Scott Sonken — Luxury Travel Advisor

Luxury Cruise & Solo Travel

Every Detail Handled.

Hi, I'm Scott Sonken

My love affair with travel began long before I became an advisor. As a CPA and entrepreneur, I spent years dreaming of the world beyond my desk — and when I finally took the leap and booked my first solo cruise, everything changed.

I was hooked.

What I discovered was that solo luxury travel is one of the most liberating, enriching experiences a person can have — but it comes with unique challenges. Finding the right ship, avoiding punishing single supplements, and navigating the overwhelming number of options can be daunting. That's exactly why I founded Sonken Worldwide Travel Services.

I bring both my analytical background and my genuine passion for exploration to every client relationship. Whether you're a first-time cruiser or a seasoned world traveler, I'll treat your journey with the same care and attention I give my own. My goal is simple: to send you on the trip of a lifetime, and have you come back wanting another.

"Travel is not just a destination — it's a declaration that your life is worth exploring."
