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.
