The Ultimate F.A.Q.

Frequently Asked Questions

"Why should I use Conquer Travel instead of booking myself?"

Sure, you could spend hours Googling, comparing prices, and reading reviews—but why would you when we can do it all for you? We bring the expertise, insider connections, and exclusive perks to the table. Plus, if something goes wrong, you’ve got a whole team in your corner ready to fix it. DIY travel is fine, but stress-free, expertly planned travel? That’s our jam.

"Does using Conquer Travel cost more than booking it myself?"

Not at all! In fact, it’s the same price (and sometimes even cheaper with the perks we can snag for you). Here’s the deal: hotels, cruise lines, and tour operators pay us a commission for booking with them. They’d rather reward us than shell out big bucks to those book-it-yourself sites. So, you get all the benefits of expert planning and insider deals without spending a penny extra. Win-win, right?

"What are the benefits of booking a cruise through Conquer Travel?"

Plus, if anything goes sideways, we’re here to fix it faster than you can say “all aboard!”

"How far in advance should I book my cruise?"

Booking a cruise is like grabbing tickets to a hit Broadway show—you don’t want to wait until the last minute and end up in the nosebleeds. We recommend booking 6-12 months in advance to snag the best deals and cabin options. Our team will make sure you get the perfect spot, whether it’s a cozy cabin or one with a balcony for those dreamy ocean views.
