Everything you need to know about working with CVIEWS Travel, our planning process, deposits, and vacation types.
CVIEWS Travel specializes in Caribbean and all-inclusive vacations, ocean and river cruises, family getaways, romantic escapes (honeymoons and anniversaries), luxury resort stays, and custom international journeys across Europe, the Americas, and Asia.
Our process follows 5 straightforward steps: 1) You submit your trip request online, 2) We hold a short discovery consultation to understand your preferences, 3) We present curated travel proposals for you to review, 4) We finalize and secure your reservations once you’re comfortable, and 5) We deliver organized itineraries and support you until you return home.
Not at all! Many of our clients start with just a general idea, such as "a warm beach with great food" or "an exciting family cruise." During our consultation, we help narrow down options based on your dates, travel style, and budget.

Sharing your approximate dates, destination ideas, number of adults and children (with ages), vacation style, and general budget range gives us the best starting point. Never submit passport numbers or credit card numbers on standard web forms.
In most cases, an initial deposit is required at the time of booking to secure your stateroom or resort reservation, with the final balance due 45 to 90 days prior to departure. Requirements and policies vary by supplier, destination, and booking.
You will immediately receive a confirmation SMS and email with a link to schedule your short discovery consultation. During that call, we review your trip parameters and begin curating custom proposals.
Yes, we strongly recommend comprehensive travel protection for all clients. Travel protection helps safeguard your vacation investment against unexpected trip cancellations, medical emergencies abroad, flight interruptions, and lost baggage. Requirements and policies vary by supplier, destination, and booking.
