Our focus is simple: to design exceptional, personalized journeys and create experiences that stay with you long after you return home.
Meet the founders
Elizabeth Cincotta
Founder, Luxury Travel Designer
If I could have learned one thing earlier in life, it's that travel stays with you forever.
I always thought travel could wait, until I learned my father had taken more than thirty trips to Italy, and I hadn’t been on one. That realization stayed with me and led to Rising Tide Travel. Today, I focus on helping others create the experiences they’ll never regret making time for.
John Battaglino
Travel Advisor and Luxury Cruise Specialist
I’ll admit, I used to be the guy saying, “I’m not a cruise person.” I had it all wrong.
What I’ve come to appreciate is how much the experience has evolved—today’s ships feel more like intimate, well-run hotels at sea, with the ability to take you places you’d never reach on your own. It’s a completely different way to travel, and one that’s worth a second look.
Meet the team
Natalie jackson
Associate Travel Advisor
I’ve always believed travel has a way of bringing people and cultures together in meaningful ways.
Over time, what started as a personal passion became something I wanted to share more intentionally. Today, I focus on helping clients experience places more deeply, through connection, perspective, and moments that feel effortless.

Young Adult Travel Specialist
I’ve been lucky to experience a lot of Europe at a young age, and it’s shaped how I see travel
I understand what actually feels exciting and engaging for this generation, and how to create experiences that go beyond the usual highlights. My goal is to design trips that feel just as meaningful for younger travelers as they do for everyone else.
