Luxury is in the details, leave those to us
Our process
They key to our success is knowing you, our client. Lawson Luxury Travel uses a Brownell’s collaborative, process-driven approach, Discover More, to designing personalized travel specifically for you.
DISCOVER
We start the design of each trip we create with a complimentary discovery session to get to know you and your vision for your trip. During this conversation, we want to learn about your past travel experiences, likes, dislikes, why you want to travel and how we can make this trip spectacular for you. At this time, we will also review Lawson Luxury Travel’s consulting fees and explain our design process in detail.
DESIGN
During this phase of the trip planning process, we put all our resources and expertise to work for you. We design a custom itinerary based on our Discover conversation that brings your vision for the trip to life and try to include some extras you might not have thought about. You can be as involved or hands off as you like.
CONNECT
Once your itinerary is finalized, we will stay in touch with you to make sure you are ready to travel, excited to travel and have all the latest information about your destination. We are always available for last minute questions, restaurant recommendations or Behind the scenes, we will be working with our partners to secure specials requests, upgrades and amenities.
Experience
Our team and partners will be available to ensure everything goes smoothly while you are traveling. We are always a phone call away if you encounter any issues while you are traveling.
SHARE
Our favorite part of this process is hearing from you during your travels, whether it be a quick text to say you are having a great time or an Instagram post of your early morning leopard cub sightings. And we can’t wait to hear all the details of your trip when you return home. We want to know what you loved and what you didn’t…honestly.
TYPES OF TRAVEL
family travel
Your time with your family is precious. There are a finite number of spring breaks, summer vacations, and family holidays. We want to help you make the most of each of them by taking away the stress of trip planning and creating a truly memorable experience for each member of the family. We believe travel is the greatest gift you can give children.
Luxury Cruises
Let us use our extensive experience at sea to plan the perfect cruise for you, whether you consider yourself a non-cruiser and it's your first cruise, or your an experienced cruiser that wants to try an expedition adventure or river cruise in Europe. The only way to see Antartica is by boat!
honeymoons
Your honeymoon is as personal as your choice of partners in life. We work with you to understand you, your vision for your romantic get-a-way and are committed to making it a reality. Our focus is on choosing the perfect destination, expertly planned logistics, customized activities, unique experiences, delicious private dining experiences, and just the right amount of relaxation.
CELEBRATIONS
Let us make milestone birthdays, anniversaries and anything else you want to celebrate in exotic destinations with friends extra special. A ladies trip to St Barths to celebrate a big promotion, a group of friends sailing in Croatia to commemorate a 50th birthday, or a private anniversary dinner for 2 in a wine cellar in Lake Como - we are here to make it happen.
Safaris
The first time you see one of the Big 5 a few meters from your safari vechile it is awe inspiring and completely addicting. Safaris are truly a unique travel experience that combines nature, culture and luxury that is hard to compare to other types of travel. While the focus is often the game viewing, clients are often surprised at the exceedingly high level of service, food and wine.
SABBATICALs
Sometimes you just don’t have enough vacation days to see all the places you want to or you want to work from a different country for a year, while your children are immersed in the the local culture and language. From one month to one year sabbaticals we help individuals plan all aspects of these adventures and are available throughout the entire travel experience if something goes “bump”.
