Over 20 years of expertise in cruising and group travel planning.

Personal service and support - we are just a call or email away. If you have a question or request, we will be in-touch with our partners allowing you to use that time for things you enjoy.

Being powered by the full-service travel agency TripMatters allows us to cover all aspects of your journey. This includes organizing flights through our Air Desk and providing after-hours emergency support.

Our customers get more value, perks and benefits from the best hotels, cruise and travel companies. Our strong industry relationships with key individuals at leading hotel properties and travel companies give us the clout to make things happen for our customers.

Service Fee Structure

Our first and only priority is our clients. Unlike most travel agencies, we do not prioritize selling travel products because of commissions many of them pay to travel agents. We only book travel suppliers that we trust and that can provide the best travel experience for our clients. Our travel planning and associated fees allow us to provide objective and unbiased travel planning and advice to our beloved customers.

Our Planning Fees For NEW clients:

  • Cruise or Escorted Tour – Fee free
  • Custom Vacation – A $250 one-time, non-refundable trip planning fee per household. This fee is collected at the time any bookings are confirmed.
 

For ALL clients:

  • A $50 ticketing fee will be applied to each airline ticket booked through our Air Desk.
  • A $50 administrative fee will apply for re-bookings after payments have been processed. This fee does not apply to minor changes to existing bookings, upgrades, or adding components to an existing booking.
  • All non-commissionable bookings will be charged a 10% service fee (Example – Rail Tickets).
  • Excursion bookings which will be charged a fee of $15 per excursion per person or a flat $39 a person for multiple excursions.
  • Bookings canceled after final payment, will be assessed a cancellation fee equal to 3% of the booking total. We strongly recommend purchasing Travel Insurance as these policies can reimburse most cancellation fees under covered reasons.
