Meet Elizabeth!

Founder, Luxury Travel Designer


“If I could have learned one thing earlier in life, it’s that travel stays with you forever.”

Growing up in Burlington, VT, with a loving and supporting family, I was comfortable and familiar with my surroundings. I loved the idea of travel, and even spent a summer abroad in high school, but my priorities were always skewed toward something else. College. Career. Building a family of my own. It wasn’t until the passing of my father – a brilliant, entrepreneurial man who spent his life traveling – that I realized my true calling. Over the course of his life, he had visited Italy more than 30 times, and I had never gone with him. With two daughters of my own, I knew right then how important sharing a love and passion for travel could be. Materials fade, but memories of travel are forever. That’s when inspiration struck, and so Rising Tide Travel came to be.

I know there are a lot of different ways to travel, and a multitude of teams that want your business, but take it from someone just as hungry to see the world as you: Rising Tide Travel is your family. We’ll get you where you want to go, and further..

Team Highlights

  • John Battaglino

    Partner, Luxury Travel Designer and Virtuoso Luxury Cruise Specialist

    For years, I insisted, "I'm not a cruise person." I pictured cruising as being stuck on a noisy, overcrowded ship with nothing but mediocre buffet food. I couldn't have been more wrong.

    Today's small luxury cruise ships offer a refined experience on the water, allowing access to hidden ports that larger vessels can't reach. The competition in this market is intense, and travelers benefit greatly from it. Companies like Ritz-Carlton, Silversea, Seabourn, Explora Journeys, and others provide exceptional service at sea, while Uniworld Boutique, AmaWaterways, Avalon, and others deliver the same luxury on rivers. Even expedition ships from Lindblad, Quark, Ponant and similar operators have expertly combined luxury with adventure.
