Brian Hart, founder of Serentis Travel

About

17 cruises. 111 nights at sea. Since 1999.

I'm Brian Hart, owner of Serentis Travel — and I've been cruising for over 25 years: seventeen voyages across every kind of ship, from family sailings on Disney Cruise Line and Celebrity to ultra-luxury with Silversea.

Today, Serentis Travel focuses on a specialty of mine: luxury expedition voyages — Antarctica, the Galápagos, Patagonia, the Arctic, the Norwegian fjords, the Kimberley. They're extraordinary trips, but they're easy to get wrong without guidance: the right ship, suite, and season change everything, and some are more physical than people expect. That's a lot to get right on your own.

That's my job. I curate the voyage around you. You deal with one person — me — from your first question to the day you disembark, never a rotating cast of call-center reps. And because Serentis is part of a global travel network, I secure perks — like shipboard credit, exclusive experiences, and onboard amenities (and upgrades when a promotion allows) — you can't get booking direct. Same fare, more value.

Specialties

Curated focus, not a long list.

I work in a few areas, deeply, instead of a little of everything. You get recommendations grounded in real experience — on the ships, in the parks, and in the destinations I've actually researched — not whatever the booking engine surfaces first.

Luxury Expedition

My specialty: once-in-a-lifetime voyages to Antarctica, the Galápagos, Patagonia, the Arctic, and beyond — aboard Silversea, Seabourn, Scenic, Ponant, and Viking Expeditions. These trips are easy to get wrong without guidance; I match you to the right ship, suite, and season, and handle every detail.

Luxury & Premium Ocean Voyages

Elegant ocean cruising across Silversea, Viking Ocean, Explora Journeys, Celebrity, Crystal, Azamara, and Cunard. Silversea Experience-certified and shaped by years inside the Celebrity brand — every line I recommend, I'd put my own family on.

Tailored Journeys

For travel beyond cruising, the research is the work: trips designed entirely around you — milestone celebrations, multigenerational getaways, and custom itineraries anywhere. Vetted air, the right hotels and rooms, and experiences matched to who's actually going.
