Luxury travel advisor with LuxRally Travel
Luxury travel planning with a real person behind it
I am Carrie Hays, a Lexington, Kentucky-based luxury travel advisor serving clients nationwide. I help plan and book luxury hotels, cruises, villas, family trips, groups, and private client travel without charging planning or booking fees.
Quick answer
What can a luxury travel advisor handle?
A luxury travel advisor can help compare hotels, cruise lines, rooms, suites, rates, benefits, transfers, and the structure of the trip before anything is booked. I narrow the choices, explain the trade-offs, make the reservations, and stay available when details change.
Choose your starting point
What are you planning?
Luxury hotels
Property fit, room-category strategy, flexible terms, and preferred partner benefits when available.
Luxury cruises
Line, ship, itinerary, cabin, inclusions, and the logistics before and after the sailing.
Family travel
Room layouts, school breaks, pacing, transfers, and plans that work for different ages.
Groups and private clients
Coordinated support for multiple rooms, family offices, assistants, principals, and milestone travel.
How I work
A clear path from idea to departure
- Start with the real constraints. Tell me the dates, travelers, budget comfort, priorities, and what would make the trip wrong.
- Compare a useful short list. I look at fit, total value, cancellation terms, room or cabin details, and the logistics around the booking.
- Book through the right channel. I handle reservations and request available benefits, notes, and preferences.
- Keep one person involved. You have an advisor who knows the trip if a question or change comes up.
No-fee planning
Advisor help does not add a fee
I do not charge any fees to my clients. No booking fees, no planning fees, for any travel. I am compensated by travel suppliers after travel.
Trips with two moving parts
Plan the transitions, not only the headline booking
A trip can look simple online and still hinge on transfer time, arrival buffers, or whether two stays belong together. See my guides to luxury hotel hops and cruise plus hotel planning for two common examples.
Common questions
Before you reach out
What does Carrie Hays help clients book?
I help clients plan and book luxury hotels, cruises, villas, family and multigenerational trips, groups, and private client travel.
Do you charge planning or booking fees?
I do not charge any fees to my clients. No booking fees, no planning fees, for any travel. My clients never pay more by booking with me than they would have paid booking the same public rate on their own, and in many cases they receive more value.
Can you help if I already found a hotel or cruise online?
Yes. Send me the hotel or cruise, dates, room or cabin category, rate, and who is traveling. I can check the fit, booking path, available benefits, current offers, and whether a different option would serve the trip better.
