Our agency specializes in romance and luxury travel!
What is romance travel? Romance travel generally consists of destination weddings, honeymoons, anniversaries, re-tie-the-knot and engagement trips.
Luxury travel is generally defined as any travel experience at a 4.5-5-star hotel/resort, luxury cruise line or small group tours with budgets starting at $7,500 and easily exceeding $40,000 for a 7-day trip for 2. However, luxury travel isn't always defined by just the price, but the experiences, amenities and level of service. Generally, all-inclusive resorts like Sandals, Le Blanc, Hyatt Ziva & Zilara and Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya; resorts and hotels like Ritz-Carlton, Four Seasons, Miavana Time + Tide in Madagascar, North Island in the Seychelles or Soneva Jani in the Maldives; premium and luxury ocean and river cruise lines like Celebrity, Virgin Voyages, AmaWaterways, Uniworld, Avalon, Silverseas, Atlas Ocean Voyages, Ponant, Paul Gauguin and Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection; and private yacht and aviation charters. We do have a minimum budget for travel experiences starting at $5,000 and go up to over $10,000+ per person for some experiences. Further, we do charge planning fees starting at $150.
