I'm Ilay Avni, a luxury travel advisor and passionate traveler with a deep appreciation for exceptional ships, remarkable hotels, great food and unforgettable experiences around the world.

I'm based in Israel and work with clients internationally through my affiliation with The Travel Society, a U.S.-based travel agency.

For me, great luxury travel combines an exceptional product with great value and, just as importantly, personal service from someone you know and trust.

 

My relationship with Explora Journeys
I am a preferred travel advisor for Explora Journeys and have experienced Explora personally with my family.

Through my relationship and significant booking volume with Explora Journeys, I have access to preferred rates on many sailings that can provide real savings for my clients.

I also bring first-hand knowledge of the Explora experience and can help you select the right suite category and location onboard, including the best configurations for couples, families and groups travelling together.

My goal is simple: to help you enjoy the Explora experience at exceptional value, backed by personal service from the moment you contact me.

 

Beyond Explora
My relationships extend across the world of luxury travel.
I work with many of the leading names in luxury hospitality and yachting, including The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, Four Seasons Yachts, Orient Express Sailing Yachts, as well as Aman at Sea, whose first luxury motor yacht, Amangati, sets sail in 2027.

I'm also a preferred advisor for many of the world's leading luxury hotel brands, giving my clients access to preferred rates, VIP recognition and valuable benefits at exceptional hotels around the world.

Personal service means personal access
When you book with me, you deal directly with me.
You have my email, WhatsApp and Messenger, and I'm personally available seven days a week - before you book, while you're preparing for your journey, while you're travelling and after you return.

​

I can also take care of the details surrounding your Explora journey, including luxury hotels before and after your sailing, private transfers and other travel arrangements.

No call centers. No being passed between different agents. Just direct, personal communication and someone who knows your booking.

I'd be delighted to take care of your next Explora journey.
