PUTTING THE VALUE IN LUXURY TRAVEL:

HOW WE TAKE CARE OF YOU.

AN INTERVIEW WITH BON VOYAGE LUXURY TRAVEL™

HOW LONG HAS BON VOYAGE LUXURY TRAVEL™ BEEN IN BUSINESS? 
Bon Voyage Travel was founded by Judy Bongiorno in 1998 after she had already been working in the travel industry for 5 years and has recently evolved to Bon Voyage Luxury Travel ™ to better reflect our luxury brand.

WHAT SERVICES TO YOU PROVIDE?
We specialize in helping busy couples over 50 years old who are looking for quality luxury experiences traveling together, and also with their children and grandchildren, while enjoying stress free vacations full of happy memories.

Our personal relationships with the top travel companies we work with allow our clients to receive the very best service during their vacations AND ALSO RECEIVE UNEXPECTED EXTRAS THAT ARE OFFERED AS PART OF OUR PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE BEST LUXURY BRANDS

DO YOU CHARGE FOR YOUR SERVICES AND, IF SO, HOW MUCH? 
We listen carefully to your dreams for your vacation and then research the best arrangements to fulfill them.  A fully customized vacation planned just for you involves a great deal of time to research and arrange, so we charge a planning fee to provide you with an exceptional experience.  It is definitely money well spent.

WHAT IS THE PROCESS FOR PLANNING A CUSTOM-TAILORED ITINERARY? 

    1. We receive an inquiry by phone, e-mail or from the web site.
    2. We ask our clients to complete a questionnaire and schedule a complimentary consultation on our web site,  which gives us a picture of what kind of travel they like.  We want to know where they have traveled in the past, their favorite travel memories, resorts and destinations.  We want to know what is drawing them to their chosen destination. This will help us shape their itinerary. We also ask them to read this interview with Bon Voyage Travel™, so they will understand how we operate.
    3. Prior to our phone consultation the questionnaire needs to be completed  in order to get the most out of our discussion.  We can then go into further detail about the clients’ travel expectations.
    4. We take a trip planning deposit, then begin preparing an itinerary and, within a few days, will send a quote with a few options.
    5. We revise the itinerary based upon feedback from the client.
    6. When the client is fully satisfied, we collect the deposit amount and begin making the trip reservations.
    7. One day after confirmation, we send an e-mail containing our Frequently Asked Questions, with their answers.  This covers the most popular questions like required vaccinations, visa and passport requirements, and reading recommendations.
    8. At 90 days prior to travel, we process the final payment.
    9. When the travel documents are sent to us, we review the trip arrangements to make sure that everything is in order before setting up a meeting with the client to go over all the details.
    10. A week before the client departs, we send an e-mail wishing a “bon voyage” and offering to answer any more questions.
    11. A week after the client returns home, we call to discuss the journey and make sure that everything went as planned.

HOW ARE YOU DIFFERENT FROM OTHER LEADING TRAVEL ADVISORS?
Most of the travel we sell, we can recommend from firsthand experiences.  We frequently visit the countries we sell to update our knowledge and have sailed on all but one or two of the river boat companies and ocean cruise lines that we recommend.  We feel we can tell you the uniqueness of each product and match you to the one you will enjoy the most. We will exceed your expectations and give you the best value for your precious travel dollars.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BOOKING WITH YOU OR AN ONLINE BOOKING SITE? 
Our expertise allows us to put together your entire vacation with flights, hotels, transfers, touring or cruising, rail travel, theater reservations, travel insurance, etc. for a truly concierge package.

We are long term members of our community and have belonged to the Barrington Chamber of Commerce since the company was established.  We have a sterling reputation and are available to meet with you personally to discuss your travel requirements
