Virtuoso

Hi, I'm James Killinglaw at the Virtuoso Travel Week in Las Vegas as I am every year and every August, and I'm here with a familiar face.

We've interviewed him many times before.

Uh, Kevin Smith, who is the president North America for SeaCloud.

Um, the SeaCloud Spirit is performing amazing this season.

We're currently in the Mediterranean.

SeaCloud 2, we've had a number of Virtuoso advisors experience SeaCloud 2 for the first time this year.

Um, and then we're in, let's see, we got a few more months in the Mediterranean season, and then we're bringing them over for the Caribbean.

And we're having a great promotion for Virtuoso only right now, where they're getting a two-category upgrade.

Hi, I'm James Schelling-Law of Insider Travel Report, and I'm here in Las Vegas at Virtuoso Travel Week.

And once again, we're talking to all of the wonderful people in travel and tourism about new products and old products and revised products and things that you can sell to your customers and your luxury customers.

So we're talking today with Max Dietmar.

But I remember that Dylan was very intimate and very boutique and very you know you're right on the canal and it really feels like you're because you're in several homes actually the way it's it's set up because it's across the different uh the classic buildings on the canals um where where where else can you find more about the dylan i mean where should they go the website things like that

exactly so just dylanamsterdam.com but if you add a slash and do travel advisors we have a dedicated landing page featuring all our consortia programs rate codes etc or just reach out to me personally Fantastic.

Anything else you want to tell our 125,000? We go to much more than just Virtuoso, but everyone, anything else you want to tell them about the Dillon today?

Well, just in short, it's good to know that we've been going through somewhat of a revolution, really, or evolution, I should say.

So we renovated the vast majority of our guest rooms and suites.

Hi I'm James Schilling-Law for Insider Travel Report and I'm here at Virtuoso Travel Week as I am every August and we're meeting with all of these wonderful executives for different resorts and cruise lines and we have someone exactly from a wonderful property uh uh josie carola carabalad who is the director of sales and marketing at round hill hotel and villas in montego bay in jamaica if you the property you may know very well and we're going to get an update from josie about uh that property which i've never been to but i've always wanted to someday i'm going to get there because i do i get to jamaica quite a lot but you're going to get an update on that property and more on insider travel report Josie, first of all, thank you for taking the time to come and interview with me and tell us a little bit about Roundhill.

What's the history of Roundhill, first of all?

Well, first of all, thank you for having me.

And we are the only one in the Americas, in the Americas continent.

Now, you're here, obviously you're doing all the wonderful appointments over and over the last four years, probably in the middle of them.

What are you telling the Virtuoso advisors about Round Hill?

It's a hotel that you need to, when you go, you know.

That's the thing.

In County Mayo, Ireland, there's Ashford Castle, an 800-year-old estate that once housed Guinness family aristocracy.

It was voted best of the best by Virtuoso, and it sits on 350 sprawling acres, 83 refined rooms inside a real-life medieval castle.

And not far away in Newmarket-on-Fergus, Dromoland Castle is a newer addition to the collection, a 450-acre estate with lake views, a world-class golf course, and a spa that makes it very easy to justify an extra night.

Over in Greece, Santorini Secret Suites and Spa is a hidden jewel with pools looking straight out over the caldera.
