Why We Always Recommend Travel Insurance

At The Good Life Travel Company, we believe every traveler deserves peace of mind. That’s why we highly recommend travel insurance for every trip — no matter where you’re headed.

Over the years, we’ve heard countless horror stories from travelers who skipped insurance… trips cut short by emergencies, medical bills piling up abroad, luggage lost for good, and once-in-a-lifetime vacations that never even got off the ground. With the right coverage, these nightmares could have been avoided — or at least softened.

We offer a full range of options with trip protection, medical coverage, and multiple coverage levels to fit your needs and budget. And here’s the thing: we can provide you with a travel insurance quote whether you booked your trip with us or not — because we believe in its importance that much.

Don’t leave your dream trip to chance. Connect with one of our Travel Specialists today and get a travel insurance quote for your next adventure.

🌍 Travel smart. Travel safe. Travel insured.

Luxury Isn’t Just Where You Stay… It’s How You’re Treated.

True luxury travel comes with next-level service — the kind that anticipates what you need before you even think to ask.

We’re talking:
🧳 A butler who unpacks your luggage and presses your evening wear
🥂 A private host who ensures your champagne glass is never empty
🚘 A personal driver waiting curbside, not a rideshare app in sight
📱 A concierge who books your dinner, spa, or yacht — with a single text

This is the difference that elevates a trip to an experience.
And when you work with our team, we match you with the level of service you expect — and then go a little beyond that.

Because you deserve to feel like the VIP you are. ✨

Let’s Redefine What Luxury Travel Really Looks Like
When most people think of “luxury travel,” they picture infinity pools, 5-star resorts, maybe a fancy suite. That’s part of it — sure.

But the real luxury?
It’s traveling in a way most people don’t even know is possible.

🚂 Like sipping wine aboard a glass-domed luxury train as you glide through the Canadian Rockies.

🛶 Or chartering an all-inclusive yacht to island-hop in the Adriatic — no crowds, no schedules, just you and the sea.

🧊 Maybe it’s a luxury expedition cruise in Antarctica, complete with a heated balcony and a personal polar guide.

🛩️ Or a private jet itinerary across Africa with overnight stays in tented suites where the stars are your ceiling and wildlife roam just outside your door.

This is luxury beyond “fancy.” It’s freedom. It’s access. It’s the once-in-a-lifetime moments, planned by someone who knows where to find them. We specialize in this kind of luxury, and trust us — once you know it exists, you’ll never travel the same again.

Curious what this could look like for you? Let’s talk - our team of full-time, knowledgable, and experience travel specialist are always ready to share our passion. No pressure. Just possibility. 🌍

What’s better than a dream vacation? A dream vacation with exclusive access.
Imagine…

✨ Touring the Vatican before it opens to the public
✨ Private after-hours access to a top art museum

✨ Skipping the lines everywhere

When you book with our team, you’re not just getting a trip — you’re unlocking experiences that most travelers never even knew were possible.

That’s the beauty of working with a luxury travel expert.
We know the right people, ask the right questions, and open the right doors.

Your vacation should feel special — because you are.

Dreaming of turquoise water, sunshine, and fruity drinks with little umbrellas… but don’t have a passport (or time to wait for one)? Don’t worry — we’ve got you covered with some incredible destinations you can visit with just a U.S. ID.

Here are a few of The Good Life Travel Company’s top no-passport-required escapes:

🇵🇷 Puerto Rico – Walk the cobblestone streets of Old San Juan, hike through El Yunque Rainforest, or soak in the luxury of beachfront resorts in Condado, Isla Verde, or Dorado. Culture, cuisine, and coastline — all in one unforgettable trip.

🇻🇮 U.S. Virgin Islands (St. Thomas, St. John & St. Croix) – Shop duty-free in St. Thomas, snorkel colorful coral reefs off St. Croix, or hike through the lush trails of Virgin Islands National Park on St. John. These islands are pure paradise — and yes, still part of the U.S.

🚢 Closed-Loop Caribbean Cruises – Sail away from U.S. ports to bucket list destinations like the Bahamas, Cozumel, Jamaica, and more — no passport needed when you cruise round-trip from places like Miami, Galveston, or Port Canaveral. (We still highly recommend having one, but you can cruise without it.)
