We’ve sent over 10,000 happy clients to the Caribbean. It’s hard to put into words what has made us so successful. It comes down to the fact that we genuinely care about our clients’ travel experience and we make sure we are readily available from start to finish.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
When you retain Caribbean Journey to help plan your travel, you’re hiring a professional travel advisor to ensure that your trip is tailored to your taste, preferences, and budget. A typical Caribbean Journey vacation includes consultation, research, proposals, booking of travel components, reservation management, required entry requirements research, clear travel instructions, local contacts for support while traveling, emergency numbers that are staffed 24/7, travel insurance quotes, personal recommendations for restaurants, tours + excursions, confirmation of any requested special services, spa appointments, etc. and often VIP services like expedited customs & immigration processing. All of the above is provided to you via an online link, and within our travel app, so you are never without access to your trip information. Our Professional Service Fee covers our assistance in your travel planning, from consultation to post-trip follow-up.
WHY DOES CARIBBEAN JOURNEY CHARGE A PLANNING FEE ?
In order to maintain the highest level of service and expertise, we collect a professional planning fee before starting any research on your behalf.
This planning fee covers the dedicated time and expertise of our experienced travel advisors, who work tirelessly to curate the perfect itinerary for your dream vacation. From researching the best destinations to securing exclusive VIP perks and ensuring a seamless travel experience, our team is committed to crafting a trip that exceeds your expectations.
We believe in transparent pricing. When you book with Caribbean Journey, there are never any hidden fees or confusing costs associated with your travel plans. The rates we work with are never more than you would pay to book a hotel directly. We are always happy to openly discuss our process.
HOW MUCH IS OUR PROFESSIONAL PLANNING FEE ?
Our non-refundable planning fee is $100 per trip.
$100 is what the majority of our clients pay. However, additional fees could be assessed based on the complexity of your travel plans and will be discussed before we start planning. Some examples of when we need to collect more than $100 are island-hopping itineraries, group travel, last-minute travel, or travel over the Christmas/New Year holiday.

The future of travel is here, and rapidly changing travel policies are a reality. Your trip will be much smoother if you have an experienced travel advisor by your side to help you navigate the process.

E M E R G E N C I E S // We work overtime, so you don’t have to. All our clients travel with our direct cell phone numbers. When something unexpected happens, the value of being able to text or call a human travel professional who knows every detail of your trip is invaluable. We’ve been there for our clients in all types of emergencies. We will be there for you too!
