SERENITY TRAVEL EXPERTS

Elevated Travel for Professionals, Couples, and Solo Travelers Who Want it All- Luxury, Ease & Community

Welcome

Our Mission

At Serenity Travel Experts, we don’t just book trips—we curate experiences that feel like exhaling after a long season of hard work. We specialize in stress-free, beautifully organized group and custom travel for busy professionals and couples who want more than “just a vacation.” You want memories. You want ease. You want to feel celebrated. And you deserve luxury without the stress and adventure without the worry—with a touch of Black Girl Magic every step of the way.

From milestone birthday escapes and romantic getaways to cultural journeys and bucket-list cruises, every itinerary is thoughtfully designed, expertly managed, and infused with community, comfort, and unforgettable moments. When you travel with Serenity, you’re not just going somewhere—you’re becoming part of something.

Our mission is simple but powerful:

To create stress-free, culturally rich, and joy-filled travel experiences that allow our clients to rest, reconnect, and rediscover themselves—without the overwhelm of planning.

We believe travel should feel:

  •  Effortless, not exhausting

  •  Luxurious, not complicated

  •  Uplifting, not isolating

  •  And always rooted in community, confidence, and celebration

We serve busy professionals and couples who work hard, show up for everyone else, and are finally ready to pour back into themselves. Our job is to handle every detail—from flights and resorts to experiences and surprises—so you can simply show up and enjoy your life.

Why Booking with Serenity Travel Experts Is the Best Choice

Let’s be real—anyone can click “book now” on a website. But not everyone can give you peace of mind, curated experiences, and VIP-level care. That’s where we shine.

1. We Do the Thinking for You

No more endless tabs, confusing options, or second-guessing your choices. We design trips with trusted partners, handpicked resorts, and well-planned itineraries so you don’t have to stress about a single detail.

2. You Get More Than a Trip—You Get an Experience

Our travelers love us because we add the extras: welcome events, themed experiences, group moments, exclusive perks, thoughtful surprises, and that “I’m so glad I came” feeling you can’t put a price on.

 

3. We Specialize in Group & Curated Travel

Group travel can be messy without the right host. With Serenity Travel Experts, it’s organized, smooth, and fun. You get the perfect balance of together-time and free time, with a host who actually cares about your experience.

 

4. Flexible Payment Plans = Travel Without the Financial Stress

We believe travel should be accessible and enjoyable—not a financial headache. That’s why we offer flexible monthly payment plans, early booking perks, and special offers like BOGO certificates and VIP rewards.

 

5. You’re Never “Just a Booking” Here

You’re family. You’re part of the Serenity community. We build real relationships with our travelers, and we advocate for you before, during, and after your trip. If something comes up—we handle it. If you need guidance—we’re here. If you want unforgettable—we deliver.

  • Curated, not copy-and-paste trips

  • A warm, welcoming community—especially for travelers who value connection

  • Approachable, hands-on hosting and planning support

  • Serenity VIP Travel Program with points, perks, and exclusive rewards

  • Signature experiences: Birthday Escapes, Roots & Royalty, NC Girls Trip, Serenity at Sea, and more

  • A brand rooted in confidence, culture, elegance, and Black Girl Magic

We don’t chase trends—we create experiences people talk about for years.

I'm very pleased with the services that we received. We had a little hiccup at the resort ( no fault of Serenity) but Serenity Travel Experts was all over it and the hotel corrected their mistake immediately. So glad to have her having our back. Thanks we had a ball. Will definitely use again.

Cheryl was great throughout the planning and execution of this couples getaway. She made everything so very easy for us. All we had to do was show up. She even reminded us about what items to pack. I will be using Serenity Travel Experts for our honeymoon planning!!

