Ellie Gaetano

Ellie Gaetano has been guiding travelers to the world's most dramatic destinations since 1986, developing a specialty portfolio that few travel consultants anywhere can match. While others focus on the well-worn European capitals and tropical beach resorts, Ellie has always been drawn to the destinations that require more: more planning, more expertise, more wonder. She is the advisor clients turn to when they want to witness calving glaciers in Alaska, track polar bears in the Canadian Arctic, or stand at the very bottom of the world in Antarctica.

Her Alaska expertise is particularly deep. Ellie has sailed every major Inside Passage itinerary, explored Denali by small plane, and helped hundreds of families and couples experience the Kenai Peninsula in ways that standard tour packages simply cannot deliver. She knows which cruise line offers the best glacier viewing, which small-ship operator provides the most authentic wildlife encounters, and which land programs genuinely complement an Alaska voyage versus which ones are merely added cost. Her clients arrive informed, and they return astonished.

Ellie is also one of Adler Travel's most accomplished group travel coordinators. She has orchestrated group cruises for organizations, alumni associations, family reunions, and corporate incentive groups, managing the logistics, negotiations, and on-the-ground coordination that make group travel seamless for everyone involved. Whether the group is eight people or eighty, Ellie ensures that every member of the party has an extraordinary experience.
