Founded by Janet Abbey, a seasoned event planner and passionate world traveler, Travels with Sterling was created for vibrant, self-assured women who crave more than cookie-cutter itineraries and impersonal bookings. We believe that travel should be equal parts elegance, adventure, and personal connection \u2014 and that the journey begins the moment you start dreaming.<br \/>\nOur Purpose<br \/>\nMany women in their 50s, 60s, and beyond find themselves at a turning point \u2014 ready to explore, but looking for experiences that feel safe, meaningful, and perfectly tailored. Travels with Sterling exists to take the overwhelm out of planning, replace it with inspiration, and design travel that feels like it was made just for you. Whether it\u2019s your first solo trip, a luxury cruise, or a curated girlfriends\u2019 getaway, we make sure you feel supported, confident, and excited every step of the way.<br \/>\nWho We Serve<br \/>\nOur ideal traveler is a woman 55+, often still working part-time or recently retired, who values boutique hotels over big box resorts, authentic experiences over tourist traps, and warm, attentive service over faceless transactions. She\u2019s stylish, health-conscious, and ready to invest in herself \u2014 whether that\u2019s a quiet Tuscan villa stay, a culture-rich river cruise, or a bucket-list adventure she\u2019s been waiting years to take.<br \/>\nWhat Sets Us Apart<br \/>\nA Deeply Personal Approach<br \/>\nEvery trip begins with a conversation \u2014 not a questionnaire. We listen to your stories, your hesitations, your must-haves, and even your \u201cI\u2019m not sure yet\u201d ideas. From there, we craft a journey that reflects your personality, your pace, and your dreams.<br \/>\nCurated for Women 55+<br \/>\nWe specialize in understanding the needs and desires of mature women travelers. That means itineraries with a balance of activity and rest, accommodations chosen for comfort and charm, and experiences that offer both independence and companionship.<br \/>\nLuxury Without Pretension<br \/>\nWe believe \u201cluxury\u201d is about thoughtfulness, not just price tags. It\u2019s the perfectly timed airport transfer, the quiet table with a view, the guide who shares a story that stays with you forever. We deliver those details seamlessly, so you can simply enjoy.<br \/>\nSafety &amp; Peace of Mind<br \/>\nFrom vetted local guides to carefully selected hotels, we ensure every detail is handled with your comfort and security in mind. We provide travel safety tips and resources for women \u2014 empowering you to travel boldly while feeling supported.<br \/>\nThe Sterling Stowaway Experience<br \/>\nOur signature touch \u2014 bringing along our \u201cSterling Stowaway\u201d mascot on your trip \u2014 adds an element of playfulness and connection. Your adventures become part of our larger community story, inspiring other women to embark on their own.<br \/>\nOur Services<br \/>\nCustom Trip Planning \u2014 Fully tailored itineraries for solo, couple, or group travel.<br \/>\nLuxury Cruises &amp; River Cruises \u2014 Partnerships with top lines like Viking, Silversea, and Windstar.<br \/>\nGirlfriends\u2019 Getaways \u2014 From wine country escapes to spa retreats, designed for bonding and joy.<br \/>\nDestination Celebrations \u2014 Birthdays, anniversaries, or milestones made unforgettable.<br \/>\nHoneymoon &amp; Babymoon Planning \u2014 For women re-marrying, celebrating later-in-life love, or planning for family milestones.<br \/>\nOur Philosophy<br \/>\nTravel isn\u2019t just about the places you see \u2014 it\u2019s about how those places make you feel. At Travels with Sterling, we focus on moments that matter: the sunset toast in Santorini, the laughter over dinner in Provence, the quiet morning walk along a beach you have to yourself. These are the memories you\u2019ll carry home, and the ones that inspire your next journey.<br \/>\nJoin the Sterling Circle<br \/>\nWhen you travel with us, you join a community of women who share your curiosity, your standards, and your love of connection.
