Frequently Asked Questions

 FAQs

  • There is a lot of information available. It can be overwhelming and time consuming to sort through it all to plan your dream trip. A travel advisor can be your partner in understanding information, providing insights, and being your advocate.

  • Hotel-only and cruise bookings are done complimentary for up to 5 suggestions.

    This is FREE to you because travel advisors earn commission from hotels and cruises, which is already included in their prices.

    For full itineraries, there is an upfront fee to cover researching and booking the aspects of your trip. Beyond booking, this encompasses recommendations on organizing your schedule based on preferences, lodging location, and activity availability.

    Full itinerary planning or research efforts start at $25 per destination day. (For example, a 7-nights / 8-days trip would be 2 transit days (there and back) plus 6 destination days.)

    Schedule a free consultation if you have additional questions on pricing.
