WHAT IS VIRTUOSO?
Virtuoso is a by-invitation-only luxury travel organization comprised of the the top 1% of travel agencies in the world. Virtuoso includes over 300 agencies with their expert travel advisors in 20 countries, as well as over 1,000 of the world’s best travel providers and premier destinations. Virtuoso has agreements with the world’s finest hotels, resorts, spas, cruise lines, tour companies, and premier local guides.
As a Virtuoso travel advisor I work for you, not for cruise lines, tour companies or hotels, thus insuring you make the right travel choices. Relationships with the world’s top travel companies provide my clientele extraordinary experiences, complimentary upgrades and amenities, special recognition and privileged access. In addition, you automatically receive the advantages of Virtuoso Voyager Club, which offers generous shipboard credits, complimentary shore excursions, and special social events on pre-defined luxury cruise line departures.
