Welcome to Odyssey Excursions

No, using a travel agent like Odyssey Excursions is typically free for you! I earn commissions from suppliers, which means you get expert planning without the added cost. 

I do charge a non-refundable $100 plan-to-go fee. The $100 fee is due in full prior to any quotes, proposals, or planning materials being provided. Simple price checks and availability requests are included as part of this service, along with full itinerary planning and travel research.  This service includes unlimited revisions to ensure the itinerary and vacation options meet your needs and preferences. If you book your vacation package through Odyssey Excursions, the $100 planning fee will be applied as a credit toward the final booking cost. If you do not book, cancel prior to booking, or choose to book independently using information provided, the planning fee remains non-refundable.

Fee exceptions when planning fully independent travel, or airfare only.

While booking online can seem simple, working with a travel agent gives you personalized support, expert guidance, and peace of mind before and during your trip. Instead of spending hours comparing resorts, flights, and reviews, I help match you with the best options based on your budget, travel style, and priorities.

I can also help you avoid costly mistakes and hidden fees, recommend trusted resorts, cruises, and destinations, provide insider tips and destination knowledge, assist with special requests, group travel, and celebrations, monitor for schedule changes or travel issues, and offer support if something unexpected happens during your trip.

Most importantly, you’re not navigating travel alone. I'm here to make vacation planning easier, less stressful, and more enjoyable from start to finish.

Yes, I book a variety of cruises! Whether you're looking for a family-friendly cruise to Alaska or a romantic getaway to the Caribbean islands, I can help you find the perfect option.

Definitely! My main clients are honeymoon travelers. I love planning honeymoons and can tailor your trip to match your dream destination and budget.

If your travel plans change, I'm here to help! I’ll work with you to adjust your itinerary and ensure a smooth transition. I will also help guide you in submitting claims for travel insurance.

Yes! I help plan and coordinate many types of group travel, including family vacations, destination weddings, bachelor and bachelorette trips, reunions, corporate travel, and friend getaways.

Group travel can quickly become overwhelming when managing multiple travelers, payments, room requests, and schedules. I help simplify the process by handling the details, communicating with suppliers, and helping your group stay organized.

I can assist with resort and hotel group bookings, cruises and all-inclusive group trips, room coordination and special requests, payment schedules and travel deadlines, excursions and transportation, and destination recommendations for your group’s needs.

My goal is to make group travel easier and less stressful so everyone can focus on enjoying the experience together.

Yes! I offer customizable travel packages to ensure your trip meets all of your expectations. I book travel packages that can include airfare, hotel/resort accommodations, cruise accommodations, transfers, excursions, and travel insurance.

I can book almost any destination in the world! I have a plethora of suppliers to choose from, offering travel itineraries to any place you can think of.

No, unfortunately, I cannot book Airbnbs, as those require your specific account to be reserved.

I strive to offer the best rate available. I am always on the hunt for the best travel deals and promotions. 

If you are traveling outside of the United States, in exception to the U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Guam, The Bahamas, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands, you will need a government-issued valid passport. ALL passengers must have a passport, no exception for minors. Passports must not expire within six months of the travel return date. Passports must have at least two blank pages. 

For travel within the United States, passengers 18 years and older must present a government issued REAL ID or an acceptable alternative such as a passport.

For closed-loop cruises (depart from and return to the same U.S. port), a passport is not required. A government-issued ID and orginal birth certificate will suffice. It is recommended to have a passport in case of emergencies.

I strongly recommend the purchase of travel insurance to protect travelers and your investment from unforeseen circumstances. I can explain the benefits of travel insurance and how to add coverage today.

I understand plans change. I do not personally charge cancellation fees, however the suppliers (air, hotel/resort, transfer) may charge a cancellation/change fee. Contact me as soon as possible to change/cancel your booking.
