Travel Worth Slowing Down For 

Personalized travel planning for elevated all-inclusive resorts, ocean cruises, and river cruises, thoughtfully tailored to the way you prefer to travel.

Leave the Details to Me

Your journey begins with me learning your travel style, preferences and priorities, then thoughtfully curating recommendations around what matters most to you. 

From selecting the right resort or cruise to coordinating the finer details of your journey, I provide attentive guidance from start to finish—making the planning feel effortless and the experience distinctly yours.

What I Plan Best

  • Choosing the right resort begins with me understanding how you want to experience your time away. I recommend properties based on what matters most to you—from the destination and atmosphere to the experiences you want to enjoy.  

  • Every cruise offers a different way to experience the world. I select the cruise experience that best suits the way you prefer to travel—from the itinerary and pace to the ship and experiences along the way.

  • Milestone journeys deserve thoughtful planning. Whether you’re celebrating a honeymoon, anniversary, milestone birthday or a long-awaited family retreat, I create travel experiences within my areas of specialization that reflect the occasion, with details that make the journey feel truly special. 

HOW IT WORKS

  • Make Time for What Matters

    Travel gives us the opportunity to slow down, reconnect and savour the moments that matter. Whether you’re discovering somewhere new, celebrating something special, reconnecting with the people you love, or simply taking time away, those moments deserve to be thoughtfully planned and fully experienced.

Meet Cristina

Founder, Cristina Coates Travel

Travel has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up in a family with Italian heritage, I spent my summers in Italy, where I developed a lasting appreciation for culture, connection and the simple pleasure of experiencing a different way of life. 

Those experiences continue to shape the way I approach travel today. La Dolce Vita means “the sweet life”—a way of slowing down, being present and savouring the moments that matter. I believe a memorable journey is about more than where you go—it’s about how you experience it, the people you share it with and the moments you take home. 

Based in Orangeville, Ontario, I curate travel experiences for clients across Canada.
