The Perks You Can’t Book Yourself
It's not what you know, it's who you're booked through.
There's a quiet difference between booking a hotel or cruise yourself online, and booking it through an agency that's part of a global network with real buying power. As a member of Signature Travel Network — a co-operative of over 6,000 travel professionals worldwide, generating more than $6 billion in annual sales — I have access to exclusive benefits that simply aren't available if you book direct.
What that means for your hotel stays:
Daily breakfast for two
Room upgrades, subject to availability
Spa credits
A complimentary lunch or dinner for two during your stay
Complimentary rounds of golf at select properties
Airport transfers
In-room welcome amenities, and VIP recognition on arrival
What that means for cruises:
Exclusive savings not available through general booking sites
Cabin upgrades, subject to availability
Shipboard credit to spend on board
Pre-paid gratuities
Complimentary shore events
For luxury cruise clients: complimentary car and driver shore experiences in select ports
The bigger picture
None of this is about luxury for its own sake — it's about making sure that when you book through Whitestar Travel, you're getting more than you would booking the exact same room or cabin yourself. Same hotel, same ship, same dates — but with extras built in simply because of the relationships and buying power behind the booking.
