My relationships built over twenty years with the world’s top hotels, cruise lines and local agencies will ensure your successful vacation. As a client you get exclusive and complimentary perks that you can’t get on your own — from VIP introduction to the hotel’s management to upgrades, scrumptious breakfasts and hotel spending credits.

Once every so often I host a Virtuoso Voyages club cruise where my clients and others enjoy fine food, wine, camaraderie while visiting great places – all aboard the world’s most luxurious smaller ships

History

Established in 2004.

Long before I established Josh Friedman Luxury Travel I started in the travel business in the early 80s working for ‘the’ top luxury cruise line Royal Viking Line, right here in Embarcadero One on the 39th floor. Later on, I worked for the next ‘the’ top cruise line, Seabourn at 55 Francisco St. (by then Royal Viking was just a memory).

In between I moved to Laguna Beach, became a luxury focused travel agent and cruise specialist,  moved back to San Francisco and after working in marketing at IDC and Clorox decided to return to the travel agency business.

The last 10 years have been great and I’m glad to be here to help you plan your customized luxury vacation, cruise, honeymoon or luxury hotel stay.
