Our story · since 1976
Half a century of getting people exactly where they dreamed of going
A small, independent travel company — the same family business since 1976, planning cruises, tours, resorts and custom journeys for people who’d rather have someone in their corner than a booking screen.
Independent, personal, and on your side
No call-centre scripts, no upsell quotas. You work with the same advisor from the first idea to the trip home — and we’ll match a competitor’s price rather than lose you to one.
Places we’ve been
We recommend itineraries we’ve travelled ourselves — the hotels worth the splurge, the days worth slowing down, the ones to skip.
An expert network
Cruise lines, tour operators, resorts and on-the-ground partners on every continent — relationships built over five decades, so the right doors open for you.
Looked after, always
Support before, during and after every trip — a real person to call when a flight shifts or plans change, time zones notwithstanding.
“Tell us your dream trip. We’ll handle the rest — and we’ll be there if anything changes along the way.”
The Idea Travel Company
Tell us where you’d like to go — we’ll plan the rest
Cruises, tours, all-inclusive resorts and custom packages, arranged by people who’ve travelled them. No obligation — and we match competitor prices.
