Independent travel network Envoyage has announced its top 10 Canadian travel advisors, who will be heading to the Maldives for the company’s global rewards event, known as “Icons.”

The chosen 10 will be treated to ultimate luxury as they celebrate the year that has been at the Heritance Aarah Maldives Resort.

The Icons and a guest of their choice will be flown to the resort via private seaplane and greeted with spa vouchers and champagne. Over the next four nights, they’ll enjoy evening celebrations and ample time to explore the beautiful locale.

Envoyage says the Icons program represents more than a reward. It is the company’s acknowledgment of excellence and an opportunity for top-performing members to forge lasting connections in an intimate and luxurious setting.
