Customizing the Travel Experience, Swain Destinations is the leading U.S. provider of completely personalized exotic vacation experiences.
Redefining luxury travel, Swain Destinations is the leading U.S. provider of completely customized exotic vacation experiences. Since 1987, Co-Founders Ian and Linda Swain, and their dedicated team of destination experts have offered American travelers the opportunity to design distinctive trips to intriguing international locales, including Australia, New Zealand, the South Pacific, Asia, India, and Africa. From adventure-packed trips to leisurely getaways, Swain Destinations curates itineraries based on each individual’s travel preferences. Dynamic experiences range from a chef’s table dining extravaganza on Hayman to a safari journey across the East African Plains.
The family-run business presents North American tourists with personalized service from veteran travel specialists, many of whom hail from the fascinating locales they sell. “We’re creating dynamic itineraries from scratch for each and every client,” Swain says. “What makes a trip booked through Swain so remarkable is our level of customer service. Many of our travel consultants have been with us nearly from the start, and they’re from the destinations they’re selling. We get excited to get others excited for visiting our native lands.”
In January 2014, Swain Destinations relaunched with a new mission and brand, while maintaining the commitment to delivering personalized travel experiences.
Whether celebrating a special occasion such as a milestone anniversary or simply looking to go on a one-of-a-kind vacation, clients enjoy booking through Swain Destinations from start to finish for the personalization and ability to tailor the travel experience. The knowledgeable travel consultants not only map out and plan the itinerary, but also follow up with customers, leading up to and after returning from their trips. “People always want the best for their family, and we feel like our customers are an extension of our family,” Swain says. “We treat everyone with that level of care and service to ensure that they have the most incredible experience.”
Swain Destinations creates tailored travel packages to Australia, New Zealand, the South Pacific, Africa, Asia, and India. Trip genres include Adventure, Diving, Indigenous, and Wildlife for intrepid travelers; Beach, Luxury, Romance, and Spa/Retreat for leisure vacationers; and City, Culinary, and Culture for cosmopolitan tourists. The company also offers specialization in Family and Golf vacations; as well as Cruise, Train, and Short-Stay options.
During the trip, Swain Destination gives travelers peace of mind on the ground through its network of support offices and partnerships with companies that offer assistance for matters such as a lost passport or baggage.
Using the same customized approach that shapes individual travelers’ itineraries, Swain Destinations manages group travel for corporations, community organizations, and civic groups seeking highly-detailed comprehensive arrangements.
Travel agents also coordinate travel through Swain Destinations, a preferred vendor for American Express Travel, Virtuoso, Signature Travel Network, Vacation.com, TravelSavers, and Ensemble Travel Group. In these cases, a Swain Destinations consultant connects with the travel agent and the traveler jointly to ensure an exclusively personalized experience.
