Frequently Asked questions

Your Questions, Answered.

Past and future travelers alike have many common questions that need answering. Below are some of the most frequently asked questions we get at The Wandering Mouse, answered.

A “Travel With Me” trip is a hosted journey where a Wandering Mouse travel advisor joins the group. They’re there to provide as much or as little assistance as you need, from managing logistics and answering questions, to simply being a familiar face onboard. These trips often include group pricing or added perks, but the main benefit is having a dedicated host to make your travel smooth and stress-free.

Not at all! Some groups are made up of friends and family who book together, but many are open to individual wanderers who share the same itinerary. You can join solo, as a couple, or with friends.  It’s a wonderful way to meet like-minded travelers while still having the freedom to explore at your own pace.

We plan cruises, all-inclusive resort stays, land itineraries, and custom travel experiences. Whether you’re dreaming of a quick getaway, a luxury sailing, a honeymoon, or an adventurous multi-country tour, The Wandering Mouse can tailor an itinerary to fit your style, budget, and timeline.

When you book through The Wandering Mouse, you get:

  • Access to special offers including group pricing on select hosted or group trips
  • Personalized itineraries crafted to your travel style
  • Expert recommendations on destinations, ships, and resorts
  • Dedicated support before, during, and after your trip
  • Peace of mind knowing we’re just a message away if you need help

The Wandering Mouse does charge a quote and planning fee, which is applied to your booked vacation. Our fees are:

  • $75 per person for international itineraries
  • $50 per person for domestic itineraries

This fee covers the time and expertise required to research, plan, and design the best options for your trip. The great news is that the fee is credited toward your final booking once you confirm your vacation with us.

Note: This fee does not apply if you book one of our curated itineraries or hosted Travel With Me trips.

No — not every trip comes with group pricing. Group pricing is available only on certain hosted “Travel With Me” trips or select group sailings. For other vacations, we’ll still search for the best available offers, promotions, or added perks to maximize the value of your trip.

It’s easy! Just reach out through our Contact page or request a Trip Consultation. We’ll learn about your travel style, budget, and dream destinations, then provide tailored options. From there, we’ll help you book and support you every step of the way, right up to departure and beyond.
