About Me

The Family that travels together...stays together.
The Family that travels together...stays together.

Welcome!

I’m Anthony Cooper, your personal Cruise and Luxury Travel Advisor—here to help you travel brilliantly.If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by online booking engines, confused by inconsistent cruise pricing, or tired of scripted call center agents who’ve never stepped foot on a ship, you’re not alone.

That’s why I created a better way—The Cruise Studio.

As a CLIA-Certified Cruise Specialist (ACC) with over 10 years of experience designing premium-to-luxury travel itineraries, I curate unforgettable Cruise, Resort, and Global Tour experiences for sophisticated travelers like you. My clients are often active, semi- to fully-retired adventurers who want to explore the world in style without the stress of planning.Whether you're dreaming of sailing Alaska’s majestic fjords, exploring the cobblestone streets of Italy and Ireland, cruising through the turquoise waters of the Caribbean or Mexican Riviera, or walking the sacred paths of the Holy Land, I help turn those dreams into personalized, high-touch journeys that leave you with lifelong memories.

?? Cruise Planning Is My Signature Service

I’ve logged hundreds of nights at sea and on board training with leading cruise lines including:

  • Viking River, Ocean & Expedition Cruises
  • Oceania Cruises
  • Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL)
  • Virgin Voyages
  • Cunard Line
  • Royal Caribbean
  • MSC Cruises

I know the differences between them who offers fine dining vs. fun casual vibes, who shines in Alaska vs. the Med, and who’s best for solo travelers, romantic getaways, or multi-Gen families. You’re not just choosing a ship, you’re selecting a lifestyle experience. Let me help you choose the right one.

?? Resorts & All-Inclusive Retreats

Some of life’s best moments happen under a palapa with a cocktail in hand. I’m certified with Sandals, AMResorts (Secrets, Dreams, Zoëtry), and Palace Resorts. Whether you’re celebrating a honeymoon, milestone birthday, or just need a sun-soaked reset, I’ll match you to the perfect Caribbean or Mexican resort.

?? Land Tours, Europe, and Religious Travel

I also plan exceptional land-based adventures across Europe and beyond through:CIE Tours and Celtic Tours (Ireland & Scotland Experts)Globus Family of BrandsLuxury Hotels of the WorldCustom religious pilgrimages in Italy, Israel, and moreFrom Vatican tours to Guinness pours, I’ll help you uncover both the spiritual and spectacular sides of travel.

?? Concierge-Level Planning with Heart

Travel is personal. That’s why I offer concierge-level planning rooted in empathy, knowledge, and professionalism. You’ll get expert advice, supplier-direct relationships, and real-world experience (yes, I’ve personally stayed in over 745 hotels worldwide!).I don’t just book travel—I help you invest your free time wisely, because I believe luxury is less about price and more about personalization.

A Passion for Travel

I love to cruise - my passion for travel began when I was a kid watching Love Boat, Fantasy Island and, believe it or not, Charlie's Angels. I loved watching all the cool places, cities, countries, ports of call, and experiences. I dreamed of it. And then, one day, I decided to do something about my passion for travel. I went back and got my certifications and became a travel advisor. Now I own my own agency. We're always looking for other travel lovers who want to earn money helping others travel better. You can do it to. Take your passion for travel to a new level. Contact us to join our team.

Family Fun

It's hard to plan a vacation a year in advance, on a cruise, when your family is also hosting an exchange student from another country. But, we've managed to do just that, a few times.
