100% Verified Sustainable Travel Experiences

We only promote companies and offers with a proven commitment to sustainability in their own operations (not just common CSR and donations), as independently certified by credible third party monitoring and certification organizations in the field of responsible travel.

Best Independent Advice

We are 100% neutral and independent. Different to typical agencies, we work with all verified responsible tour operators. Different to other platforms, we do not accept listing or promotion fees. This means that we are the only agency or platform who can give you best independent advice and help you find & customize the best value-for-money offer for your unique requirements.

Fully Customizable Trips & Personal Advice

All our trips are fully customizable. Working with many locally leading tourism companies, we are not limited to one partner per destination but can offer you any itinerary variation or combination, accommodation, equipment rentals, and other services or tour inclusions that are available in each market. Even though we are building a platform with the aim to make these customization options easily available to you directly online, we will make every effort to earn your trust through our outstanding personal advice and service.

Curated 5-Star Offers

We go to great lengths to compare tour operators and offerings for the destinations that we offer. Based on objective price-value comparisons, we aim to pre-select the best trips for each budget category (from no-frills to VIP) for you. All our partners are furthermore top-rated by travellers on leading review platforms such as TripAdvisor.

Best Local Prices

Tour operators only pay us a small fee out of their own marketing budget when you book via Fair Voyage. This means that we can guarantee you best prices, and at least the same price as local companies would offer you directly. When comparing prices, please note that many platforms show outdated or incorrect prices that may not be available as advertised. However, should you indeed be offered the same tour cheaper elsewhere, please let us know and we’ll match the price.

Safely Insured Payments

Fair Voyage insures all bookings and payments with the Swiss Travel Security (STS) travel funds assurance according to highest international standards. As a customer of Fair Voyage, the STS warranty guarantees you a complete refund of all payments and the return-trip for paid bookings in the event we would not deliver your trip to you, hassle-free.

The STS insurance protects all our customers globally, no matter your country of domicile, and for all our trips to any destination around the world.

As a travel agency duly registered and headquartered in Switzerland, Fair Voyage AG explicitly provides you this assurance for all bookings and payments made to us, including in case of no shows or insolvencies by any of our local operating partners or suppliers involved in delivering our services to you. You might also like to know that we have not yet had such an unfortunate event.

Be careful if you consider booking directly with a local company as no such assurance scheme exists yet in many of our destinations countries. Also be careful if booking via a platform that does not explicitly offer safe travel funds insurance, or an agency that outsources its responsibility to local suppliers. Always be sure to read the booking and payment terms carefully. A customary safe payment guarantee usually only refers to your card payment transaction. It does not automatically mean your funds are safe once paid.

Having safe travel funds insurance is a mandatory regulatory requirement for all travel agencies legally registered in Switzerland. Scroll down on the STS website to learn more about all your benefits and verify our membership here.
