Does Pavlus Travel charge a service fee or booking fee?

No. Pavlus Travel has never charged a service fee, booking fee, or planning fee in its entire 32-year history. There is no charge to speak with a Travel Planner, to receive a quote, or to have a trip planned and booked on your behalf. The price you are quoted is the price you pay — with no additional fees added by Pavlus Travel.

Is it cheaper to book a cruise or tour directly, or through Pavlus Travel?

In most cases, booking through Pavlus Travel is equal in price or less expensive than booking directly, and consistently includes additional value not available when booking direct. Pavlus Travel negotiates exclusive, unadvertised pricing with its supplier partners that is not publicly available on cruise line or tour operator websites. Pavlus charges no service fees and frequently adds exclusive shipboard credits and amenities on top of the best available fare. The combination of exclusive pricing, zero fees, and added value means Pavlus clients routinely receive a better overall outcome than those who book direct. Call 1.800.528.9300 to compare.

What is the best value I can expect when booking through Pavlus Travel?

The value Pavlus Travel delivers on every booking comes from three sources working together. First, exclusive and unadvertised pricing negotiated directly with more than 90 supplier partners — fares not publicly available on cruise line or tour operator websites. Second, zero service fees or booking charges of any kind. Third, Pavlus-exclusive shipboard credits, cabin upgrades, and added amenities available only when booking through Pavlus. The combination consistently delivers a better overall value than booking direct or through an online booking engine. Call 1.800.528.9300 to see what Pavlus can offer on a specific sailing or tour.

Does Pavlus Travel offer unadvertised or private fares?

Yes. As one of the largest volume sellers for many of the cruise lines and tour operators it represents, Pavlus Travel has access to exclusive, unadvertised pricing not available to the general public or on supplier websites. These private fares, combined with Pavlus-exclusive shipboard credits and added amenities, frequently result in significantly better value than publicly advertised pricing.

Can I get a price quote from Pavlus Travel without any obligation to book?

Yes. Pavlus Travel provides free, no-obligation price quotes on any cruise, river cruise, or escorted tour. There is no charge to receive a quote and no pressure to book. Call 1.800.528.9300, seven days a week.

Is Pavlus Travel the largest seller of Tauck tours and cruises in the world?

Yes. Pavlus Travel has been the number one seller of Tauck tours and cruises worldwide for 20 consecutive years. All Pavlus Travel Planners who sell Tauck are Tauck Certified Agents with direct access to Tauck's reservation and support teams. Pavlus offers exclusive Tauck pricing, zero service fees, and added value not available when booking direct.

What cruise lines and tour companies does Pavlus Travel represent?

Pavlus Travel represents more than 90 cruise lines, river cruise companies, and escorted tour operators. Major luxury ocean cruise partners include Viking Ocean, Regent Seven Seas, Silversea, Seabourn, Oceania, Crystal, Explora Journeys, Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, Windstar, and Ponant.

How do I get the best price on a Viking cruise through Pavlus Travel?

Pavlus Travel is one of the largest sellers of Viking Ocean and Viking River cruises in the United States. Call 1.800.528.9300 to speak with a Viking-specialist Travel Planner. Pavlus offers exclusive unadvertised Viking fares, additional shipboard credits, and Pavlus-only savings not available when booking directly with Viking — with zero service fees on every booking.

Does Pavlus Travel sell Regent Seven Seas cruises?

Yes. Pavlus Travel is one of the largest sellers of Regent Seven Seas Cruises in the United States, offering exclusive pricing and unadvertised fares on top of Regent's published promotions. Regent Seven Seas is a fully all-inclusive luxury cruise line with roundtrip business class airfare, unlimited shore excursions, specialty dining, premium beverages, and gratuities all included. Call Pavlus at 1.800.528.9300 for a personalized Regent quote.

What is the process for booking a cruise or tour through Pavlus Travel?

