Independent Tours
If you’re one who likes the idea of exploring a destination on your own, at your own pace and on your own schedule, then independent travel is for you. But "winging it" without having some sort of plan in place is a gamble, and paying as you go can be a drain on your travel budget. By working with a Ships and Trips Travel Specialist you can create an independent vacation experience that suits your tastes, but packaged together to offer value.
We'll start by putting together the components of your vacation. Maybe you want a trip to a tropical island, with flights, airport transfers, and accommodations in a hotel, resort or vacation home. Perhaps you want to spend a week in Italy, dividing your time between Rome and Florence, with accommodations in each city and train tickets from one place to the next. Or you have a vacation home already arranged, and you’re in need of just flights and a rental car. Our specialists can help to "package" all the components you need to make your dream vacation a reality, and at money-saving "package" pricing.

Customized Tours
You may want to have a completely detailed itinerary, similar to an escorted tour, but you prefer to travel on your own rather than with a group. F.I.T. is an old-fashioned travel acronym for "Fully Independent Travel" which refers to any trip that is planned out in advance, day by day, city by city, down to the last detail. These plans can take quite a bit of time to arrange the right accommodations, transportation, sight-seeing and making sure that everything is covered. There is an art to putting together a trip like this, and the most discerning travelers would prefer to pay a bit more to get this level of service.
The specialists at Ships and Trips Travel know the destinations well – they know the small independent bed and breakfasts and the luxury hotels, which private tour guides speak English, which car and driver service offers the most efficient service – and for the person who puts quality first, there is no better way to travel. Our specialist are ready to work with you to design the perfect trip.
