Hey, I’m Carrie Hotte — cruise enthusiast, single mom of five, bartender, homeschooling parent, and the founder of Euphorience Travel. My life is full (and a little chaotic, if we’re being honest), but I believe in making space for the things that fill your cup. For me and my clients, that thing is travel.I officially launched my travel business in 2023, but I’ve been planning cruises for my own family for years — multi-gen getaways, spring break trips, and everything in between. Since becoming a certified travel advisor, I’ve booked over 50 cruises and all-inclusive vacations for families, women, couples, and friend groups who just want someone else to handle all the details. That’s where I come in — and that’s where the magic happens.
My sweet spot is cruise and Caribbean vacation planning for women in all seasons of life — busy moms, career-driven women, empty nesters, and groups of friends who are long overdue for a getaway. Most of my clients come to me overwhelmed, overbooked, and tired of carrying the planning burden. Sound familiar? You don’t need another task — you need a travel partner who just gets it.
When you work with me, I’ll take care of it all:
- Matching you with the right cruise line or resort for your vibe and travel style
- Booking flights, airport transfers, dinner reservations, and excursions
- Sending personalized travel guides and “know before you go” info
- Offering real-time support so you’re never left guessing mid-trip
I don’t just rely on online info — I make it a point to personally inspect cruise ships, resorts, and destinations so I can recommend what actually works for you. I’ve attended in-person and virtual industry trainings, including Cruise Summit and ongoing supplier education. I’m a proud member of CLIA (Cruise Lines International Association) and currently working toward my CLIA certification to deepen my cruise expertise even further.
When I’m not booking trips, you’ll find me dancing in the kitchen with my kids, working a bar shift, or daydreaming about my next adventure (Bermuda, I’m looking at you ??).
If you’re ready for a vacation that feels effortless, joyful, and fully tailored to you — I’d be honored to help you plan it. Let’s take this off your plate and start dreaming something up.?????????????
