“When cruise ships come in at Charlottetown or Halifax, we’ll invite our clients onboard to experience the cruise line and have dinner, lunch, or a glass of champagne,” Stewart explains. “It’s about bringing the experience to them.” Whether that’s an air ticket to Toronto or a lifelong-dream tour of Europe, Stewart Travel Group wants to make it an exceptional experience for everyone who books with them. “It’s important we take care of people extremely well and keep communication lines open,” says Paula Stewart. With so much to experience, how does Stewart Travel Group help its clients narrow down their vacation plans? “Most times, people know what experiences they want, they’re just not sure where that will take them,” says Stewart. Their travel advisors ask the right questions to help clarify what’s important to clients, and suggest a holiday for them–whether that’s recharging batteries on the beach with family and friends in
Jamaica, or an unforgettable Peruvian culinary tour.
New this year, Stewart Travel Group will host tours to Tuscany with a local wine sommelier. Former CBC personality Kevin “Boomer” Gallant is also hosting a group trip to Ireland in the fall. “We have an amazing time, and it’s also about peace of mind,” says Paula Stewart.
“Dealing with a travel advisor makes that process much easier and more confident,” says Stewart. “Our relationships with our partners are paramount. We have a number of preferred partners, and that’s important to us.” One of Stewart Travel Group’s specialities are their group tours to destinations around the world. “I’m really proud of all our programs; they’ve very unique,” says Stewart. This year, they’ll bring the East Coast to Europe when they host Jim Cuddy, lead singer of Blue Rodeo, on a river cruise along the Danube. Another important trip is their 13-day faith-based tour of Italy, which culminates in Oberammergau with the Passion Play. “It only takes place once every ten years, and offers an exclusive departure,” explains Stewart. “No one else in the world has that date.”
