TRAVELING WITH CHILDREN
Traveling with children can be stressful! Let us help you take the stress out of your vacation planning. If traveling with children, please ensure to list their ages in your quote request, as often this has an effect on the types of arrangements we can make with our travel vendors. Need a special request? No problem! Just let us know.
TRAVELING SOLO
Traveling solo can be a unique and fun experience! We are happy to assist with solo travel plans, no matter what type of vacation you’re looking for. Please note, certain types of vacations are not necessarily cheaper to do solo. For example, most often cruise lines charge more for a solo traveler in one room. If you’d like to cruise solo, let us know and we can try to find you a room on a ship that is meant for a solo traveler, to help keep your travel costs down!
ROOM TYPES
Depending on where you’re heading, you may have a host of room types to choose from. On cruise ships, most often you will find interior rooms (without windows, these are typically the cheapest rooms), ocean view (with a window), balcony, and suite level rooms. In hotels and resorts, you may be able to choose from rooms with one or two beds, a pull-out couch, or perhaps a family style room with an attached bedroom. If you have a preference, please let us know and we can keep this in mind when searching for the best options for your vacation.
VISA INFORMATION
When traveling outside your home country, visas and passports are always an important consideration. All travelers (infants and children included) will require a passport with at least 6 months of validity past the intended travel return date. Please be prepared to renew your passport if it will expire in that time frame. If your destination country requires a visa, we will be happy to help you locate all the correct information pertaining to obtaining your visa prior to travel, if necessary. For additional information, please visit the US Department of State website at: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel.html.
INSURANCE
We always recommend purchasing travel insurance for peace of mind. Accidents and unforeseen circumstances do happen! We have a few recommendations for you.
Cruise lines tend to offer vacation protection which can be added as part of your booking total cost. This coverage may be restricted to certain terms, but may be cheaper than “cancel for any reason” policies.
For divers, especially, we recommend purchasing trip insurance through DAN: https://apps.dan.org/join-dan/?rc=2992061.
For travel insurance of any kind, including “cancel for any reason” policies, we recommend: https://www.squaremouth.com/23316.
FOOD
If you or any member of your travel party has dietary restrictions or food allergies, please let us know. In most cases, when booking all-inclusive resorts and cruises, we can make special requests to accommodate for these situations. However, certain types of travel such as those to remote locations we may not be able to guarantee this type of accommodation. Please be sure to let us know early in the quoting/booking process so we can plan correctly.
ACTIVITIES/TOURS
As part of your travel experience, we would be happy to help you search for activities or tours to attend during your trip. For cruise vacations, we can help you find exciting shore excursions to help you make the most of your days in port. For other types of vacation, we have a few options. Certain vendors promote popular day trips or activities that can be included in the booking. Regardless, if you’re interested in any of these sightseeing or cultural immersion opportunities, just let us know!
