9 Reasons To
Book With Us
In case you’re wondering why you should book your next luxury, cruise or tailor-made escape with us, here are 9 simple reasons.
From our personal service with no planning fee, to a wealth of knowledge and first-hand experience around the world, our travel experts are here to help plan your next adventure.
Whilst we can certainly provide a pre-determined package, we prefer to get to know you, so that we can create the perfect itinerary. That’s why our website is filled with ideas & travel inspiration (not prices), because why shouldn’t you be allowed to ‘make it your own’. From the best flights to the most-suited accommodation and activities throughout, your journey should be exactly how you want it with our thoughtfulness, care and attention to detail.
Seeing as there are endless possibilities, we understand that sometimes it takes a little time to get your proposal ‘just right’. We’ll never charge you for a quotation or a planning fee for our time; It’s also why our quotations are no-obligation. There’s so much inspiration out there that we want to share that with you, so that we can help you make the absolute most of wherever your adventure will take you. We’re confident you’ll love your itinerary; that’s enough for us.
As travellers, we’re constantly looking for ‘new’; somewhere, something, somehow (breaks into song) and we’re fortunate we’ve done a lot of it. We don’t think you can ever tire of exploring and learning about the world around us, whatever that may look like for you. Instead of hoarding our treasures, our ethos is to share those discoveries with you and your curiosity. Not just so you can tick a box; so you can truly find new ways in which to see the world.
We know you’re busy. As the world expands and becomes more complex, it can be difficult to find the proper time to plan the escape you deserve - overwhelmed by options and the constant FOMO. That’s why we’re here. To take away your stress, do the ground work, the research, logistics, mathematics and precision engineering so that all you have to do is put your feet up with a glass of wine and enjoy reading our bespoke proposal, made just for you.
We know that from time to time, plans change. Late addition to the party? Something cropped up and need to change your dates? Having such a good time you want to extend? We’ve been there ourselves! We work with specific operators that allow us the flexibility to accommodate all manner of requests - from the surely-not to the last-minute and beyond.
We love what we do and hope that you love what we do, too. That’s what keeps our clients coming back, adventure after adventure. We’re not here to sell you a holiday then disappear. Like your other trusted specialists in your life - your financial advisor, your personal trainer - we’re in this for the long-haul. It’s a privilege to be a part of anyone’s journey; being able to see that over years as you share your story, makes it all worthwhile for us.
You’ll quite often find us out of the country - sure, on holiday from time to time - but we’re often visiting new destinations, inspecting new resorts and previewing new cruise ships; all in the name of research. All of this first-hand experience is what allows our travel experts to make the most appropriate recommendations to you as we curate your itinerary. From the necessities to the wow-factor moments you didn’t know you needed until we met.
We don’t know everything - we’re still pretty young, but we are most certainly making waves and we’d love for you to do that with us. From being featured in the National Geographic Traveller Luxury Collection in our first year, to partnering with Mossy Earth - our climate hero programme - to winning luxury travel awards in 2023, it’s been an incredible journey so far. To our existing clients, thank you!
