About Sol And Soir Escapes, LLC

My Name Is Benjamin Bourgeois,


About Me


If you are dreaming about a once in a lifetime vacation but feeling unsure where to begin, you are in the right place. I created Sol and Soir Escapes, LLC to help travelers transition from being overwhelmed to feeling confident in their travel planning. Located in the Austin and Central Texas region, I specialize in crafting bespoke journeys, whether it’s for a luxury cruise or a unique land vacation. Planning a trip can quickly become stressful with endless options and complicated logistics, but my role is to make the process feel simple, seamless, and enjoyable.


I am a listener first and foremost. Before I recommend anything, I take the time to understand what this trip truly means to you. Whether you are celebrating, reconnecting, resting, or seeking adventure, I use my industry knowledge and trusted partnerships to carefully match you with the experience that aligns with your vision.


From our first conversation to the moment you return home, my goal is for you to feel supported and completely at ease. I handle the research, planning, and coordination so you can focus on the excitement and the memories. My greatest reward is knowing I helped create an unforgettable experience you will talk about for years and confidently share with the people you love.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at ben@solandsoirescapes.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Most of the time No! The travel partners pay us after you've taken your trip! Seldom do I charge any booking fees unless building a custom itinerary for you. This fee is paid for my time researching to build the perfect trip for you. 


 Benjamin recommends travel insurance for every trip and can guide you through coverage options. He can also point you toward passport and visa resources to ensure you're travel-ready.


 Yes. Benjamin monitors pricing and promotions after booking and will reprice or apply new offers when available, saving you money without any extra effort on your part.


 Earlier is almost always better for the best cabin selection and pricing. Popular sailings especially Virgin Voyages and holiday departures sell out quickly. Contact Ben as soon as you have a destination in mind.


 It depends on your travel style, budget, and group. Virgin Voyages is ideal for adults seeking a modern, all-inclusive vibe. Royal Caribbean excels for families and adventure. Celebrity suits luxury-minded travelers. Benjamin will match you to the right line
