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.

Virgin Voyages: VoyageFair Choices

As a Gold-certified Virgin Voyages advisor and member of the Virtuoso network, one of the most exclusive travel consortiums in the world, I stay current on every policy change, promotion, and insider benefit so you do not have to.

For its first five years, Virgin Voyages sold one fare. That changed on October 7, 2025, when Virgin introduced VoyageFair Choices, a three-tier structure for Sea Terrace cabins and below. RockStar Suites sit outside this system entirely.

Your choice affects four things: how early you can reserve restaurants, what level of WiFi you get, how much you can change your booking afterward, and whether a drink credit is included.
