Designed Vacations is a boutique travel agency creating thoughtfully planned trips for travelers who value experience, guidance, and meaningful details. We take the time to understand what matters most to you, then design a travel experience that feels seamless, personal, and intentionally designed.
From first adventures to once-in-a-lifetime journeys, we design travel that feels uniquely yours.
Personalized Travel Design for Every Stage of Life
Designed Vacations was created for travelers who want clear guidance and a more thoughtful approach to planning their trips. We don’t promote package deals or one-size-fits-all vacations. Instead, we focus on understanding how you want to travel and guiding you toward choices that truly fit your priorities, pace, and interests.
Led by Nichole Pierce, owner and lead travel advisor, our team of experienced advisors and client experience support work together to handle the details, communicate clearly, and make the planning process feel organized and manageable from start to finish.
Experience you can feel, guidance you can trust.
