Not really, no.

I hope you will be fine during your travels (or you'll is more natural)

is okay.

    In fact, '... the subjunctive is not generally used after verbs such as hope and expect....' (Wikipedia) – Edwin Ashworth Aug 28 '14 at 21:30
  • How can you tell whether it's subjunctive or not? I would think that the come in I certainly hope you come is subjunctive, if anything is. – John Lawler Aug 28 '14 at 21:36
  • "In some examples, preserved in set expressions and well-known phrases, inversion may take place with non-auxiliary verbs: come what may; come Monday (etc.)." does that answer it? – Tim Aug 28 '14 at 21:38

    @John Why do you think that? Why would it be subjunctive in the second person, but not in the third? Would that not entail that mood be (!) a characteristic licensed by the subject in the subordinate clause, rather than by the verb in superordinate one. – Janus Bahs Jacquet Aug 28 '14 at 23:31
  • But the verb hope is an irrealis verb if ever there was one. If there be a subjunctive mood in English, be it anywhere, it's here. If, however, there ben't any such thing as a mood in English, then anything you like can be called "subjunctive" or "conditional". Why not? Could it possibly confuse people? – John Lawler Aug 29 '14 at 00:38
