The tour operator provides on-island customer care representatives to assist guests 24 hours a day on most islands. In addition to providing a warm Caribbean welcome, these professionals are trained to help guests plan on-island activities to make vacation dreams a reality, whether it's a trip around the island or dinner for two under a starlit sky.
To further enrich guests' vacation experience, the company currently offers "Love Bonus" discounts and special offers for on-island restaurants, shops and attractions valued at up to $1,500 for Jamaica, $550 for Barbados, $500 for St. Lucia and $450 for Grenada.

Guests on every flight are served gourmet chef-inspired meals and refreshing complimentary champagne.
