Looking for an easy way to get complimentary hotel and cruise perks now and on your next trip? Think you need hotel or cruise line loyalty program elite status or a certain type of credit card to get complimentary extras such as breakfast, hotel/shipboard credits, or upgrades with your next travel adventure?  In reality, travel friends, there’s a simpler alternative that will elevate your travel experiences, time and time again.     

You gain valuable travel perks and experiences whenever you use the services of a well-connected, professional travel advisor for all your travel adventures.  Additionally, these exclusive amenities included with your trips elevate them from ordinary to extraordinary, at no extra cost to you. 

You’re Our VIP

How? you ask. By and large, most travelers aren’t aware that professional travel advisors work tirelessly behind the scenes building strong relationships with hotels, resorts, cruise lines and tour operators around the world. As a result, you, our client, reap amazing benefits from this important work. Even more, our consortia memberships, e.g., the fabulous affiliation between Virtuoso and Luxury Travel Authority, get you an even deeper level of access to the top luxury global travel programs.    Moreover, you can’t get these extras through online booking engines or big-box travel companies. We have both the desire and the wherewithal to make sure you’re our VIP wherever you wander.

Complimentary Hotel Perks

When you travel and stay in upscale hotels, rarely are you given room upgrades, complimentary breakfast or hotel credits simply for walking through their doors.  Not to mention, breakfast for two in some parts of the world easily means doling out at least a Benjamin. Of course, you now know it’s possible for amenities like this to be included in every hotel stay.  Consequently, you’ll have a more unique experience – one you can’t find online or plan yourself.  Want to take advantage of these programs to receive perks even if you already have a stay booked? Send a quick email: stephanie@luxurytravelauthority.com for more details.

Your complimentary hotel perks are available from hotel names you know well, to lesser-known independent luxury and boutique properties.  Have you ever stayed at these hotel brands?  

Your complimentary hotel amenities may include: 

• Complimentary Breakfast for two per room, per day
• Hotel credit to be spent during the stay
• Room upgrade (subject to availability)
• Complimentary Early Check-in (subject to availability)
• Complimentary Late Check-out (subject to availability)
• Double loyalty points (some programs)
• A VIP Welcome (greeting & amenity)
• Complimentary Wi-Fi

Currently booked in one of these hotel brands?  Want to take advantage of these programs to receive perks even if you already have a stay booked? Send a quick email to: stephanie@luxurytravelauthority.com for more details.

Complimentary Cruise Perks

Complimentary perks also apply to cruises.  Yes, that’s right, you know that last cruise you took?  Did you miss out on onboard credit you didn’t know you could get?  Indeed, just as with hotels, through our strong partners, we negotiate excellent complimentary benefits exclusively for our cruising clients.  From large mainstream lines to 100-passenger expedition lines, those offering amenities is diverse and may surprise you.
