What an extra 800 square feet looks like.

Our advisor Pamela recently booked clients into a beautiful suite at Wynn Las Vegas. They arrived expecting exactly what they paid for. What they got instead was an upgrade, an additional 800 square feet, and views of the Sphere and the mountains beyond it.

That kind of moment doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because of relationships, and because of how a property treats a Virtuoso booking when an upgrade is available.

We don’t promise upgrades. Nobody can. What we can promise is the relationship that makes them possible, and the perks our travelers get every time they book with us.

What does a travel advisor actually do? Last month, Patti booked a $33,778 Tauck Panama journey for one of our clients.

Family-owned since 1925. Travel + Leisure World's Best. The Panama Canal, the rainforest, and a small group led by a Tauck Director.

Tauck is one of our most trusted partners. The kind of trip we book often.

Heading to wine country? You can now skip the SFO traffic entirely.

Delta is adding service to Charles M. Schulz Sonoma County Airport (STS), which drops you right in the heart of Napa and Sonoma instead of fighting traffic north from San Francisco. It also puts Delta head-to-head with Alaska on the route, and more competition tends to be good news for fares.

If a wine country trip is on your radar, flying straight into STS can save you a couple of hours and a rental car headache. Ask us how to pair it with the right hotel.

Last April Marilyn sailed with Single+Passion on AmaWaterways to the Danube

One of our advisors, Marilyn, just got back from an AmaWaterways river cruise on the Danube. She traveled with 31 travelers from Single+Passion, a Southern California community led by Laurie, sailed Budapest to Vilshofen from April 8 to 15, then stayed on for three more nights in Prague. Four countries on the river, plus the Czech Republic for the land portion.

When the group decided to do a river cruise together, Marilyn went along to make sure everything ran the way it should. This is the part of working with a Virtuoso advisor that does not show up in a booking confirmation.

A few things worth knowing about AmaWaterways on the Danube:It is one of the easier itineraries to plan for a first river cruise. Castles, vineyards, walkable old towns, and an unhurried pace.

Adding Prague on the back end is one of the better extensions out there. Three nights is the right amount of time.There are group rates and amenities you cannot access on your own. We can pull those when a group reaches the right size. For solo travelers, AmaWaterways is one of the most welcoming lines on the water. If you have a community, friend group, church, or milestone trip in mind, this is what planning with us looks like.
