Amy Olmsted
Founder & Luxury Travel Advisor
For Amy, extraordinary travel has always been about more than beautiful destinations and exceptional hotels. It’s about meaningful experiences, personal connections, and the memories that stay with us long after we return home.
Before founding Ultimate Travels, Amy built her career in publishing and events, including her time at Sunset Magazine and Visit Napa Valley, where she developed lasting relationships throughout the food, wine, and hospitality industries. That background continues to inspire her signature hosted journeys, bringing travelers together with celebrated winemakers, chefs, and other experts in remarkable destinations around the world.
Today, Amy specializes in thoughtfully designed luxury travel, from intimate river and yacht cruises to immersive cultural adventures and bespoke journeys across the globe. Recognized as a 2026 Virtuoso Cruise Icon, Amy brings exceptional industry relationships, insider access, and a deeply personal approach to every journey.
Her philosophy is simple: The best travel experiences aren’t just about where you go, but how you experience the world along the way.
When Amy isn’t traveling the world, you’ll find her enjoying time with her two grandsons, or dreaming about her next adventure!
