Luxury Travel, River Cruises, Europe & Beyond

Hi, I’m Asia Lantz! I’m an award-winning travel advisor, business owner, storyteller, and passionate explorer with over a decade of experience helping clients turn their travel dreams into seamless, joy-filled realities.

I’m the founder and owner of Travel with Asia & Gilded Getaways, a boutique travel agency home to a growing team of travel advisors, while continuing to personally work one-on-one with my own clients. Together, we help travelers experience the world with expert guidance, personalized service, and thoughtfully designed itineraries from start to finish.

My work has been recognized throughout the travel industry. I was honored to be named the 2025 ASTA Travel Advisor of the Year, received the 2026 ASTA Globes Group Travel Innovator Award, was recognized as one of TravelPulse's 40 Under 40, and frequently speak at industry conferences, mentoring fellow travel advisors on building exceptional client experiences.

I specialize in custom European + Southeast Asian itineraries, romantic getaways, honeymoon & luxury river cruises, and hosted group travel. From first-time travelers to seasoned adventurers, I design every trip around your travel style, not a one-size-fits-all vacation package.

Having explored more than 25 countries myself, I believe firsthand experience is one of the greatest tools I can offer my clients. I've trekked to Everest Base Camp, road-tripped across New Zealand by campervan, sailed Europe's rivers with multiple cruise lines, hosted my own luxury group departures, and continue to travel extensively each year to personally experience the hotels, destinations, and experiences I recommend.

Couples especially love working with me to create unforgettable honeymoons and milestone vacations. Whether that's an overwater bungalow in the Maldives, an epic journey through Italy and France, a safari in Africa, or a luxury Caribbean escape, I make the planning process enjoyable, stress-free, and completely customized. From knowing when it's worth splurging to finding those unforgettable hidden experiences, I help you maximize both your vacation and your investment.

River cruising remains one of my greatest passions. Whether you're sipping Port wine along Portugal's Douro River, wandering medieval villages along the Rhine, exploring the Danube's grand capitals, or experiencing Europe's magical Christmas Markets, I'll help you choose the perfect itinerary, cruise line, stateroom, and every detail surrounding your journey, including airfare, hotels, transfers, and private touring.

Hosted group travel has also become one of my signature specialties. I love creating immersive, thoughtfully curated group experiences that combine the ease of traveling with an expert and the opportunity to build meaningful connections with fellow travelers along the way.

But my real specialty is making travel feel effortless, meaningful, and uniquely yours. I believe the best vacations begin with listening. I take the time to understand what excites you, what matters most to you, and how you want your trip to feel. My clients know me for my organization, creativity, honest advice, and straightforward approach. I handle the logistics so you can focus on making memories.

When I'm not planning unforgettable journeys, you'll usually find me hiking Arizona's desert trails with my husband and our three rescue dogs, or researching our next adventure somewhere around the world.

If you're looking for an award-winning travel advisor who combines firsthand destination expertise, personalized service, and meticulous planning with genuine enthusiasm for helping people experience the world, I'd be honored to help you plan your next adventure.
