Why is emergency line so important when traveling?

WHY IS EMERGENCY LINE SO IMPORTANT WHEN TRAVELING?
Here is the scenario: you are on your dream vacation that you have planned for months and everything is going accordingly until suddenly, an unexpected situation arises. A Travel Emergency !

This is the reason an emergency assistance team is so extremely important. When shopping around for your travel needs, this is a must to look for service in a potential travel operator that you plan to use. Unfortunate circumstances such as missed flights, delays, a broken wheelchair or even an accident can happen to any one of us, and in a situation like this, you need to rely on a trusted support team that will assist you 24/7. Our emergency team is available 24/7 to assist you at such times. Our experts have the knowledge and resources to assist you and come up with solutions for the situation you are facing. What peace of mind to have while you travel to your dream destination! 

We want to share a story that happened recently with one of our clients; A series of unfortunate events, however, thanks to our emergency team, who assisted them every step of the way and got them to the end of their dream vacation.

Long story short, right from the beginning, everything that could go wrong went wrong for these clients:
*Missed connecting flight to Paris
*Wheelchair broken by the airline
*Refusal to board a train because of the newly closed borders of England 
 
Our emergency team came to the rescue. They moved services around for them before they reached Paris: transfers, tours, hotels, etc. They quickly arranged for a return transfer to the hotel and additional nights at the Paris hotel and canceled all the London bookings. 
Despite the large number of unforeseen situations these clients faced, our emergency team stayed one step ahead of them with solutions. Upon returning from their trip, our guests were so gracious to leave this warm feedback (below are only parts of it):

“I'm finally getting a chance to process and begin to thank you for your help with this vacation. I am so glad my wife found you guys, because without your help we would have missed out on so much. 
First, you were so proficient and thorough in all things travel. All our accommodations were spot on the hotels, transportation, tours and preparation for the constantly changing COVID demands. 
Sage has years of wisdom & experience with accessibility of the locations we intended to travel to. We were very pleased that they took care of all the details and thought of things we didn't realize could be a problem.  
We had some trip disruptions and got emergency help when we needed it. They were available at all times, no matter the hour. When we called on them, someone would answer and got to solving the problem immediately. Sage group staff eased our concerns because they had it covered. It was like having an army of angels watching over us. 
The entire Sage group, including tour guides & drivers, ensured a wonderful trip. Our interactions & conversations with them became a memorable part of our entire experience.
Thank so much for everything, James and family”

This is only one example, out of many emergency situations we have helped our clients with. When you choose Sage, you choose reliable and experienced professionals with years of expertise. This is why we insist you leave the planning to us, as you might find unreliable and incomplete information online when planning your trips yourself.

Everyone experiences different degrees of mobility, and we understand this perfectly. We offer you services that match your mobility needs.
Lastly, to help you navigate among all the available information when planning your trips, we want to recommend to you a very helpful book for travelers with accessibility needs - The Autonomous Cruiser by Michele Monroe.

Ms. Monroe has over 40 years’ experience at sea and 14 yrs. as a specialist speaker on several cruise lines.

The most up to date and comprehensive guide available that advises you on the whole process of cruising, including cruise and port choices, critical pre-planning information (vaccinations, cabin selection, etc.), life on board (embarkation, entertainment, port calls, tendering, etc.), caregivers, chaperones and service dogs, a directory outlining the most important disability resources, including accessible shore excursions, dedicated apps, cruise specialists and accessible travel agents. Where you can also find some great words about our company.

This book is a delight that addresses the needs of the disabled cruiser and their companions to ensure a stress-free holiday.

The Autonomous Cruiser by Michele Monro can be ordered through all good bookshops. Both the paperback and eBook are available to buy online from all good retailers, including Amazon.co.uk

We still have rooms available for our Alaska, Baltic, and Med Group Cruises. For more information please contact Anika at anikas@sagetraveling.com or call her at +1-888-645-7920 Ext. 7
