The Value of Travel Advisors

Your vacation time is valuable. You deserve a travel experience that is personalized to your interests, indulges your sense of global curiosity and exceeds your expectations. That’s why it helps to have a travel professional on your side, someone who enhances every facet of your journey through a combination of experience, expertise and connections. Here’s an overview of how we help you make the most of your vacation time.

We Save You Valuable Time

There is a lot of information on the internet, and you simply can’t trust all of it. With us on your side, you no longer waste precious time combing through hundreds of websites to determine what is accurate or what is not. We know your dream destinations inside and out, and we know how to make your time there truly extraordinary.

We Keep Up with Current Travel Information

As travel advisors, it is our job to stay up to date on the most current travel information, including which hotels and cruise ships have been recently upgraded, which resort chain has the best spa experience, which destinations are on the rise and more. We use all this information to help you make informed decisions that make your vacation as special as you want it to be.

We Know Current Promotions and Offers

Travel companies use numerous promotions and offers to entice travelers to explore the world. Travel advisors can help you sift through these promotions, find the ones that resonate most with you and may even provide additional benefits above and beyond the offer.

We Provide Exclusive Benefits

Thanks to our long-standing relationships with travel suppliers around the globe, we have access to insider perks like limited-time discounts, bonus upgrades and exclusive offers. For example, we can book hundreds of sailings around the world that provide you with an onboard host, a special reception and an exclusive shore event that you cannot secure on your own.

We Help You Protect Your Vacation

Many cruise lines, airlines, hotels and tour operators provide basic cancellation policies; we can explain the ins and outs of those and recognize any potential gaps in coverage. Additionally, we can walk you through the broader, more robust travel insurance policies that will give you complete peace of mind for your vacation investment.

We Specialize in the Unique

In addition to being well-versed in most destinations and travel styles, we have also worked diligently to develop unique areas of expertise. These can include specific destinations, resort brands, destination weddings, safaris, river cruises, luxury experiences, expeditions to far-off lands and more.

We Craft Personalized Experiences

No two travelers, and no two vacations, are exactly alike, which is why we take the time to understand your unique travel needs and interests in order to create your very own personalized travel experience. Whatever you desire — rejuvenating spa treatments, mountain-conquering hikes, Michelin-star dining — we can add to your exclusive itinerary.

How To Support Travel Advisors

As great as travel advisors are, many of your friends and family members choose not to utilize our experience and expertise, thinking they’re better off on their own. Here are a few ways you can help support all the travel professionals who only wish to help people travel better. 

  1. Give Shout-Outs on Social Media — Tag and thank your travel advisor when you post pics of the fabulous vacation they helped you create. Also, follow their social media accounts and like their posts.

  2. Give Ringing Endorsements — Write a positive review wherever your travel advisor is being evaluated and be ready to recommend their services whenever you hear an acquaintance talk about future travel plans.

  3. Sign Up for Their Newsletters and Mailers — Stay connected with your advisor and the great offers they provide by signing up for newsletters, emails and direct mail pieces. Our travel advisors also periodically send inspiring travel magazines that you can display on your coffee table or share with relatives.
