Norwegian Getaway | Greece
Family cruises are about more than just the ship — it’s the time together, the ports, the food, the fun, and the memories you bring home.
This is exactly why I love travel.
Family cruises are more than just getting on a ship. It’s the time together, the food, the ports, the pictures, the laughs, the little moments, and the memories everybody talks about when they get home.
Seeing my family enjoy the Norwegian Getaway in Greece is the kind of travel experience I want Elite Xscapes clients to feel inspired by.
Not just “we went somewhere.”

“We really did that.”

## FAQ

### How do I start planning my trip?

Start by filling out the Plan My Xscape inquiry form. Tell me where you want to go, your travel dates, budget, who’s coming, and the kind of vibe you’re looking for. Once I review your request, I’ll follow up with the next steps and begin putting together options that fit your trip.

### Do I have to pay everything upfront?

Not always. Payment requirements depend on the trip, hotel, cruise line, or package you’re booking. Some reservations only require a deposit to get started, while others may require a larger payment or full payment upfront. I’ll always let you know exactly what’s due before anything is booked.

### Do you offer payment plans?

Yes, when the supplier allows it. Many vacations and group trips can be paid over time with a deposit followed by scheduled payments. Payment plan options, deadlines, and final payment dates will be explained before you book.

### Can you help with group trips?

Absolutely. Group Xscapes are one of my favorite things to plan. Whether it’s a girls’ trip, family getaway, couples trip, birthday celebration, retreat, or cruise, I can help organize accommodations, payments, activities, transfers, and the overall experience so the group isn’t trying to figure everything out on their own.

### What are Palace Elite & VIP Xscapes?

These are elevated travel experiences featuring select Palace Resorts, Le Blanc, and other luxury destinations available through Elite Xscapes. Depending on the property, availability, and booking terms, guests may have access to special resort experiences or member-related benefits. Once I know where you want to go, I’ll confirm the options available for your specific trip.

### How do your vacation giveaways work?

From time to time, Elite Xscapes offers promotional vacation giveaways and travel incentives. Each giveaway has its own terms, destinations, eligibility requirements, and redemption rules. Recipients may still be responsible for things like airfare, taxes, resort fees, transportation, or other costs listed in the offer. Always read the full giveaway details before entering.

### Do you book flights?

Yes. I can help arrange flights as part of your travel plans, or you can choose to book your own airfare. Just let me know what works best for you when you submit your inquiry.

### Can I book a cruise with Elite Xscapes?

Yes. I can help with individual cruises, family cruises, group cruises, celebrations at sea, and more. I can also help you compare cabin categories, dates, itineraries, and available payment options.

### Do you help with excursions and transfers?

Yes. Depending on the destination, I can help arrange airport transfers, private transportation, excursions, tours, activities, and other add-ons to make your Xscape feel complete.

### What happens after I submit an inquiry?

Once your inquiry is submitted, I’ll review the details and make sure I understand what you’re looking for. If I need anything else, I’ll reach out. From there, I’ll begin researching options and guide you through pricing, availability, deposits, and the booking process. Submitting an inquiry does not confirm a reservation — your trip is only confirmed once the required payment is made and official confirmation is received.
