How do you define luxury travel experiences?
For different people it can mean different things – fabulous suites in the finest hotels, private and exclusive experiences, traveling without stress or strict timelines, being taken care of at every turn and enjoying bespoke experience that exceed expectations on every level – just to name a few. One thing is certain – all the details must be thought out and prepared so the experience is seamless and of the highest level.

Who is an adventure traveler?
In our opinion it’s someone that is ready to go someplace new and experience something they haven’t done before. The misconception is that adventurers have to be uber fit and ready to bungee jump off the nearest bridge. Not so! Adventure can mean anything from a wonderful walk to zip-lining, diving, horseback riding, paragliding or even some degree of physical risk. That’s the great thing about it – YOU define the adventure! Some of our favorite adventure partners include Swain Destinations, Active Adventures, Alpine Adventures, Backroads, Celebrity Cruises, Intrepid Travel and Explora Journeys.
Expedition travel is for those that want to reach the farthest corners of the earth and have those “once in a lifetime” experiences.
Think of the Galapagos, Antarctica, the northern polar regions, deserts, mountains, river rafting, safaris in remote destinations and the like. Does that mean expedition travel needs to be physical taxing or uncomfortable? Not in the least! Expedition travelers are curious and engaged learners that want to broaden their horizons and often “make a difference” in the places they explore. Some of our favorite partners for these travels are Big Five Tours & Expeditions, Linblad Expeditions, Quark Expeditions, Remote Lands, Aurora Expeditions and & Beyond. When is comes to the world of expedition travel the opportunities are endless – you just have to know how to find them and make them happen.

Travel With a Purpose
Tourism is a subject that is constantly debated across the world. Increased air travel, global warming and wildlife poaching are among the topics that regularly arise in global discussions. Here at Cline & Co. Travel Consulting, there are smaller commitments and responsible travel practices we try to follow. I attentively hand-pick destinations and partners that conform certain criteria in sustainability or community outreach programmes.
Being responsible in the way you travel does not mean you have to compromise on luxury. In Africa, some of the most exclusive camps across the untouched savannahs are also some of the most sustainable and innovative. In South America, programmes have been put in place for reforestation and community development efforts among the most remote of destinations. In Australia, some of the grandest hotels in national parks conserve tradition and pastoral values.
We proudly support and give back in the communities where our clients live and travel. A few of our favorite causes are –
