Tour Escort

Pleasurebent Tours provides escorts on most cruises and international trips. The escort accompanies the group and represents Pleasurebent Tours from start to finish. Responsibilities are greatest on the travel days, the first and last days of the tour. They have limited responsibilities the rest of the time allowing them to enjoy the trip. An escort’s job is to make sure that everyone on the tour has a wonderful Pleasurebent Tours experience. This can include answering questions, helping in case of an injury or illness, resolving lost luggage or other travel issues, and making sure that single travelers are not left out of activities.

Escorts are not paid, but take the trip at no charge. They are encouraged to bring their companion/spouse. Companions pay a reduced fee. On cruises, the lowest priced stateroom is provided. Escort and companion can choose to upgrade at a discounted rate.  Escorts are seasoned Pleasurebent Tours travelers.
