About Travel Concierge Services
As an independent affiliate of Gifted Travel Network, Mer Bleue is also a proud member of Virtuoso. Virtuoso is a global network of luxury travel advisors and top hospitality providers including hotels, tour operators, and cruises. With this partnership, each Mer Bleue client receives exclusive perks and amenities available only within the Virtuoso network. (Think VIP privileges, complimentary breakfasts, elevated status, room upgrades, and more.)
Almost anywhere you can dream of! While our specialty lies in the Mediterranean region and Europe, we have planned trips to unique locations like South Africa and Egypt. Our partnerships reach far and wide, allowing us to design one-of-a-kind experiences around the globe. Get in touch and let us know where you have in mind.
The first step is to simply fill out a basic trip intake form (begin here). From there, it’s the discovery call together that allows us to better understand your personalities, interests, and ideas for an incredible trip! You can of course ask about us and our approach — there’s a secret sauce to it all, but it’s a recipe we love sharing. With clarity from our conversation together, we’ll customize a proposal to fit your needs. Then, we’ll handle each booking for you from the flights to the hotels after a deposit is completed.
Our expertise shines in creating itineraries that start at approximately $1,000 per person per day. This thoughtful investment covers top-tier accommodations, seamless in-destination transportation, handpicked activities, and those unforgettable moments that define true luxury travel. We've found that this level of investment enables us to curate exceptional experiences with our trusted partners, ensuring you receive the very best treatment at every step.
Our clients are travelers who seek unique experiences that don’t fit the cookie-cutter expectations of a destination. Your time is limited, spent on business and family, so reaching out to a well-connected, savvy planner will reserve your energy for the things you value most. Simply share your hopes and look forward to once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
We recommend it every time! Trip protection, also known as travel insurance, protects you and your investment from common unexpected issues (like delays or lost luggage) during a trip. This and international health care coverage are the most common (and important!) reasons for securing trip protection. That way, if anything happens to you or the plans themselves while abroad, you’ll be covered. We help many of our travelers add this to their bookings, safeguarding their health and plans so each moment can be enjoyed with complete peace of mind.