Cheryl of Ellis Vacations is simply amazing! We have utilized her services for a few trips now and haven't been disappointed yet! She is extremely knowledgeable about the travel industry and knows how to get her clients the best accommodations, service, ground transportation, and other (much appreciated) perks. Our last trip was a wonderful experience at Sandals Ochi Resort in Ocho Rios, Jamaica where we not only vacationed to celebrate our anniversary, but renewed our vows as well. Cheryl coordinated our destination wedding with the resort and left no detail undone. She also patiently worked with our last minute upgrade request and checked on us during our trip. Ellis Vacations is awesome and as we are frequent travelers, we'll definitely continue as clients! Keep up the great work! On to the next adventure! ~ Oliver and Angela Bobbitt

Cheryl Harrison booked our trip to Cancun, Mx. She took amazing care of us from start to finish. Our accommodations were beautiful beyond what we could have ever imagined. This was our very first trip out of the country and definitely not our last. We are clients FOR LIFE Cheryl! Already planning our next trip.

“I hadn’t felt this alive in years.” “Standing on the cliffs, watching the Aegean Sea sparkle in the sunset, I realized that joy isn’t something you wait for—it’s something you create. This trip reminded me that I deserve to prioritize myself.” Patrice’s life revolved around her demanding career until she decided to join our Santorini escape. It was her first solo trip with a group of like-minded travelers, and it turned out to be a life-changing experience.
Patrice, 45
“I felt like I belonged in a world I’d never been to before.” “Bali welcomed me with open arms. The warmth of the people, the beauty of the landscape, and the sacred energy of the temples made me feel at home. I discovered a new sense of peace and belonging.” Jasmine had always been curious about Southeast Asia but felt hesitant about traveling so far from home. On a guided trip to Bali, she found not only breathtaking scenery but also a deep connection to the culture.
Jasmine, 50
“We came for the Eiffel Tower, but we left with a sisterhood.” “From laughing over croissants at a café to exploring the Louvre, every moment was better because we shared it together. These women are now my lifelong friends, and we’re already planning our next adventure.” Nicole joined a group of Black women on our Paris getaway, excited to explore the City of Light. What she didn’t expect was to forge deep connections with her fellow travelers.
Nicole, 48
“Dubai made me feel unstoppable.” “Standing on that yacht, surrounded by the glittering skyline, I realized just how far I’ve come and how much more I’m capable of. This trip was a reminder of my own power.” Angela saw her trip to Dubai as a celebration of her successes and a chance to dream bigger. From luxury yacht rides to breathtaking desert adventures, she soaked up every moment.
Angela, 52
“For the first time in years, I felt truly free.” “I never realized how much I needed time for myself until I was sipping a Bob Marley, feeling the Caribbean breeze, and watching the sunset over the ocean. It was in that moment I found clarity about what truly matters in life—balance and joy.” Monica, a busy professional juggling a high-stress career and family life, joined us on a serene getaway to Jamaica. What started as a much-needed break turned into a journey of self-discovery.
Monica, 42
“I went alone, but I came back with sisters.” “We laughed, cried, and shared stories as if we’d known each other forever. To this day, we have group chats, reunions, and even plan future trips together. Traveling with Serenity isn’t just about the places you go—it’s about the people you meet.” When Deidre signed up for our European escape to Italy, she didn’t expect to make lifelong connections. She was nervous about traveling solo but quickly bonded with her fellow travelers during a wine tasting in Tuscany.
Deidre, 46
It reignited the spark in our marriage.” “We’d forgotten how to truly enjoy each other’s company. Traveling gave us time to reconnect without distractions, and now we make it a priority to explore the world together every year.” After years of busy schedules and putting their careers first, Sandra and James decided to join one of our Mediterranean cruises. The picturesque coastal towns, candlelit dinners, and romantic excursions reminded them why they fell in love.
Sandra and James, 50s
“I never felt so powerful and beautiful.” “Standing on top of the Burj Khalifa and looking down at the city below made me realize just how capable I am. Traveling gave me the courage to chase dreams I’d been putting off for too long.” For Tanya, a trip to Dubai was about more than exploring a glamorous destination—it was about embracing her confidence.
Tanya, 40
The trip was awesome and l am looking forward to another one. I would love another short trip like this one and the same price range. It was well planned and organized. This was my first train ride and the ride back was much better than going and l think where I sat made a difference. Cheryl was a great host and l highly recommend her.
BettieClient- NC Girls Trip
Cheryl is an awesome agent. Everything was prepared for us and there was no question as to what we were doing. It was great having everything included in the getaway except a couple of meals. I am looking forward to the next trip.
