I’d like to share a perk that we offer our clients that you may not be aware of: our exclusive hotel collection.

Wayfarer’s association with the Ensemble Travel Group allows us to offer a worldwide collection of pre-selected, quality-rated hotels and resorts. Our relationship, in turn, provides immediate recognition for our clients staying in premier accommodations at four- and five-star properties in

the most popular resort and city destinations. Your stay will be enhanced with exclusive perks that are

complimentary. These can include resort credits, spa treatments, dining discounts, or any number of value-added amenities. Some hotels offer our clients room upgrades, free breakfast, and complimentary wine. Oftentimes, early check-in or late check-out is available.

There are many value-added amenities that you can’t get on your own. A hotel may even offer free transfer from the airport (a $50+ value) to our guests.

We regularly book hotel stays before a cruise departure, so our travelers know they will arrive for the sailing on time, have a chance to tour the cruise port city, and sail relaxed and rested. They have time to tour the city, dine on delicious

fare, and relax before transferring to the vacation destination.

One of our culinary groups, for instance, arrived in Florence to begin their journey with a stay at the Hotel Savoy. The hotel, recognizing our association with Ensemble, provided the group complimentary breakfast daily, and a substantial beverage and food credit. Wayfarer arranged a private walking tour of the city, complete with shopping, dining, and culinary events. Everyone loved this contemporary

Italian-style hotel and had great fun. And, it was the perfect way to begin a journey to the Italian countryside.

Hotels in the United States are also included in our program. These are perfect for vacation, business travel, or just a weekend getaway. With more cruise ports operating in North American cities, hotels and resorts in the collection make a perfect and handy add-on to a cruise.

If your taste leans more to the unusual, our Ensemble program provides select “off the beaten track” accommodations in some of the world’s most attractive destinations. They range from regal palaces to intriguing caves to luxury camps that provide a unique experience for an experiential traveler.

The number of hotel properties is vast. It is important to plan your stay with a credible company that can offer properly evaluated hotels and resorts and, in addition, offer added amenities for booking with an Ensemble-associated agent.

We look forward to being able to share this benefit with you when you’re ready to plan your next trip.

Happy Traveling,

Owner’s COlumn
