Bon Voyage is the newest offering from Jetsetter, the leading members-only travel site that helps travelers discover and book the world's best vacations at Jetsetter-exclusive prices.  The luxe travel gift is priced at $199 and includes:

• Evocative Coffee Table Book: Bon Voyage includes a 12x12 picture book designed in partnership with Partners & Spade and written by Jetsetter editor Nikki Ridgway. The book celebrates 24 trips planned by Jetsetter's Personal Travel Planners through words and images from well-known art photographers such as Mark Borthwick, Robert Polidori, Elliot Erwitt and others.  The photographs transport the reader to a motorcycle trek through Iceland, a family escape to Hawaii, and a trip around the world in 70 days.  A celebration of travel and culture, Bon Voyage provides a point of departure for travelers considering their next journey and a spark for a conversation with Jetsetter's Personal Travel Planners.
• Personal Travel Planning with a Jetsetter travel expert: Personal Travel Planning provides travelers a one-on-one consultation with one of the 200+ experienced travel writers who serve as Jetsetter's correspondents.  Travelers are paired with a correspondent who fits their interests and personality.  The Expert constructs an itinerary for one trip based on the client's individual expectations and a Booking Specialist completes the reservation. Personal Travel Planning is unique because correspondents make their living traveling the world and contributing to outlets such as Conde Nast Traveler, Fodor's Guidebooks, Travel + Leisure and Vogue.  Correspondents are based around the globe and are often providing insider tips on restaurants and sites located right outside their door.  The service typically costs $200 and is offered at a tremendous value with inclusion in the Bon Voyage package.
• Travel journal to capture memories: Jetsetters are encouraged to fill in the blank pages of this journal with memorable moments from the adventure: sipping Malbec in Argentina, strolling along the floating market in Thailand, nibbling on fish and chips in London and more.

Bon Voyage is available online at Jetsetter.com and Gilt.com starting Monday, October 17. Bon Voyage will also be sold in select Club Monaco and Flight 001 stores throughout the U.S. in November & December.  

"Bon Voyage is the perfect present for a sophisticated traveler," said Drew Patterson, Jetsetter founder & CEO.  "The book provides the seeds of inspiration for dreaming about that next trip.  With unrivaled access to advice from the world's leading travel writers, the Personal Travel Planning service transforms that daydream into reality.  We hope this inspiration box is the gentle nudge travelers need to discover a new experience or take that trip they've only dreamed about.  It is truly a way to give the gift of travel."
