River Cruise, Ocean Cruise, AllInclusive, & Europe
My name is Dominique Barba. I'm the owner of Bliss Travel Service. I live in sunny Arizona with my two beautiful children and two chihuahuas. It would be my pleasure to show you how easy it is to work with a travel agent and get the best vacation for your money!
I specialize in river cruises, ocean cruises, all-inclusive vacations, and packages to Europe. I work with destination wedding groups, social groups, and corporate incentive groups.
Why would you choose me over another agent? I have 10 years experience in the industry including owning my own agency for over 5 years. I take the time to train and educate myself in order to serve you best. I travel to the places I sell inspecting the resorts and experiencing the product so I know where your vacation dollars are best spent. I work very hard to take care of my clients and the proof is in my testimonials and sales awards.
These are some examples of my clients:
1) Families looking for an easy fun vacation during a school break
2) Honeymoon couples looking for a luxurious beach vacation for their honeymoon
3) Social/family groups looking for an all-inclusive vacation or cruise
4) Couple/group looking to complete a bucket list travel such as a river cruise down the Rhine River
5) A company looking to reward a group of employees with an amazing beach vacation for a job well done!
I can't wait to hear from you so we can begin to plan the vacation of your dreams.

Where do I begin, Dominique is a lifesaver! She made planning my husbands 40th day in Jamaica. She made planning seamless. With wonderful suggestions and complete honesty. She did not oversell me on things we would not need. She was a dream to work with. She followed up immediately following our return and made sure she was readily available if we needed her. We are using her for our family trip to Italy next year. I have already recommended her to many of my friends and family. Thank you Dominique for all that you have done and continue to do!. You are the best!

An Anniversary to Remember
Reviewed By Dana and RJ - Chandler, AZ | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
We had a wonderful experience with Bliss Travel, Dominique Barba being our travel agent. My husband and I traveled to Italy and cruised to the Greek Islands for 3 weeks early June 2018, celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary, without any issues. Dominique ensured with great accuracy all our travel plans including flights, transfers, excursions with tour guides. Dominique provided exceptional customer service, staying in close communication with us throughout the entire planning process, up to the day of our departure. Dominique made suggestions to even enhance our anniversary celebration further, ie. upgrading to mini suite on cruise for a minimal increase in price. My husband and I had an unforgettable time in Europe, and will definitely use Dominique and Bliss Travel in our future, hoping near future!

An Extraordinary Travel Agent
Reviewed By Sherry L - Tucson, AZ | Traveled to Europe
Dominique, Owner of Bliss Travel, is an extraordinary travel agent. My husband and I wanted to find a travel agent who would help us to create a month-long vacation covering four countries. Whereas other agents wanted us to put together the itinerary so they could simply “book” the trip, Dominique listened to what we wanted and helped to create the itinerary based on our preferences. Also, Dominique saved us SO much money in helping us to avoid pitfalls.
Unfortunately, the Pandemic caused us to delay the trip. Given the trip was custom and involved a myriad of airlines, trains, accommodations, etc., we feared that we would lose thousands. Dominique surprisingly was able to recoup almost every dollar we had spent on the down payment.
My advice to you is to contact Dominique for any upcoming travel. We are going to be taking our trip in the Fall of 2021 and are comforted to know that Dominique’s amazing customer service will be behind us.
Easiest Vacation Ever!

Responsive, knowledgeable.. a professional facilitator of customized travel itineraries! I can't say enough good things about Dominique Barba. Despite our ultimate inability to travel due to COVID-19, Dominique provided helpful, timely communication about the changes of status along the way.
After facing difficulty coordinating an international bachelorette party with gals in various states across the country, I found Bliss online. I asked for a review of our previous agent's itinerary, and Dominique answered promptly, with honesty- bringing up the same concerns I had attempted to communicate to our first agent. Dominique asked a few clarifying questions and was able to offer us a getaway within our budget that checked all of our boxes.
Again, we were ultimately unable to travel, but Dominique held our hands through the refund process. Circumstances permitting, we hope to plan a bachelorette party in the future and we have agreed that we will again ask Dominique for her serv

I'm so happy since I met Dominique and started using her for my travel. When I had to cancel my plans due to COVID-19, it was such a relief that she would manage all that for me. Dominique also finds awesome pricing and brings to the table great experience on options for travel. Great recommendations and she's always super responsive!

Dominique saved the day!
Reviewed By Neel - Keller, TX | Traveled to Puerto Vallarta ~ Jalisco ~ Mexico
I have never used a travel agent before but this trip we decided to try Bliss Travel Service. Dominique stepped in and got us a great deal on a trip to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Unfortunately, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, we were forced to cancel our trip. Because we went with Dominique's recommendation to purchase travel insurance we are able to get a full refund...and she even took care of all the details for us. We did not have to contact the travel insurance company at all! This just reinforces the fact that we made a good decision to go with Bliss Travel! Next trip? I will contact Dominique and rest easy knowing we are well taken care of!

The Best Laid Plans...
Reviewed By The Teachers - Phoenix, AZ | Traveled to Alaska ~ USA
We loved working with Dominique to plan our Alaskan cruise, even though it never happened! Dominique was professional, courteous and always responded to us promptly and with as much information as we requested, and often more. She understood this was a once in a lifetime trip for public school teachers and was always looking out for both value and experience. We also booked airline tix through her for a separate trip (that didn’t happen!) and her turnaround with that itinerary was phenomenal. We felt so badly for her when our trip fell through due to the pandemic. We look forward to a time when travel resumes safely and she can once more be our guide. She always made us feel like we were her priority. We trust Dominique implicitly...and so should you!

Vacation of a lifetime
Reviewed By Bart - Mesa, AZ | Traveled to Riviera Maya ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
I usually book all my travel plans through a popular online site and have felt like I was getting pretty good deals and finding nice accommodations, So I was reluctant to go through an agency, But after doing some online research and finding "Bliss" was a highly rated agency, I took the chance to let her book our Cancun vacation. I'm so glad I did! Dominique did all the work and found a perfect location based on our personal desires and financial situation, and she even saved us money on the package based on what I'd found online! She made valuable recommendations, including the all-inclusive resorts, which I'd never been to, but absolutely loved. She gave us updates and pointers, provided detailed recommendations about activities, restaurants, excursions and fun local hotspots. I never would have had this information without her. We were able to relax and enjoy the vacation of a lifetime, thanks to her work and insights. Thanks again, Dom!

Alaska Cruise
Reviewed By AZ Traveler - Waddell, AZ | Traveled to Alaska ~ USA
Dominique was very attentive to our needs. She answered all of my questions in a very timely manner even when she was out of the country. She took care of all of our arrangements and even helped us make changes to our reservations when "life happened" and some of our party had to cancel. I will gladly call Dominique when we're ready for our next vacation.
