Luxury Travel Advisor Services: Frequently Asked Questions
Faq
Working with a professional travel advisor gives you access to insider knowledge, exclusive perks, and personalized service that you simply cannot get by booking online. We take the time to understand your preferences and travel style, then design thoughtful itineraries that align with your vision.
Through our trusted global partners, we can secure VIP amenities such as room upgrades, complimentary breakfasts, resort credits, and unique experiences that elevate your trip. We handle the research, planning, and logistics so you can focus on enjoying your journey with complete confidence.
If something unexpected happens while you travel, you have a dedicated expert advocating for you every step of the way. Booking on your own means doing all the work and troubleshooting solo. Working with us means having a trusted partner who has your back before, during, and after your trip.
We work with discerning travelers who value expert guidance, elevated experiences, and seamless service. Many of our clients are busy professionals who want the confidence of knowing every detail is handled with care and precision.

Whether it is a solo adventure, a celebration with loved ones, or a sophisticated group journey, we tailor each experience to fit your unique travel style.
Professional Services Retainers allow us to dedicate the time and attention needed to plan your trip from start to finish. They cover our expertise, research, concierge support, and access to exclusive perks through our trusted travel partners such as Virtuoso, AmaWaterways, Four Seasons, 1 Hotels, and Hilton for Luxury.
Professional Services retainers start at $200 for hotel and cruise only bookings, $400 for custom itinerary planning, and $500 for groups, with final pricing based on the scope and complexity of your trip.
We focus on quality and value, not budget travel or cheap deals because they often are. We only work with trusted partners who meet our high standards, and we would never recommend a hotel or experience that we would not personally stay at ourselves.
Our goal is to ensure your vacation is stress free, memorable, and worth your investment. Your time is precious, and you deserve the best.
We offer a diverse travel options tailored to your needs. From resort vacations (all-inclusive or not) to luxury cruises, wellness retreats, group trips, and FITs (Flexible Independent Travel), we craft experiences designed just for you. We specialize in honeymoons, babymoons, romantic getaways, girlfriend getaways, and inclusive travel for LGBTQ+ clients.

Testimonials from Happy Clients
I was a little apprehensive about my first trip overseas, but that was quickly resolved when working with Catherine. She laid out exactly how the trip was going to go, from the flight, to the drive to the resort and everything in between until it was time to fly back. She even told me which weather-appropriate attire I would be most comfortable in. The entire trip was seamless. I can't recommend her services enough."
