Luxe World Travels started with one question: what happens when women who want to see the world stop waiting for someone else to book the ticket.
Founder-led. Hands-on. Built for women who show up ready.
See Our TripsLuxe World Travels is a guided group travel company founded in 2025 by Shanea Lewis and based in Marietta, Georgia. The company organizes hosted international group trips for women who want to travel but do not have an existing travel circle, along with private travel planning for couples, celebrations, and small groups. Shanea Lewis personally negotiates with suppliers and hosts each signature group trip.
Shanea Lewis built Luxe World Travels on two things she never separated: a love of travel and a belief that the right experience, planned with real care, changes how a person sees the world. Long before the company existed on paper, she was already the person in her circle organizing the trip, negotiating with venues, and making sure everyone showed up prepared and taken care of. Luxe World Travels LLC was formally founded in 2025, but the instinct behind it, and the years of hands-on experience curating trips and experiences for the people around her, came first.
Shanea still personally negotiates with suppliers, vets every host property, and leads Luxe World Travels' signature group trips herself. She has spoken about walking into rooms — supplier meetings, venue walkthroughs, industry events — where she is often the only Black woman present, and choosing to treat that as reason to show up more prepared, not less. That same preparation is what shapes every Luxe World Travels itinerary: nothing gets built until she has done the research and can speak to the details that matter to the traveler.

A closer look at how Luxe World Travels plans, hosts, and shows up — on our signature group trips and everything else we handle.
Sisterhood travel at Luxe World Travels means joining a hosted group of women who become your travel family, even if you started out as strangers.
That's the gap Luxe World Travels exists to close: women who want to travel internationally but do not have a friend or family circle that shares the budget, the schedule, or the willingness to go. Luxe World Travels builds that circle for them. Every signature group trip is hosted, which means Shanea and her team handle logistics, coordination, and on-the-ground support, so the traveler's job is to show up and be present.
Community is not an add-on to that mission, it is the mission. Travelers on a Luxe World Travels trip do not just visit a destination together, they build relationships that carry past the itinerary.
Shanea personally hosts every signature group trip and negotiates directly with suppliers and venues. Travelers work with the person actually running the trip, not a call center.
Accommodations, transportation, tours, and group activities are built into every hosted trip. The traveler's only job is to show up.
Many Luxe World Travels travelers come back for a second, third, or fourth trip, because the group they found on their first trip becomes part of why they book the next one.
For Luxe World Travels, luxury is not about designer labels or price-flexing — it is convenience, access, thoughtful planning, real service, cultural depth, and the confidence to go.
Luxe World Travels' signature hosted group trips are designed primarily for women, particularly professional, established women who value culture, community, and experiences worth prioritizing. Many are Black women and women of color who have not always seen themselves centered in traditional travel marketing. Select experiences may welcome spouses, partners, or plus-ones.
Luxe World Travels also plans custom, private travel: honeymoons, couples' trips, milestone celebrations, cruises, and private group travel, built around the specific traveler, not a fixed package. Start your custom journey.

“Planning a group trip can be overwhelming, but Luxe World Travels handled everything for us. Went on the Bali trip with LWT and fell in love. I joined the Spain trip and now I'm headed to Thailand with LWT and my girlfriends!”
“I took my first group trip with LWT, which was also my first trip away from my husband and children. The accommodations were so nice, and so were the ladies I got to experience St. Lucia with.”
“I've traveled with LWT on over six international trips. Always a vibe and it gets better every time. The VIP service, stunning accommodations, and curated excursions made every moment unforgettable.”
“I don't know which trip was my favorite. Bali or Colombia?! I enjoyed myself both times and left a piece of my heart in each place.”
“The best part of the trip is I just have to show up! I'm too busy to plan. I honestly trust LWT. They've been selective when choosing transportation, tour guides, and accommodations. I'm four trips in!”
