Explanation:
I get the feeling that 'safe' and 'wonderful' are somewhat in contradiction to each other (if you can only hope that the journey will be safe, the journey can't be wonderful), but I think my translation makes kind of a compromise. If you want to keep the contradiction, you can write:

Ha en trygg og fantastisk reise
