Classic Vacation has made enhancements to its online booking engine that will ease booking processes for travel advisors. 

The luxury vacation platform, owned by The Najafi Companies, has launched an updated, custom-built booking system that allows advisors to book multi-destination trips and quick-turn itineraries, as well as access Preferred and affiliate inventory. 

“After all these years, I couldn’t be more excited to offer a digital solution designed for, and with, our travel advisors,” said Melissa Krueger, CEO of Classic Vacations. “With a new set of features, benefits, and access to our Preferred inventory for the first time, this new booking platform, and our overall digital transformation, is central to our focus on innovation, excellence, and adding value to our ecosystem of advisors, hotels, and partners.” 

Classic Vacations’ new platform enables advisors to search for, courtesy hold, and facilitate multi-city tours, island-hopping adventures, and cross-country expeditions. According to the company, the main new features are:  

  • Multi-Hotel, Multi-Room, Multi-Destination Bookings: All in one transaction. 
  • Global Inventory: Access to Classic Preferred and Affiliate hotels with real-time rates and inventory. 
  • Courtesy Hold: Hold inventory while consulting with clients. 
  • Packaging Service: Add finishing touches to client itineraries by consulting with highly trained destination experts. 
  • Mobile Friendly: Send clients mobile-friendly itineraries. 
  • Fraud Protection: Industry-leading protection for online booking security.

“Imagine the possibilities this opens for our advisors. If you have a client who wants to travel to Europe and visit several countries, which is typical, gone are the days of booking one property at a time and worrying about whether the inventory is real-time and held for you,” said Amy Logan, vice president of solutions at Classic Vacations. “This platform allows access to all our Preferred partner hotels and villas, plus all other global affiliate inventory together. We will personally help wrap these bookings with our curated packaging service for in-destination tours, activities and more. We know this is game changing, and we are so excited to bring this to our advisor community.”
