booking on your own.
A Disney Specialist, Too
Disney is where so many families make their best memories, and it's a world I know firsthand. I've explored all four Walt Disney World parks and stayed at several on-property resorts, so I can help you pick the right park days, resorts, and hard-to-get dining.
I've also sailed Disney Cruise Line — the Magic, Treasure, Dream, and Fantasy — and love matching families to the right ship and itinerary. From a first Magic Kingdom visit to a Caribbean Disney cruise, I'll handle the planning so you can focus on the magic.

I Travel Like You Do
As a mom of three, I understand the joys (and challenges!) of traveling with family. I know what it's like to coordinate a trip across generations, find experiences that delight kids and adults alike, and make sure everyone — from toddlers to grandparents — has an incredible time.
My husband and I also love our couples' getaways — from tropical all-inclusive resorts to luxury beach escapes. Whatever kind of trip you're looking for, I've probably lived it myself, and I bring that firsthand experience to every vacation I plan for my clients.
