    • A Note From Sarah

    Let's plan something worth remembering.

    I'm Sarah Riley, co-founder of Travel Squad Vacations. I've been planning travel professionally since 2021, and I've been the family trip planner for as long as I can remember. I'm the advisor clients call when the trip simply has to be perfect.

    I work with families, couples, multigenerational travelers, seasoned explorers, and destination wedding guests. My specialty is elevated travel that balances real luxury with smart value: all-inclusive Caribbean escapes, bucket-list European itineraries, and complex multi-cabin group cruises.

    Both of my kids are dairy and gluten free, so traveling with food allergies isn't theoretical for me. It's every trip we take. I know which resort kitchens and cruise dining teams genuinely take it seriously, how to confirm safe options before you board, and how to pack for travel days so no one is stuck hungry at 30,000 feet. If you're planning around dietary needs, you're in the right hands.

    Professional Network — I'm a cornerstone member of the Carrollwood BNI Chapter and a CLIA-credentialed advisor, which keeps me plugged into Tampa's strongest small-business community and the cruise industry's leading association.

    If you're planning something that matters, I'd love to hear about it.

    Trips I've loved.

    A small sample of the journeys I've designed — and the moments that still make me smile.

    Alaska · With My Kids

    Alaska · With My Kids

    Alaska with my kids. It felt like God's country — so much untouched wilderness, and the feeling of standing somewhere truly vast stayed with all of us.

    Greece · The Islands

    Greece · The Islands

    Greece stole a piece of my heart. The islands, the food, the culture — I came home changed.

    Scotland · Regent Seven Seas

    Scotland · Regent Seven Seas

    Scotland on Regent Seven Seas. Misty castles, windswept coastlines, and the kind of seamless luxury that spoiled me for other cruise lines.

    Caribbean · Icon of the Seas

    Caribbean · Icon of the Seas

    Spring break on Icon of the Seas with friends and family. Loud, joyful, chaotic in the best way — proof that big-ship cruising done right is still magic.

    Riviera Maya · Secrets Moxché

    Riviera Maya · Secrets Moxché

    Secrets Moxché with my husband. Quiet mornings, slow dinners, and the kind of adults-only escape every couple needs once a year.

    Mediterranean · Crystal · September 2026

    UPCOMING

    Mediterranean · Crystal · September 2026

    Up next: Athens to Rome aboard Crystal in September 2026. Small-ship luxury through the Mediterranean I've been dreaming about for years.
