The official travel vendors list provides a list of air and hotel packages, guided tours, and cruise companies you are allowed to book your, “Choose Your Own Adventure” travel certificate through. The rules and guidelines of this list are compiled of safe, reliable, good quality package options that will not lead you astray. The websites are listed on this tab. You can click on each one to investigate further in case you want to do your own research prior to reaching out.
Please note, land package components must be pre-purchased by Leisure World Travel with the same tour company from the official vendor list. The components consist of a combination of round-trip air, along with resort/hotel, car rental, travel insurance, and excursions. Some destinations do not offer all these components therefore we will not be able to prepurchase. Daily resort fees are not prepaid and will be paid out of pocket when you check out. Please also note new to this year, most car rental taxes are included however, Delta Vacations does not include taxes and they will be paid upon returning the car rental.
If your travels take you to sea, cruise packages must also be purchased from a preferred cruising vendor. The components of your cruise eligible to be paid for with the travel voucher include the cruise fare, travel insurance, pre or post cruise hotel stays, airfare (if booked directly with the cruise line), cruise port transportation, and prepaid service gratuities. Cruise additives like beverage and Wi-Fi packages are only eligible to be purchased with the travel voucher if they are offered in combination with the cruise fare itself. Cruise companies that offer this combination fare include Princess Cruise Line, Celebrity Cruise Line, and Norwegian Cruise Line. If these components have to be purchased after the cruise fare itself is secured, they are not eligible to be purchased with the travel voucher and must be paid out of pocket. Other components not eligible for purchase include shore excursions, specialty dining, spa services, arcade vouchers, etc. Please contact our cruise expert, Kennedi Lako, with any additional cruising voucher eligibility questions. Her best contact is by email at Kennedi.LWT@outlook.com or via phone at 701-226-9528.

Many of the travel companies provide a “cancel for any reason” insurance. This protects your investment once you’re booked by allowing you to use the cost of insurance to cancel. You will receive a credit voucher in each person’s name on the remaining balance to use within the year with the travel company you purchased your trip through. In addition, while you’re traveling it will cover trip delay and interruption for unexpected travel delays and unexpected costs. A claim can be filed once you return from your trip. Please keep any receipt of additional purchases you have incurred due to the delay. Please note the reimbursement is at the discretion of the insurance company.
Baggage is not included and will be paid when you check in 24 hours in advance. Depending on the airline, a carry-on is most of the time free of charge. To find out the exact rules go online to check the website of the airline you’re traveling on.
