Traveling like a VIP is not only for the super-rich set that you see on your socials. No. Anyone can level up with some know-how and a jet-setting attitude. Continue reading to learn how you can bring your travel experience to luxurious new heights.
Charter a Superyacht
What is more luxurious and indulgent than a superyacht? Not much. These beauties offer those setting sail, so to speak, the opportunity to see how the one percent live while enjoying everything that comes with a relaxing vacation on the beautiful water.
Book an Amalfi superyacht charter and live out your dreams in the blue sea. Pull into port at historic and storied locations where you can soak in the past, eat delicious cuisine, and experience the culture. When you have had your fill, retreat to your superyacht and pull anchor for your next destination or relax in style. What more could you ask for?
Spend to Your Advantage
Credit cards that earn you points for travel can be worth their weight in gold. Look for ones that will benefit your specific travel goals instead of cards that offer vague travel options. Always read the fine print, as well, so you fully understand the constraints of blackout dates, location restrictions, etc. before applying for the card.
Opt for credit cards that are easy to use at international destinations, have a low or reasonable annual fee, and earn you points for things you will use. Consider point cards for high-end resorts and airline miles with easy upgrades to first class. Some of these credit cards will also offer you protections on rental cars and reservation cancellations, which can save you a lot of hassle if an unforeseen event occurs.
Cultivate Relationships with the Staff
The people who work at the places you want to visit or book accommodations in are your inside source for information. As you begin to travel more and while you are making reservations, take the time to create connections with those who work in the travel industry. They are the ones on the ground and at the front desk who truly hold the keys to the proverbial castle.
Treat everyone with kindness and respect. Ask them for recommendations and listen to what they have to say. And always tip the staff well. They will remember how you made them feel and the tips, of course. These small moments of personal connection, and your tipping habits, will likely ensure you receive the best and most attentive treatment while securing your high-end rooms and service.