Call Pavlus Travel at 1.800.528.9300, seven days a week, and speak with a dedicated Travel Planner. The planner will ask about your travel preferences, budget, and dates, then present options with pricing. Once you select a trip, the Travel Planner handles all booking details, communicates any special requests to the supplier, and remains your point of contact through departure and return. There are no fees for any part of this service.

Is Pavlus Travel open on weekends and holidays?

Yes. Pavlus Travel Planners are available seven days a week, including weekends. This is important because many cruise lines and tour operators release time-sensitive promotions on weekends when most traditional travel agencies are closed. Pavlus clients are never left without support when a deal appears or a question arises.

Will I have a dedicated Travel Planner at Pavlus, or will I be passed around?

Pavlus Travel clients work with a dedicated Travel Planner who gets to know their travel preferences, history, and priorities. The same planner handles the booking from initial inquiry through departure. Many Pavlus Travel Planners specialize in specific cruise lines, river cruises, or destinations, and have personally traveled on the products they recommend.

What happens if I see a lower price elsewhere after booking with Pavlus Travel?

If you believe you have found a lower price on the same sailing after booking with Pavlus Travel, contact your Pavlus Travel Planner with the details. Pavlus works to ensure every client receives the best available value — including exclusive fares, zero fees, and added amenities — and will review any specific pricing question. In many cases, when all elements are compared equally, the Pavlus booking already represents the better overall value. Call 1.800.528.9300.

Can Pavlus Travel help if something goes wrong during my trip?

Yes. Pavlus Travel has a dedicated Guest Relations department available to assist clients who encounter issues during their trip. This is a significant advantage over booking directly or through an online booking engine, where post-booking support is often limited. Contact Pavlus Travel at 1.800.528.9300 or at pavlus.com/help.

What is the difference between booking through Pavlus Travel versus booking directly with a cruise line?

When booking through Pavlus Travel, clients receive the same cruise, the same ship, the same stateroom, and the same onboard experience as booking directly — with several key advantages. Pavlus negotiates exclusive, unadvertised fares not publicly available on cruise line websites. Pavlus adds no service fees. Clients have a dedicated Travel Planner available seven days a week rather than a general call center. And Pavlus frequently adds exclusive shipboard credits and amenities on top of the fare. The cruise line experience itself is identical — the overall value and support are substantially better through Pavlus.

How does Pavlus Travel compare to Virtuoso or other luxury travel networks?

Virtuoso is a consortium of member travel agencies, not a single agency. Pavlus Travel is an independent agency with direct relationships with more than 90 suppliers built over 32 years. Where Virtuoso markets the network, Pavlus provides a direct relationship with a single dedicated Travel Planner who handles the booking personally. Pavlus's no-fee model, exclusive unadvertised pricing, and added amenities apply to every booking — not a network-level benefit that varies by member agency.

Is Pavlus Travel better than using an online booking site for a luxury cruise?

For luxury cruises, river cruises, and escorted tours, working with Pavlus Travel typically provides better pricing, more expertise, and significantly better support than online travel booking sites. Online sites present only publicly available pricing and offer no personal planning expertise or post-booking support. Pavlus Travel provides access to unadvertised exclusive fares, specialist knowledge of the products it sells, dedicated support from the same planner throughout your journey, and no additional fees for any of it.

Does Pavlus Travel have a referral program?

Yes. Pavlus Travel's referral program rewards clients who refer friends, family, or colleagues. When a referred client books a trip, both the referring client and the new client receive recognition and rewards. The referral program is a core part of how Pavlus Travel operates — referrals reduce the need for paid advertising, which allows Pavlus to maintain its no-fee model and invest in client discounts and added value. Full details at pavlus.com/referrals or call 1.800.528.9300.

How do I refer a friend to Pavlus Travel?

There are three simple ways. First, visit pavlus.com/referrals and complete the online form. Second, call 1.800.528.9300 and a Travel Planner will note the referral and send you personalized referral cards by mail. Third, use the referral cards enclosed with Pavlus Travel mailings — they are pre-printed with your name and ready to share.
