What does a luxury travel advisor do?

A luxury travel advisor creates personalized itineraries, handles all bookings, provides trip support, and leverages industry connections like Virtuoso to secure room upgrades, complimentary breakfast, property credits, and experiences not available to the public.

What are Virtuoso perks?

Virtuoso perks are exclusive benefits available when booking through a Virtuoso travel advisor. They typically include room upgrades when available, daily breakfast for two, a property credit ($100 or more), early check-in and late checkout, and welcome amenities. These perks come at no additional cost to you.

How much does a travel advisor cost?

Hotel and cruise planning is complimentary. Multi-city itineraries require a planning retainer. Award travel research is fee-based ($150 for economy, $300 for premium cabin). The minimum for booked services is $7,000 per week excluding international flights.

Why use a travel advisor instead of booking online?

A travel advisor saves you hours of research, negotiates perks you cannot get yourself (like Virtuoso benefits), handles problems when they arise, and creates seamless itineraries based on deep destination knowledge. For complex trips with families or groups, an advisor coordinates all the moving pieces so you can relax.

Meet Your Curator

Hi, I'm Yannicke

I founded Curated by Collins because I believe travel should be an immersive experience, not a logistical puzzle. With a background in management and a meticulous eye for detail, I bring project-manager precision to every itinerary I design.

Having navigated more than 20 cruises and complex, multi-country journeys, I know firsthand what separates a standard vacation from a truly extraordinary escape. This expertise allows me to curate the caliber of accommodations and exclusive experiences that define a truly elevated travel standard: the hallmark of my brand.

Through my partnership with Fora Travel, I have direct access to Virtuoso benefits and preferred partner programs with Four Seasons, Rosewood, Hyatt, and Marriott.

Because I research and plan every itinerary personally, I limit the number of trips I design each month to ensure your journey receives my complete, undivided focus.

The Why

Designed for Connection

I specialize in luxury family travel because I understand that your time together is the ultimate investment. Whether it is navigating complex multi-generational logistics or finding the perfect suite for a growing family, I design spaces for connection so you can focus on the moment rather than the itinerary. Your leisure time is valuable. I treat it that way.

Getting Personal
