Sandals Certified Specialist
I am so happy to partnering with the Sandals and Beaches. For one I have always dreamed of vacationing at a Sandals Resort with my wife. Now, that I've become a Sandals Certified Specialist, I have visited and toured multiple locations, and what's even better is I've helped others realize their dreams of vacationing at both Sandals and Beaches. I owe a lot to the Sandals and Beaches brand, along with my Unique Vacations, Business Development Manager for providing me the opportunity to learn all about them. Now, as I've learned more, I not only continue to boost my knowledge about each resort, I am also able to share my expertise through training with several agents that work alongside me with Phareway Travels. This is wonderful for the agency, for it opens the doors to book travelers from all across the United States that want to experience a luxury vacation in the Caribbean.

A Magical Trip
Reviewed By Courtney - Biloxi, MS | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
I recommend Phareway Travels 100%. They worked with me on my budget and having to change our travel dates twice! They found us the PERFECT accommodations in a new development about 2 miles from the entrance to Walt Disney World! The Residence Inn by Marriot at Flamingo Crossing one bedroom suite was perfect for my family. And they had a free breakfast with Mickey waffles!!And we were able to get a four day ticket with genie plus all while staying within my budget!

Mermaiden Voyage on VV
Reviewed By JMS - Dallas, TX | Traveled to Bimini Islands ~ Bahamas ~ Caribbean
Late review but thanks for reminding us to post a review from the Mermaiden Voyage on the Valiant Lady last Halloween. Having the mermaids on board was definitely not expected. Food was wonderful and loved the options for things to do. We are glad you recommended Virgin Voyages, they should have a successful future and can really appeal to anyone with an open mind that likes cruising without kids. Thanks for your guidance from selection to post voyage.

Carnival Glory Cruise

We were able to get prompt attention to a short notice cruise on Carnival 3 weeks ago. Kent was able to secure us our preferred cabin and had the added On board credit we were hoping for with our VIFP offer. Carnival Glory was fun and wasn't our first time on the cruise, piano bar was amazing and the food in the main dining room was wonderful. Thanks! We'll be back
