What is Virtuoso?

Virtuoso is the travel industry’s leading luxury network. This organisation includes more than 330 agencies with 7,200 elite Advisors in 20 countries throughout North and South America, the Caribbean, Australia, and New Zealand - including me!

Travellers who use Virtuoso’s Advisors get access to more than 1,300 of the world’s premier travel providers, as well as exclusive services, experiences, and products.

So much more than just a travel agent, a Virtuoso travel advisor can get you access to accommodation, locations, and amenities simply not available elsewhere. Not only do we help you plan the holiday of your dreams, we are also available during your trip to ensure everything goes perfectly, as well as afterward to fine-tune your preferences for next time.

I have access to the world's top hotels and resorts and you will enjoy preferred rates and availability, and breakfast for two daily during your stay. If available, you will also get a room upgrade and early check-in and late checkout. And finally, you will receive an exclusive Virtuoso amenity to make your stay even more memorable.

Local guides and experts in 75 countries help me design exclusive adventures just for you. These cultural experts get you access to sites, venues, and activities that often aren’t available to the general public.

Virtuoso has more than 70 specialty partners, providing everything from travel insurance and deals on luggage to ultimate experiences like heli-hiking, trekking, safaris, rare theatre tickets, and much more.

This year's directory brings valuable information on the more than 1,000 Virtuoso-preferred hotels and resorts worldwide. You'll find tips from Virtuoso travel advisors to enhance your stay, along with details on complimentary Virtuoso-exclusive amenities like room upgrades, breakfast daily, resort credits and more. Also, be sure to explore the new feature on top cruise ship suites and more than 70 pages of Exceptional Experiences that can be custom designed just for you.
