Planning a cruise? Talk to someone who has actually sailed it.

Thirty minutes with a Marigold advisor certified in the destination you are considering. You will leave knowing where to go, when to go, and what your budget actually buys.

No cost, and no obligation to book anything.

This is the one that matters most. It tells us which advisor to put you with, because we match you to someone who has actually been where you are going.

Question 1 of 4: Where are you thinking?

Timing drives everything, from what is available to what it costs. A rough window is plenty for now.

Question 2 of 4: When would you like to travel?

Who you travel with shapes the whole plan, from the pace of the days to how we handle the details.

Question 3 of 4: Who is traveling?

Last step. An advisor will call to set up your thirty minutes, usually the same business day.

Question 4 of 4: What is your name, email, and cell phone number?

Most travel agents are order-takers

They collect your dates, your destination, your travel party, and your budget. Then they book accordingly.

That information matters. It is also where the work should start, not where it should end.

A true travel advisor goes further. We ask the questions that uncover what will actually make your trip worth taking, and we bring the kind of knowledge that turns an ordinary itinerary into one you talk about for years.

Nick Krueger

We had the smoothest trip planning and there were 5 different couples! When we decided to do a couples trip we knew we would need a travel agent to help us out and Marigold absolutely delivered. All inclusive resort trip to Mexico is booked! Thank you so much!

My family just returned from a bucket list trip to Greece. Rebecca worked with us to understand what we wanted and then set up the most amazing trip! Travel abroad can be stressful, but Marigold Travel had everything arranged and perfectly communicated, so our family was able to have a stress free experience of a lifetime.

It is a comforting feeling to know that we have an expert and a true professional working so hard on our vacation so that we didn’t have to. I have had nothing but a great experience and would give the highest recommendation to Rebecca and Marigold Travel Company. We can’t wait to plan our next trip with them!

FAQs

Quick Answers for Your Travel Questions with Marigold!

Is the planning session really free?

Yes. Thirty minutes with an advisor, no cost, no card, no obligation.

Do I have to book with you afterward?

No. Some people book with us, some take what they learned and think about it. Either is fine.

What is the planning fee?

When you hire us to plan a trip, we charge a fee for our time and expertise, typically $147. When you book that trip through us, we waive it.

What if I do not know where I want to go?

That is one of the best reasons to talk to us. Narrowing it down is most of what a good advisor does.

Do you only plan cruises?

No. Cruises are a specialty, and we also plan Europe, Alaska, and US city trips.

How soon will someone call?

Usually the same business day. Our advisors work 8:00am to 5:00pm Central, with team members in Eastern and Mountain time zones.
