so you can simply relax and be a guest at your own party.

Imagine a journey where every detail is thoughtfully handled and tailored to YOU.

Some travelers enjoy planning every detail themselves. But for many, working with a trusted travel advisor not only saves valuable time and eases the stress of logistics—it also opens doors to experiences and access that simply aren’t available when booking alone. With our expertise, global connections, and personalized guidance, your journey feels seamless, enriched, and designed around you from beginning to end.

Why should I use a travel advisor when I can book travel on my own?

Booking with ASCENDA Travel means exclusive VIP perks—at the same rates you’d find yourself. Think:
  • Daily breakfast for two
  • $100 resort credit
  • Complimentary upgrades
  • Priority check-in/out when available

It’s more than a reservation—it’s a better experience from the moment you arrive.

Why wouldn’t I just book a hotel directly?

Yes, our design fee covers the personalized time and expertise we invest to thoughtfully craft your unique trip, tailored to your style and travel goals. 


Do you charge a design fee, and why?

No—you’ll receive the same (or better) rates as booking direct, plus added perks, upgrades, and VIP treatment unavailable through online sites.

Do I pay more for a hotel when booking through ASCENDA Travel?

No—our trips aren’t priced line by line, and here’s why: many elements are bundled to secure the best overall value, including exclusive amenities and experiences you won’t find publicly listed. 

In addition, our partners operate under confidential contracts to prevent us from sharing individual rates. What we do promise is full respect of your budget—we’ll refine your itinerary until it feels just right.


Do you provide itemized pricing? 

Absolutely—we never travel without it. Insurance provides peace of mind and protects your investment by covering:
  • Unexpected disruptions — illness, weather, or emergencies
  • Medical needs abroad — hospital stays and evacuation
  • Trip cancellation or interruption reimbursement
  • Delays — coverage for meals, hotels, and transport
  • Baggage protection — for lost, stolen, or damaged items

We’re happy to provide a tailored quote at your request.

Do you recommend travel insurance? 

We don’t book directly with miles or points, but we can connect you with trusted partners who specialize in maximizing their value.

Do you book travel using miles or points?

Yes—we partner with an expert air team skilled in complex itineraries and available 24/7 to assist if plans change. No long hold times, ever.
Note: You’re welcome to book your own flights if you’d like to use miles or points.

Do you book air travel? 

We focus on seamless, personalized travel. Our preferred hotels, resorts, and private homes offer consistent service, curated amenities, and exclusive perks that vacation rentals often can’t match.

Why don’t you book through VRBO?
