Many people wonder about the benefits of booking with a travel advisor instead of directly with the cruise line or a discounter. What if you could access exclusive amenities like a private welcome reception, an onboard host, and a complimentary shore excursion? That’s the case when you book with Coastwise Travel and choose a Distinctive Voyages sailing.

Exclusively available when booked with a professional travel advisor like Coastwise Travel, Distinctive Voyages pair exceptional cruises with added amenities and hosted experiences at no extra cost. Each sailing features a dedicated Distinctive Voyages host and special touches that make your journey more personalized and immersive.

Embark on your cruise and receive a welcome letter in your stateroom, inviting you to a special reception. Enjoy beverages and appetizers as you meet other Distinctive Voyages guests and your host. Mix and mingle in a relaxed setting and learn more about your exclusive shore event.A key benefit of the program is the included, specially curated shore event, offered only to Distinctive Voyages guests booked through a participating agency like Coastwise Travel. Examples include a “Busan Cultural Highlights” tour in South Korea, visiting Gamcheon Culture Village, Gukje Market, Jagalchi Fish Market, and Yongdusan Park, or a “Private Car & Driver: Highlights of Punta Arenas” experience in Chile, featuring historic mansions, the Braun Menéndez Museum, the Nao Victoria Museum, and views over the Strait of Magellan.
