Researching that perfect vacation is a time consuming and often stressful process but there is an option that will allow you to get that perfect vacation that you desire while also getting your personal time back so you can enjoy other things in life while waiting for your travel date to arrive - hiring a Professional Travel Advisor to do the heavy lifting and work for you.
That is exactly what I do for every traveler who puts their trust in me and my personal experience with travel planning and design. When you book a trip online, regardless of how much research and planning you have done, you are still just booking the same old vacation as everyone else who books their own travel. When you have a trained and experienced travel professional research and plan your vacation, you are getting the benefit of their personal knowledge, hands-on expertise, travel partner relationships, and many other perks and amenities that you simply will not find anywhere else. Most important though is, when your vacation plans are created and managed by your professional travel advisor, you will have the added protection of support and assistance in the event that something goes wrong or things change that could your plans in jeopardy. You will never have this type of support, protection, or assistance when you book your own travel online and that is a guaranteed fact. Just to clarify, even the big tech guys from Google, Bing, and even the online travel booking sites, use a real travel professional to book their vacations and they do not rely on any information or support from their own business platforms. If that isn't an eye opener then I don't know what would be.
As a professional travel advisor it is my duty to ensure that every traveler who puts their vacation plans and details in my hands, gets the best possible vacation, for the best possible price, and that nothing is left to chance or put at risk. I start by spending some personal time with you and learning everything I can about what inspires your travel desires, what your personal styles and preferences are, and what you are looking for from your vacation experience. Once I have all of that information, I go to work digging into every possible supplier and products that will meet your needs and deliver your wants and must haves, for that perfect vacation that is custom planned just for you; in other words, you will receive a fully customized vacation experience that will deliver everything that you want, need, and desire without all of the stress and hassle of doing it yourself.
Every type of vacation experience can be customized to meet your style and needs, from cruises, to theme parks, and everything in between, you can make everything personal just for you. It is a huge myth that you can book the same thing online, or yourself, and it is a mistake that is made literally thousands of times per day. Don't become one of the numbers on a statistics board that reflects discontent with travel just because you have been led to believe that you can have your perfect vacation and book it on your own. In case you have doubts about the differences between doing it yourself and having it done for you by a professional, just ask anyone who had their travel cancelled or found themselves stranded abroad during the pandemic and ask them how much support they received when they needed it. I will wait for your response...
You don't have any positive responses from these people because they had nobody there to help them so they had to reach out to us human travel professionals to find ways to get home. We couldn't do anything else for them because their bookings were not supported by us but at least we were able to get them home as quickly and safely as possible and that was crucial during these tough times. Today though these same travelers put their travel plans in the hands of human professional every time because they know how it is when you are on your own, you are truly on your own.
It is my pleasure to help you with creating your perfect vacation and to give you that experience where you find your luxury while relaxing and enjoying the world as it should be seen - through travel and experiential journeys with family, friends, or whomever we invite into our inner circle.
The sample Travel Program, more commonly referred to as an itinerary, is a general outline for the specific trip referenced. As your final travel plans evolve, your Travel Program will be updated to reflect the daily details and destination information that applies to your trip. This sample Travel Program is based on a real vacation experience that cab be created and arranged in relatively short order.
Regardless of the type of travel you ultimately desire or require, every trip includes a detailed Travel Program as one of the many perks, benefits, and services that I provide to everyone. Take some time to review this trip and then imagine how it could be extended, expanded, and customized just for you. Now imagine that same level of service and detail for wherever you are inspired to travel.
Roundtrip cruise from Seattle, WA through the Inside Passage of Alaska with Princess Cruises. Experience the beauty of this region while gliding through the waters of the inner channels and waterways of Southeast Alaska and view the wildlife that resides in this majestic corner of the world. Alaska is a top destination for first-time cruisers and once you have experienced this place, you will be drawn back to it time and again.
Service and Support, the things that we always look for from every professional that we deal with on a daily basis, and when it comes to travel why would you deviate from working with a professional in this arena in lieu of doing it yourself? We have a professional cut or style our hair. We have a professional help us with our taxes. We have a professional help us with home maintenance or landscaping. You get the point, we work with a professional on pretty much everything we do so why not when we plan on taking a vacation?
I don't leave my vacations to chance, and I don't recommend that you do either.
It all starts with a one-on-one consultation where we talk about you and what your travel desires are. This is our time to discover what motivates your travel, often called inspiration, and what elements and details you want included in your vacation program. I will ask you a wide range of questions and we will discuss the details of every aspect of your vacation wants so that when the time comes, I will be armed with all of the information needed to create your perfect vacation. This is also your time to ask as many questions as you want about anything we talk about.
Now that we know what you want to experience from your vacation, it is time to find the best suited options that will meet these needs and expectations. This is the part that puts most people into a tailspin when they do it on their own while sifting through the thousands of online search results. I am able to simplify the process because I know how to put all of that online chatter and junk on permanent ignore and get right to the nitty gritty of it. I will scour every option and curate the best fit suppliers and products for the destination and type of travel that you are looking for and then you and I will meet again for a conversation about what I have found, the pros and cons of each option, suggested add-on considerations that will add not only the experience that you want but some additional value to the overall trip. When we are done with this piece of the plan, you will be well on your way to enjoying the best vacation you could possibly have.
You have approved the best trip option for your vacation and now you need to start thinking about your departure date. While you start getting yourself in the vacation mindset, I will take your approved travel program and I will make all of the arrangements, as we have discussed, and start managing your travel plans. I will make your bookings/reservations, apply your required, and approved, deposits and payments on your behalf, and start preparing your travel document folio for that special departure date. Your official Travel Program will be updated to reflect everything that is part of your final travel details and I will be monitoring all of your reservations in case there are some pricing decreases or anything that could potentially create an issue for your travel. We will communicate frequently so that you are always up to date and aware of anything associated with your travel.
Even though everything is now booked/arranged, your payments are being applied and the accounting process has been started, you still are going to have questions or need some form of assistance or guidance; that is where we, as Human Travel Professionals, excel over any other method of travel planning and booking. We are here for you every step of the way. From our first consultation, through the advisor stages, and all the way through to your return from your trip, we are here for you and it is our obligation to ensure that you have the help, guidance, assistance, and support necessary to keep your vacation experience as perfect as when we started. And once you are home, I will be there waiting for the opportunity to talk to you about your trip and, if ready, what your next travel adventure might look like.
Alaska truly is the "Last Frontier" when it comes to natural beauty and wonder and nowhere else is that more evident than when you are viewing and experiencing the awesomeness of the vast number of glaciers that Alaska is known for.
Every cruise itinerary, and cruise tour, that I design is guaranteed to give you access to these awesome wonders of nature and to get you up close and personal to them (while maintaining the highest standards of safety of course). From the beauty and wonder of Dawes Glacier to the vast wilderness and abundance of the greatest Glaciers of Glacier Bay National Park to the most stunning setting of the glacial collection of College Fjord and so many more, if glaciers and the experience that they provide is on your bucket list then it is time to empty that bucket and get yourself booked on an Alaska Cruise or Cruise Tour.
I have a very well established relationship with the best suppliers of Alaska Cruises and Cruise Tours to ensure that you receive the best possible experience that has been carefully created and refined over the years by the suppliers that started the Alaska cruise and cruise tour programs. There are many options but I only give my clients the best that there are because the experience can neither be matched nor exceeded by the younger players in the game.
