Hi there! I’m Anastasia Cate, founder of VistaVenture Escapes LLC and a travel advisor who believes that every journey should feel both effortless and extraordinary. I specialize in small ship cruises and luxury travel experiences that are deeply personal, detail-rich, and thoughtfully designed for clients who crave adventure without the hassle.My journey into the world of travel began with Disney vacations—an experience that taught me the importance of meticulous planning and magical touches. From there, I moved into destination weddings and group trips before finding my true passion: curating luxury travel for couples and small groups who want to explore the world in comfort and style. While I no longer plan weddings, I continue to design custom group escapes with a strong focus on high-end, worry-free experiences.At VistaVenture Escapes, I work primarily with retired couples and young-at-heart travelers who appreciate having every detail taken care of. Whether it’s a boutique river cruise through Europe, a luxury beach resort in the Caribbean, or a custom itinerary through Ireland’s emerald landscapes, I bring the same level of care, curiosity, and enthusiasm to every trip I design.My own travels have taken me to breathtaking destinations like Ireland (a personal favorite), Austria, Hungary, Riviera Maya, St. Lucia, and both the French and Dutch sides of St. Martin. I’ve also had the pleasure of planning unforgettable vacations to places like Costa Rica and Malta—drawing on my deep destination knowledge and trusted supplier relationships to create seamless, personalized itineraries.I especially love discovering the little moments that elevate a trip—like the secret speakeasy hidden inside Secrets Moxché, or the made-from-scratch tortillas at their breakfast buffet that still make me smile. For me, the joy of travel lies in both the big experiences and the small, thoughtful touches that make a trip truly special.When you work with me, you’re not just booking a vacation—you’re gaining a dedicated partner who understands your travel style and is committed to making your trip smooth, meaningful, and entirely stress-free. I’ll handle all the logistics, answer your questions before you even ask them, and be your advocate from the first planning call to your welcome home message.I believe that the best adventures are the ones where you feel completely taken care of, so all you have to do is show up and enjoy. Let’s turn your next vacation into something unforgettable.

My Reviews

Wonderful and easy trip with the kids
Anastasia is very responsive, pleasant and helpful. She got every reservation I requested and had helpful tips for us. She was essential to having an organized trip where we were able to enjoy our time and see most of every theme park.

Wonderful resource for our family trip!
I have lovingly started referring to Anastasia as my "Disney Mom". From Day 1, she was able to give us thorough and detailed information, as well as resources for us to learn more She took care of booking everything we wanted to do (gold star for advanced dining reservations at 4 in the morning!), and also gave us honest feedback on areas to deprioritize in order to make every dollar count. Every question, no matter how big or small, was answered in a timely manner. If she didn't already know the answer (usually the case), she went to her sources and found it for us. By the time our departure dat arrived, we felt confident and prepared to have the best vacation possible, and we did!

Best Surprise Trip with Friends Ever!
Anastasia was a dream to work with. She not only help me plan a group trip seamlessly but went the extra mile by communicating with the other people separately as my husband didn't know our friends were coming. I gave her parameters of what we wanted in an all-inclusive and she found the perfect place for all our needs. She even set up our transfers to and from the airport in Mexico. It was the easiest trip I have ever had. I didn't worry about anything because she was so on top of the details and making sure we had all the info even before I asked. I will definitely use Anastasia again.

Awesome Anniversary
Anastasia guided every aspect of our vacation, from securing airfare to ground transportation to resort extras like a rollaway bed to excursions to how much to tip. Her expertise saved us money and allowed for a stress free trip.
