Japan's Crafts & Spring Blossoms Cruise
Roundtrip Tokyo | 14 Nights | April 13, 2026
Travel with an Expert - Florence Brethome
Before I began my job as a travel consultant in 2000, I studied art history at the Louvre Museum and worked for the Opera National de Paris. Today, travel is my passion as well as my profession, and my background in the arts serves me well.
As a native of France, I have an insider’s familiarity with various European countries and how best to visit them. That knowledge allows me to provide you with important details, from the best local restaurants, to the layouts of airports, to distances between one attraction to another. Those little extras can make or break a vacation.
I specialize in honeymoons and destination weddings, focusing on very high-end, thorough itineraries for discerning couples and their guests. I can customize romantic vacations anywhere in Europe, Africa, Caribbean, French Polynesia, Southeast Asia, and Argentina.
I believe a good consultant must travel on a regular basis. I make sure to take my own trips at least four times a year, expanding my knowledge of tried-and-true destinations and discovering new places. I love visiting India, and one of my favorite getaways is always Tahiti, a land of love.
My true niche resides in you, as no traveler is alike and each itinerary I create is as unique as you.
