Welcome! I’m Lise-Marie Wertanzl, the owner of Sterling Journeys, and I am dedicated to crafting extraordinary travel experiences for my clients.

At Sterling Journeys, we have an incredible team that will be with you throughout the designing, planning, and execution of your dream vacation-from beginning to end. We believe that travel is about connection—connecting with new places, cultures, and the dreams you hold dear. We partner closely with you to understand your aspirations, whether it’s a romantic getaway in Paris, a memorable multi-generational family trip, or an adventurous journey through the Serengeti. Our commitment is to ensure that every aspect of your journey is seamless and exceeds your expectations.

As passionate travel experts, we specialize in destinations around the globe. Our strong partnerships with Virtuoso enable us to bring your travel dreams to life. Personally, I am proud to hold designations as an Aussie Specialist and a 100% Pure New Zealand Gold Specialist, reflecting my in-depth knowledge of these remarkable destinations. I am also a 2024 Virtuoso Cruise Icon (having reached the top 1% in the cruise sales category) I specialize in African Safari's, however, I also curate amazing itineraries for Asia, South America, Europe, Antarctica, North America, and the South Pacific. Basically I cover the world.

I hold a Certified Travel Associate designation from the Travel Institute, and I am also a Master Cruise Consultant and Luxury Cruise Specialist through the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA).

At Sterling Journeys, we emphasize luxury travel and aim to connect our clients with unique experiences that leave lasting impressions. Our high-touch service means you can relax and enjoy the journey while we handle all the details, supported by our extensive destination knowledge and exclusive itineraries.

As we celebrate our 13th year, we take pride in discovering hidden gems and exceptional escapes for our clients—think tucked-away boutique properties and VIP-exclusive tours that truly define “once in a lifetime.”

I would be delighted to assist you in planning your next adventure. Let’s make it unforgettable!
