Want a trip like mine? I'll plan it.
I film the cruises, hotels and Vegas trips I take: the good, the overpriced and the stuff nobody tells you. Tell me where you want to go and I'll plan the trip I'd book myself.

Plan my trip
Takes two minutes. I read every one myself.
Hi, I'm Matt. I film every trip I take, from Royal Caribbean cruises to Vegas and Italy, and my videos have 45,000+ views on YouTube. You get the trip I'd book myself.
Thanks. Here's what happens next.
Pay the fee and pick a call time
$250, paid when you book. It's credited back in full when you book your trip with me (launch offer, through Dec 31).
We talk for 20 minutes
You tell me what you're really after, so the plan fits you and not a template.
Options in 48 hours
2 or 3 options with my honest take. Pick one, I book it, and you're set.
Four steps, start to finish
Tell me the trip
Fill out the trip form: where, when, who's going, and a rough budget.
Pay and book a call
$250 to get started, and you pick a time for a 20-minute call. During the launch offer, it's credited back in full when you book.
Get your options in 48 hours
After the call, two or three options with my honest take on each, then we adjust together.
Book and go
I book it and send you a short "before you go" list.
One planning fee
- Covers the research, the options and the back-and-forth.
- Simple bookings (one hotel, or a cruise you've already picked) have no fee. Just email hello@mattsokol.com.
- In most cases you pay the same price as booking direct. The hotel or cruise line pays my commission.
The trips I know firsthand
Cruises
Royal Caribbean and more. Which cabin, which restaurants are worth the upcharge, and which shows to book on day one.
Hotels and resorts
Where to stay, which room type, and the perks you get booking with me.
Vegas and casino trips
Hotels, shows and dinners, plus how to ask a casino host for comps.
Honeymoons and groups
Multi-stop trips, birthdays and bachelor parties, where the planning is the hard part.
Before you ask
Why pay before we talk?
So my call time goes to people who are ready to plan. The $250 covers the call, the research and your options, and during the launch offer it's credited back in full when you book with me.
Why is there a planning fee?
A full trip plan takes hours. The fee means I can give every trip real attention. During the launch offer it comes back to you when you book.
Will I pay more than booking myself?
In most cases, no. Hotels and cruise lines pay advisors a commission, and the price you pay is usually the same. Booking with me can also come with perks like upgrades or credits at partner hotels.
Who actually books the trip?
I do. You get confirmations straight from the hotel or cruise line.
Can you help with casino comps?
I can tell you how to ask a casino host for offers based on your play, and plan the rest of the trip around it.
