All-Inclusive Offering
Our signature design process seeks to move past the where and when to find the why. We aren't just planning a trip. We are helping you find your footing in a world waiting to be felt.
For independent travelers who enjoy planning their own trips but seek a second opinion, we offer hour-long 1:1 virtual consultations so you can receive personalized advice.
For travelers who seek timely assistance with booking accommodations, leverage our deep industry connections to enhance your self-managed stay with added benefits and amenities.
Complimentary if hotel is known; otherwise, a hotel research fee may apply.
Hotel-Only Bookings
Virtual Consultations
We strive to foster long-lasting relationships over one-off booking transactions. When full-service trip planning is not in the cards, we do offer a la carte services, ensuring we can be of service no matter what season of life you find yourself in.
Essential Services
A La Carte Offerings
It boils down to resources — namely, access and time.
When it comes to access, our industry connections unlock exclusive benefits that are simply not found with mass-market booking sites or AI agents. Think priority upgrades on check-in, early check-in and/or late check-out, daily breakfast, resort/shipboard credit, and other personalized touches. An online search can't get you that room upgrade.
If you feel overwhelmed at the prospect of researching, planning, and booking travel, we are here to protect your most valuable asset — your leisure time — and make it a seamless, stress-free experience. Beyond these perks, our insights about the history, culture, and hidden gems of your desired destination can elevate your trip beyond the photo op to become truly one-of-a-kind.
Why should I work with a travel advisor if I can plan and book everything myself?
01
Not at all!
In fact, in many cases you get more value for the same price versus mass-market booking sites — or even premium credit card travel portals.
Thanks to our extensive preferred partner relationships with hotels, cruise lines, and tour operators, we can unlock exclusive benefits for your bookings to enhance your trip, all at no added cost.
While benefits vary from one property to another, VIP amenities include priority upgrades on arrival, extended check-in and check-out times, complimentary resort/shipboard credit, and other personalized touches.
Do I pay more for hotels if I book travel through a travel advisor?
02
- Commissions paid by hotels, cruises, and travel suppliers once travel is complete
- Planning fees paid by clients.
Our modest planning fees cover the time and expertise to design and manage a trip entirely unique to you.
We take care of every detail from the initial consultation to your eventual post-trip homecoming and everything in between, allowing you to be present and truly savor your travel experience.
Think of it as an investment in your peace of mind and the only true luxury: time.
How do you get paid?
03
Your investment is determined by the scope and overall complexity of your trip, including factors such as number of travelers, length of travel, and destination(s) involved.
In the case of a self-managed hotel-only reservation with one of our partnering hotel properties, a service fee may not apply.
We will confirm your planning fee during your complimentary consultation once we understand your goals for the trip.
