Virtuoso Travel Week 2024: Connecting with our Top Luxury Travel Partners

Cerulean’s very own Carrie, Kevin, Jordan, and Mayye recently returned from the exciting Virtuoso Travel Week 2024, and what an event it was! Virtuoso Travel Week is the pinnacle of luxury travel gatherings, where advisors like us meet with the finest hotels, destination experts, and partners from around the world. Our team left with endless inspiration, new relationships, and fresh ideas to elevate our clients’ experiences.

 

Our team had the opportunity to meet with some of the most renowned and innovative hospitality brands. Carrie was especially excited to reconnect with the team from the Aman Resorts. Known for their serene, minimalist design and focus on wellness, Aman properties have always been a client favorite, and the latest developments in Asia and the Caribbean are particularly exciting.

Kevin spent time with Belmond Hotels, another iconic luxury brand known for blending culture, heritage, and style in destinations like Italy and Peru. From the Hotel Cipriani in Venice to the luxurious Belmond Andean Explorer train in Peru, each property offers a unique way to experience its destination.

Jordan met with Six Senses Resorts known for their dedication to sustainability and wellness. Their newest projects in Ibiza and the Galapagos have us dreaming of sun, sea, and holistic experiences.

Meanwhile, Mayye caught up with the team at Rosewood Hotels & Resorts, discussing their recently opened properties in Mexico and Europe, where they continue to push the envelope in blending luxury with cultural immersion.
