Luxury World & Grand
Voyage Specialists
The World Changes Those Who Explore It
Who We Are & What We Do
Ace Travel is a specialist travel consultancy dedicated exclusively to luxury World and Grand Voyages. We work with a carefully selected group of luxury cruise lines with established World Voyage programs.
We help discerning travelers compare, select and plan the voyage that best fits their travel style, preferences and priorities through expert guidance and personalized service.
Planning a World Voyage is very different from booking a typical cruise. With months of travel, dozens of destinations, complex itineraries, different levels of inclusions and a significant financial investment, there is far more to consider.
Our role is to make those choices easier to understand, helping you confidently choose and plan the World Voyage that is right for you.
Why World Voyages
At Ace Travel, we believe the best travel does more than take you somewhere new. It changes the way you see the world — and sometimes, the way you see yourself.
There is something extraordinary about traveling around the world slowly, experiencing one destination after another while making a luxury ship your home along the way.
That belief became the inspiration for Ace Travel after our founder sailed her first World Voyage in 2023. Despite a lifetime of travel and years working as a travel advisor, the experience changed the way she thought about exploring the world.
It also inspired a decision: to build a travel business dedicated entirely to helping others experience this remarkable way of traveling.
The World Changes Those Who Explore It.
Why Work with a World Voyage Specialist?
Choosing a World Voyage is more complex than choosing a typical cruise. The itinerary, ship, accommodations, inclusions, pace and overall experience all matter — especially when you will be traveling for months rather than days.
A specialist understands those differences and can help you look beyond the obvious choices, compare your options and find the voyage that best fits the way you want to travel.

About The Founder
Kirstie Wilson is a British-born, Florida-living travel fanatic. Her wanderlust began with her first trip abroad, when her parents took her to Sicily at the age of eight. She has been exploring the world ever since, traveling to more than 45 countries along the way.
But despite a lifetime of travel, it was Kirstie’s first World Voyage aboard Cunard’s Queen Mary 2 in 2023 that changed the way she thought about seeing the world.
The destinations were extraordinary, but it was the experience of living at sea for four months that had the greatest impact. There was a different rhythm to life — traveling slowly across oceans, waking up somewhere new, forming deep friendships with fellow travelers and discovering a sense of peace that is difficult to find in everyday life.
Kirstie returned home convinced that a World Voyage is much more than a very long cruise. It is a completely different way to experience the world.
That experience ultimately inspired her to reshape Ace Travel around one specialty: helping other travelers discover and plan extraordinary World and Grand Voyages of their own.
