Planning Fee

For new clients, our planning fee is $50 per household  to cover the research, coordination, and personalized attention that go into finding your perfect cruise.
This non-refundable fee is separate from the cost of your trip.

If you already know which cruise line, ship, and sailing date you’d like, we offer complimentary booking assistance. We’ll take care of the details and ensure your reservation is handled correctly.

As a thank-you to our loyal travelers, this planning fee is waived for returning clients.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I book my cruise on my own and have you manage the details?
In order to manage your reservation, we must be listed as your travel advisor.
If you’ve already booked your cruise, many cruise lines allow us to be added within 30–60 days of your initial booking. Contact us and we’ll check whether your cruise qualifies.

What if I need flights or hotels before or after my cruise?
That’s a great fit for our Cruise Vacation Experience service, which includes pre- and post-cruise arrangements, curated excursions, and personalized experiences.

What types of vacations fit best with this service?
This service is ideal for self-contained vacations such as river and ocean cruises that don’t require complex add-ons like flights or extended land stays.
