Our Travel Specialties
Embrace adventure, your way
Whatever journey you’ve been dreaming of next, let Hartwell Travel Co. bring it to life. Explore the wide variety of vacations we can design for you in partnership with our vetted travel suppliers across the globe:
Let the journey begin
Effortless Exploration
River Cruises
Revel in a vacation that’s equal parts refined relaxation and cultured discovery. River cruising is one of the most effortless ways to explore Europe—and beyond—aboard sleek, specially designed vessels that sail through the heart of captivating destinations. Embrace a more intimate style of cruising; your crew will quickly learn your name as you share your journey with a smaller number of fellow passengers. Take your time exploring each port at your own pace, or join guided walking tours, castle visits, cycling adventures, cooking classes, and more.
We especially love matching our travel clients up with river cruise itineraries sparked by their interests—whether that’s a tulip time sailing through the Netherlands in the spring, a wine-focused itinerary that winds through the vineyard-strewn banks of France’s Bordeaux region, or a festive holiday sailing celebrating Germany’s jolly Christmas markets. Not done exploring? Let us extend your adventure with a custom-designed itinerary before or after your river cruise!
Anchors and Worries Away
Ocean Cruises
Let the waves wash your worries away on an ocean cruise adventure expertly designed by Hartwell Travel Co. We work closely with you to uncover your cruising tastes and match you with the cruise line, ship, itinerary, and even the cabin category that's the perfect fit for your travel style.
In addition to luxurious “relax and unwind” cruises through the Caribbean and Mediterranean, we also help our clients set sail for wild adventures aboard expedition cruises. Check off big bucket-list moments as you snorkel alongside marine iguanas in the Galapagos, trek across glaciers in Antarctica, or chase the Northern Lights in the Arctic Circle. Ready to celebrate a big milestone—like retirement—with an even bigger sailing? Consider an around-the-world cruise that takes you to some of the world’s most captivating destinations on a single itinerary (and you only have to unpack once!).
Relax in Refinement
Luxury Resorts
Embrace pure seaside bliss on your very own luxury resort getaway. With thousands of exceptional resorts around the world, we quickly zero in on the perfect-fit options for you—from intimate boutique properties, worlds away from the hustle and bustle, known for top-shelf drinks and gourmet dining, to all-inclusive resorts with endless entertainment for the whole family.
Elevate your stay with private airport transfers and guided adventures off property, all arranged by us. We also love planning Hawaii resort escapes; let us lead you to your ideal aloha adventure as we help you choose which Hawaiian island and property to make your home base!
Embrace Astounding Culture
European Getaways
Island hopping between glittering coasts and wandering through whitewashed villages on a sun-splashed Grecian holiday. Rolling out croissant dough during a pastry-making class in the heart of Paris. Sipping a vintage port in the Douro Valley during a tasting led by the owner herself.
Let us tap into our vetted network of in-country travel partners to design an unforgettable European rendezvous for you. Our relationships open doors to immersive, expert-led experiences that reveal the real soul of your destination.
