Custom Travel Design
Here's How It Will Go
Travel Design
Designing travel well is an art and Maisanté Travel Design strives for a balance between activity and rest, between simplicity and grandeur, between order and spontaneity. Travel encompasses more than the actual trip. It is the inspiration that took you there and the planning process. It’s what you discover while you’re there and the memories you bring home. While the destination is obviously central to the design process, the client’s personality and travel philosophy are equally important factors.
Similar to Interior Design, Trip Design starts with a vision and culminates in an expertly arranged affair that reflects your taste and preferences. We will work directly with you, listening closely, learning your travel needs and desires, and ultimately selecting the right destination and trip details for you.
In a world where online reservations have taken the place of specialized attention, custom travel design assists to bring back an enhanced travel experience. How great would it be to have access to first-hand knowledge of your dream destination without spending your life savings to achieve it? Maisanté Travel Design has set out to deliver just that. We strive to offer a one of a kind travel experience that is also cost-efficient.
Let us design you a vacation big enough to exceed all your dreams.
The Consultation
Every trip requires careful consideration and specific planning based on the destination(s), number of people traveling and time spent traveling. That careful consideration begins with a one-on-one 30 minute conversation with a travel consultant. The initial consultation is complimentary.
Custom Travel Design Fees
Travel Design Fee
Custom designed itineraries begin with a $300.00 non-refundable fee. It takes time to conduct research and put together a customized, tailored proposal that meets your travel needs. The Travel Design Fee charged by Maisanté Travel Design takes into consideration the initial consultation and discussion of your trip expectations. This fee includes the time spent researching, developing, and revising a proposal to create the perfect customized itinerary. In addition to covering the trip's logistics, it includes land arrangements such as hotels, trains, transfers, and scheduled activities. We are also happy to assist with simple restaurant reservations on-site at a resort or hotel where you are staying for no additional charge.
After your complementary consultation, if you choose to move forward with a custom itinerary you will receive an invoice for the non-refundable Travel Design Fee. The fee includes two price quotes for ONE DESTINATION and ONE DATE. Any ADDITIONAL DESTINATION(S) will result in an additional fee of $50 PER ADDITIONAL DESTINATION(S). Changes to the destination, date, etc. will result in an additional fee of $50 PER DESTINATION CHANGE AND PER DATE CHANGE. You will receive the price quotes via email within 3-4 business days of your consultation.

LAST MINUTE BOOKING FEE

While it is always better to plan travel in advance, we understand that our schedules and other obligations do not always allow us to do so. These booking require an upfront initiation fee of $200 (in addition to the $300 design fee).
HOLIDAY BOOKING FEE
​
Requests for travel between December 20 and January 4 are considered holiday or festive bookings and require an upfront initiation fee of $500 (in addition to the $300 design fee). Due to the limited availability of hotels this time of year and the strict cancellation policies, these fees cover the additional time and resources needed to find the perfect destination available for our clients as well as navigate the challenges of making a reservation during this season.

For our concierge services, including local restaurant reservations, detailed scheduling and suggestions for self-guided activities during your leisure time, theater tickets, interactions with suppliers on your behalf, and or organizing special events, our rates start at $200 per week of travel.
