Diane Colaizzi
Independent Travel Advisor
Diane is passionate about exploring unique and exotic destinations, curating extraordinary luxury travel experiences for her clients. Each year, she personally designs and hosts an intimate group journey—whether an exclusive luxury cruise or a bespoke land tour—bringing together like-minded travelers for unforgettable adventures.
Her expertise spans multi-country extended trips, multi-generational celebrations, and personalized romantic or rejuvenating getaways. As a Luxury Cruise Specialist, she has deep industry connections that grant clients exclusive access to the world’s finest ships and most coveted itineraries.
Originally from New York, Diane has called the Midwest home for most of her life. When she’s not nurturing her close relationships with expert guides in Italy, France, England, and Kenya, she enjoys gardening, reading, and long nature walks.
A Luxury Travel Advisor since 1990, Diane joined Huffman Travel in 2001, where she continues to craft impeccable bespoke itineraries for both loyal clients and new referrals. That same year, she earned her Certified Travel Counselor (CTC) designation and a Destination Specialist Certificate in Special Interest Travel—both testaments to her dedication and deep expertise in the luxury travel industry.
