Why use a travel advisor?
It's 2025, can't I just book it myself online?
Yes, you can absolutely book it yourself online! However, it can become overwhelming quickly. Which airline is best? Can I make that connection? Is that hotel truly as impressive as it appears online? Is this cruise line right for me? How do I navigate getting to the port on embarkation day? Do I need a passport or a visa? Is this deal too good to be true?
Just as you rely on a financial advisor for your finances, an attorney for legal matters, and an accountant for your taxes, it makes perfect sense to consult a trusted travel advisor who can craft the perfect vacation experience. You shouldn’t be bogged down and stressed out by the planning process. Let us handle the details, allowing you to focus on enjoying your getaway!
Our Process
A Voyage Geeks travel advisor begins by engaging in a detailed conversation with clients to uncover their unique needs, preferences, and desires. By asking thoughtful questions about travel style, interests, and budget they gain valuable insights into exactly what you are looking for. This information is then meticulously crafted into a travel itinerary that reflects the vision, ensuring a memorable and tailored experience every step of the way. With expertise and attention to detail, the advisor transforms dreams into reality, making travel planning seamless and enjoyable.
1
Initial Consultation
In your initial consultation, you and your advisor will get to chat about what you are looking to plan - a regular vacation, a celebration, a group trip. It’s a chance for you to lay out your thoughts about destination, talk about timing and budget, any activities you absolutely must do or places you have to see. This is our chance to geek out with you on the fun stuff! We'll explain the process of working with a travel advisor and explain the next steps in the process.

Research and Itinerary Building
Your advisor then gets to work doing any necessary research about the destination to make sure they are bringing you the best possible options to meet your needs. Once we have some options, we work to put together some itineraries for you to review. Depending on the type of trip, we use several different tools (geek stuff) to help us collaborate on this step. We try to get it perfect on the first try, but it's totally okay if things aren't exactly as you expect. We can revise the plan as many times as you like until we get it absolutely perfect. We want you to just enjoy the magic when you are on vacation.

Booking
After we agree on an itinerary and plan, your advisor gets to work on the boring stuff - booking it all and completing any necessary paperwork. *yawn* We recommend that you use this time saved on your side to start packing!

On-Trip Support
We try to build your plan to minimize any chance of issues during your trip, but stuff happens. If things come up while you are traveling, you will have access to our On-Trip Support contact information. We can provide guidance on how to resolve the issue or contact someone on your behalf, depending on the situation. Rest assured, we'll figure it out together.

Post-Trip Follow Up
After you return from you amazing, stellar, absolutely perfect vacation, we'll be in touch to get your feedback. We will keep this in your file to make sure the next time you want to geek out on your next vacation, we can start where we left off.
