Frequently Asked Questions

What is a curated travel experience?

A curated travel experience is thoughtfully selected around a traveller's interests, preferences and travel style. Rather than simply choosing a standard holiday package, a curated journey brings together destinations, accommodation, experiences and services that complement the way you want to travel.

What makes a luxury travel experience?

A luxury travel experience is about more than five-star accommodation. It can include personalised service, exceptional hotels and cruises, unique experiences, seamless logistics, access to specialist knowledge and the freedom to enjoy a journey at your own pace.

At Gallivanter Travel, we focus on creating meaningful experiences that feel personal, rather than simply adding luxury for luxury's sake.

What are the best luxury travel destinations?

The best luxury travel destination depends on what you want from your journey. Some travellers are drawn to Europe's historic cities and exceptional hotels, while others prefer remote wilderness, private islands, luxury cruises or immersive cultural experiences.

Our destination guides can help you discover the right destination for your interests, travel style and time of year.

How do I create a luxury travel itinerary?

Start by considering what you want to experience rather than simply how many places you want to visit. Think about the pace of your journey, the destinations that interest you, the experiences you want to enjoy and how much time you want to spend travelling between each location.

A travel specialist can then help bring those ideas together into a seamless itinerary, including accommodation, transport, experiences and the finer details.

What is the difference between bespoke and curated travel?

Curated travel involves carefully selecting and combining experiences that suit a particular travel style or interest. Bespoke travel takes personalisation further, creating a journey around the individual traveller's preferences, priorities and requirements.

Both approaches can create memorable holidays, with the right choice depending on how much flexibility and personalisation you want.

Why should I use a travel advisor for a luxury holiday?

A luxury travel advisor can save you time, provide first-hand destination knowledge and help you navigate the many choices involved in planning a complex journey.

Your advisor can recommend hotels, cruises and experiences based on your preferences, create a seamless itinerary, arrange the details and provide support before and during your travels.

At Gallivanter Travel, our specialists draw on their own travel experiences and industry knowledge to help you make confident decisions about your journey.
