Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to hire you to design my vacation?
Our design fee is $25.00 per person per day. We charge a nonrefundable fixed fee of $250.00 to book a cruise and that fee will be applied to the total cost of your cruise. If you choose to have us book a flight, an additional fee of $50.00 per person will apply.
Why do you charge a travel design fee?
Our design fee is in essence a VIP client retainer. Designing exclusive and unique travel experiences requires considerable time, resources, and specialized knowledge. To ensure a seamless vacation, we contact suppliers, coordinate transportation, and plan detailed itineraries with private tour guides and local experts. The design fee ensures that we are unconditionally committed to you and that we will put as much time and effort as needed into making your trip perfect from beginning to end.
Why should I hire you to design my vacation rather than book it myself through a discount website?
A travel designer isn’t necessary if you are satisfied with an ordinary, run-of-the-mill vacation with the masses. You should, however, retain our services if you desire to treat yourself and your companions to an exclusive experience customized entirely for you and your group.
Do you require a minimum budget?
Currently we will accept new clients with a minimum budget of $2,500 per person.
Is trip insurance required?
Trip insurance (including “Cancel for Any Reason” insurance) is strongly recommended, particularly in this day and time of unexpected cancellations and unforeseen medical exigencies. Should you choose not to purchase insurance, you will be asked to sign an agreement that you were offered travel insurance and declined coverage.
What is Virtuoso?
Virtuoso is a luxury travel consortia consisting of a luxury network of hotels, cruise lines, and tour operators that span more than 26 countries. Virtuoso travel advisors specialize in curating exclusive experiences that cannot be matched online. Virtuoso travelers receive VIP treatment ~ hotel upgrades and early check-in/late checkout (when available), special amenities (such as spa and shopping credits), and daily breakfast for two.
