About Me

Specializing in Hawaii, Alaska, Europe & Cruises

I’ve had the privilege of exploring over 60 countries, immersing myself in cultures and histories across the globe—from the rugged beauty of Alaska to the stunning landscapes of New Zealand. These journeys have shaped my firsthand knowledge of iconic destinations including Hawaii, Alaska, French Polynesia, Australia, New Zealand, and countless European gems. I’ve experienced Ireland, Scotland, the UK, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Germany, Austria, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, the Netherlands, France, Spain, Italy, Greece, Malta — and even Russia! By land, sea, or river, I’ve experienced it all: luxury river cruises, grand ocean liners, self-drive adventures, and guided group tours. This depth of travel experience allows me to create personalized itineraries for singles, couples, families, and groups. Let’s turn your dream vacation into an unforgettable journey — contact me today to get started!

Four girls in the Emerald Isle.
Reviewed By Lynne - Hamburg, NY | Traveled to Ireland ~ Europe
Mike SantaLucia organized our family trip to Ireland and did a superb job. He kept our interests in mind when planning out everything. His guidance and suggestions as to the choice of airlines, the hotel accommodations and places of interest to see helped us make the most out of our trip. He even recommended alternate activities if the weather was unsuitable on a particular day. We will definitely use him again.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Best trip of our lives
Reviewed By Anthony and Viviana - Telford | Traveled to Playa Mujeres ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
Mike was extremely helpful. He helped us plan our honeymoon to meet our specific needs, and found us the perfect vacation spot. He was always prompt in getting back to us to answer our questions, and touched base with us several times leading up to the trip with specific advice to make our travel easier. He also took the time to set up a package for our honeymoon that made it extra special. We were referred to Mike through a mutual friend, and we're glad we went through Mike to book our trip because it far exceeded our expectations and truly was the best trip of our lives.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Wonderful visit to Ireland
Reviewed By Mom K - Elma, NY | Traveled to Ireland ~ Europe
Hi Mike,
Our trip to Ireland was great. As you know, Ireland is a wonderful place. We enjoyed many beautiful sights, exhibits and museums. We spent time walking around touristy areas as well as non- touristy neighborhoods and loved them all.

I especially want to thank you for your suggestion for me to purchase additional car insurance to cover the wheels, mirrors and glass. While filing out the paperwork, I listened to several Hertz employees tell costumers that the extra insurance was available, but “not really necessary”. Once on the roads, it was very obvious that the extra insurance is important! And, by the way, to my relief, the inspector upon my returning the car did not mention the new scratches, and neither did I!!

The first Hotel we stayed in, the Granville Hotel, was lovely. Everything about it was wonderful. The room was pretty, comfortable and the hotel restaurant pub was equally lovely and the food was great. All the staff was eager to do anything to make our
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Reviewed By Pete - orchard park, NY | Traveled to
I cant say enough good things about SantaLucia travel. Mike will bend over backwords to get thing done and knows his business better than any agent I have ever dealt with (any I travel A LOT, and have very high standards!). Mike even took time away from this years Suberbowl to ensure I could get in on a cruise special that was expiring that night! Mikes customer service and travel knowledge is truly outstanding!!! He works very hard at what he does, and is very dedicated!!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    PRIDE OF AMERICA HAWAII - Norwegian Cruise Line
    Jamaal and I had a WONDERFUL time on our cruise. We wanted to thank you for the Bon Voyage package, which started our trip off well, as well as urging us to link up with Kaj (he says to tell you 'Hello'). We got to meet with Felix, Director of Outlets, who ensured that Jamaal's allergies were looked after. We were treated as VIP's on this trip and it REALLY made Jamaal's first cruise memorable. We were even invited to dine with Kaj and his assistant, Jason. It was an amazing trip!!!!! We have mentioned to anyone who will listen that we went with Mike SantaLucia from SantaLucia Travel, so hopefully your line will be ringing off the hook! I know our mothers and aunt had a great time as well. We really loved the Ultimate Dining Package and the onboard credit was a great way to treat ourselves guilt-free! Again, many MANY thanks for all your help in coordinating this trip. We had a ball and can't wait to book our next trip.
