Recently, there has been a steady increase in charging fees in the travel industry. Some reports say that more than half of all U.S. travel advisors, as well as many agencies worldwide, charge customers a fee for travel services. The most common charges include trip planning, making reservations, subscription or membership programs, ticket processing and corporate travel service fees.

These charges often increase with the complexity of a reservation. For example, if shore excursions or pre- and post-cruise hotel stays are needed, agencies may apply additional fees to reflect the extra planning involved. Some charge a flat booking fee per trip, while others calculate fees as a percentage of the total trip cost. Frequent travelers and corporations booking large groups may also incur annual retainer fees. Other common charges include hourly fees, rebooking and cancellation fees (in addition to any cruise line penalties).

At Vacations To Go, we take pride in offering our cruise booking services completely free of charge. We never require a fee to help you plan the perfect cruise, find the lowest price or arrange group travel. When you are ready to sail, our professional cruise counselors will provide fast and courteous service before, during and after your vacation.
