Our Booking and Planning Policies

 

 

Customized vacation packages are as unique as you when using LUX World Travel's planning services.

We understand that each and every person has a different idea or passion, different expectations of their custom luxury vacation.  For this reason we place great importance on you, your lifestyle and your personality to ensure that your tailor made package is as unique as you are. 

The more we know about you, the better we can create your custom vacation.  Whether you want to relax on the beach, partake in culinary classes, hike, visit museums, work with animals or rescue programs, or enjoy local food and wines, whatever your special interests are, we will include them into your itinerary. 

The essence of  custom luxury vacations also considers your specific dietary requirements, special interests, and physical needs which makes your trip, one of a kind.

 CUSTOMIZED PLANNING  THE PLANNING PROCESS
 


The LUX World Travel website offers a sampling of ideas and suggestions for your travels.   In most cases we will be able to use some of these prepared suggestions as a base for your particular journey, and then tailor-make the itinerary to your tastes, style of travel and preferred budget.

However, most clients wish to create their own journey,  in which a full-customized plan will begin.  This type of planning takes time to research, secure, and coordinate before the LUX World Travel Team can provide you with a draft itinerary.  

We appreciate your acknowledgement of our skill, resources, and ability to produce the trip you desire, therefore; we do ask for a gesture of good faith in the form of a small planning deposit before we begin creating your specialized journey. You will have the assurance that our professional trip planners are putting hours of excellence into your vacation, and of course this deposit is either deducted from your final vacation price once the vacation is booked and finalized, or in some cases we may send you a Visa Gift Card in the deposit amount in time for you to enjoy your vacation.  Please understand this deposit is NOT an additional fee on top of your vacation costs, is a simply a deposit of good faith to respect our time.

Requested deposit amounts do fluctuate depending on the size of the group, time needed to prepare the trip, and the overall value of the trip, and you will be notified of the amount of the deposit amount , before that detailed stage of planning begins.  You will then receive a LUX World Travel VIP Planning Invoice, and once payment is complete, our team will literally go to the ends of the earth to plan your trip.

When a deposit is required to plan your trip, a good pricing guideline to follow is below:

Solo Trips

$40 for customized itineraries estimated $2,500-$4,500

$75 for customized itineraries estimated $4501 +

Couples / Honeymoons / Destination Weddings

$125 per couple for customized itineraries estimated $4500-$12,000

$235 per couple for customized itineraries estimated $12,000 +

Family Vacations or Small Group Planning

$  75 per family for customized itineraries estimated $3,500-$7,500

$150 per family for customized itineraries estimated $7,500 - $10,000

$275 per family for customized itineraries estimated $10,001 - $17,500

$500 per family for customized itineraries estimated $17,501 +

 

* If a deposit is required to prepare your vacation, it is simply a good faith deposit, which WILL BE DEDUCTED FROM THE FINAL PRICE of your trip.  LUX World Travel planning deposits are NOT an additional expense, however; it is non-refundable in the case you book your vacation elsewhere. 

We look forward to planning a spectacular journey for you.

Namaste'

Your LUX World Travel Team

 

 PAYMENT CONDITIONS   PLANNING YOUR VACATION

A Non-Refundable Deposit is required in order to start making reservations.  This is not a planning fee, but a portion price of your vacation that must be pre-paid upon acceptance of your itinerary, so that we may begin holding rooms, guides, transfers, or other segments of travel for your private journey. This non-refundable amount will vary depending on the nature and full price of your vacation.  All deposit amounts will be explained in full detail before we invoice for the vacation. 

Interim Payments may be required in order to secure airline tickets and deposit requests from special Hotel and Tour Operators.

Final Payment  for tours is due 6 weeks (42 days) prior to travel, or immediately after confirmation if booked within 6 weeks.  Customized vacation final payment terms will be explained at the time of booking, as each hotel, or resort offers a different payment and cancellation terms. 

Prices are subject to change until final payment had been made. Change in pricing could be the result of Hotel and Tour Operator price increases, fuel rises, and substantial exchange rate increases.
