Our Story
We’re sisters who’ve been traveling together for 20+ years—and we’ve sat where you sit. High-achieving, perpetually busy, and fully aware that you’re overdue for a real vacation.
Untethered Voyages exists for the overbooked and under-vacationed. We handle every detail, every decision, every what-if—completely off your plate. Because extraordinary travel shouldn’t require extraordinary effort.
Travel Style
We travel to feel genuinely off the clock—and a cruise is the only place that actually delivers on that promise. New port every morning. World-class everything waiting when you return. No packing, no logistics, no mental load.
We're drawn to itineraries that surprise us—a river winding through Colombia, wine country off the Australian coast, an island most people couldn't find on a map. The more unexpected, the better.
Simply put: we're spoiled. And we want the same for you.

Wendy went above and beyond to answer questions and to help with request for our recent trip. She was quick to respond to emails and made sure we had all our notifications from the cruise. She also helped us book our rooms before the cruise.

Wendy was a great partner, making sure we were up to date on offers and assisting in booking the cruise and our pre-sail accommodations. I can't wait to book my next trip with Wendy and Untethered Voyages.

A Caribbean Escape on the Scarlet Lady: Where Adulting Meets Adventure
This Western Caribbean trip on Virgin Voyages' Scarlet Lady was exactly what our group of five adults needed—just enough time for even our most work-obsessed friends to actually chill out and unwind. Everything felt perfectly balanced, from the incredibly well-kept ship and delicious food (that Lucky Lotus concept? A total win!) to the genuinely friendly crew who made everything so easy. Plus, being on an adults-only ship meant pure relaxation by the pool and no worries about little fingers in the buffet. Those hammocks on the Sea Terrace balconies? Definitely everyone's favorite spot for soaking in those endless ocean views.

Wildflowers and Whoopie Balls: Our June Canada & New England Cruise Experience on Island Princess
This Canada and New England sailing aboard Princess Cruises’ Island Princess fulfilled a long-held dream, marking our first experience with this cruise line on what proved to be the perfect 10-day getaway.

From the vibrant energy of major cities like Halifax, Boston, and Portland to the enchanting charm of smaller coastal gems like Charlottetown - complete with its delightful Anne of Green Gables connections—every destination offered something special. This voyage perfectly combined the luxury of unwinding aboard a beautifully maintained ship with the excitement of exploring some of North America’s most captivating maritime destinations.

Group Cruise on the Carnival Firenze, Departing Long Beach, CA
In June 2024, we celebrated our parents' 50th wedding anniversary on the newly renovated Carnival Firenze, an Italian Fun Ship at Sea. Four generations of our family traveled to Long Beach for a five-day Mexican Riviera cruise. This cruise ship was family-friendly, had big gathering spaces for our large family to get together and had activities that appealed to all generations. The staff took the time to learn our names and were kind to the kids in the group by asking what interested them (cruise ducks) and helping them find more ducks. They also had a special celebration in our group for our parents' anniversary and helped us honor them. We highly recommend this ship if you want a beautiful, family-friendly cruise!
