you never pay Derek a fee
One advisor for every kind of trip.
Derek is the top cruise agent within LuxRally Travel, backed by two on-staff concierges for luxury stays, and he handles the whole trip personally from first idea to the day you get home.
Luxury stays
Backed by two on-staff concierges dedicated to luxury stays, so the details of a high-end hotel or resort are handled, not left to chance.
Honeymoons
Derek knows the spots that will actually wow you, not just what is trending on Instagram or TikTok.
Business travel
Available around the clock with quick response times, for the decisions that cannot wait.
All-inclusives
Derek only recommends all-inclusive resorts he would actually want to stay at himself, not just anything that fits the label.
Multigenerational family trips
Derek curates the trips families will be reminiscing about at the holidays for years to come.
Why an advisor
There are hundreds of different rates that are not even listed publicly.
Most people who have never used an advisor think they already know where the best prices are. Derek makes the process transparent and straightforward, and brings you rates and options a self-booker never sees. If any issues come up during the trip, he works to make sure you get a satisfactory outcome.
How planning a trip with Derek works.

Why they are on Moda
Derek is Moda's travel advisor.
LuxRally Travel is a paid partner in the Moda vendor program, which is how this page exists. Derek provided value to the Moda community and was asked to become its travel vendor as demand grew. For about a year now he has been booking trips and delivering value for Moda members.
Being on Moda does not mean Moda plans, books, or manages any travel. Derek and the LuxRally Travel host agency handle that. Do your own diligence the way you would with any advisor, and if anything about the partnership feels off, tell the Moda team on the report page.
Questions, answered straight.
No booking fees, ever. Derek is paid by the travel suppliers, not by you.
