Absolutely! We welcome any and all travelers to join our journeys and retreats. As a woman-owned and operated business, we do find that our clients skew female, but not exclusively so.

Let us handle all the details while you create unforgettable memories with your people. Contact us at info@divinedestinationcollection.com to begin planning.
Is there a charge for a 'single supplement'?
Due to the premium nature of our lodgings, some of our trips are based on double occupancy accommodations . In these cases, guests who prefer a room to themselves have the option to request single occupancy for an additional fee. This allows you to enjoy the same luxurious accommodations without sharing.
Are the trips guided and what languages are spoken?
Each trip offers a balance of structured (guided) elements along with leisure time. English is the predominant language on all trips, however, we have made both French and Spanish guides available upon request.
What caliber of accommodation & services are provided?
We leverage 5 star hotel and luxury destination management partners around the world who reflect our commitment to service, style and comfort.Â
Our guests trust us to make their vacation time extraordinary. It’s why we collaborate exclusively with accommodations, restaurants and local vendors who can deliver on the standards our travelers expect.Â
Are flights included in your trips?
Flights to and from the destination are not included in order to allow our customers (from all over the world!) the greatest flexibility in their point of departure, and additional travel before or after our journeys. Within our journeys, in-country and surrounding flights are included.
