This is an illustrative use case: a typical request, and how we would handle it.
The scenario
A couple wants to celebrate an anniversary in May 2027. They have read that the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express will stop in Monte Carlo from May 2027 and want to arrive in Monaco by train, spend a few days on the Riviera and fly home privately.
Why it takes planning
The Monte Carlo stop is new, departure dates have not been published, and the best cabins on early departures are limited. May on the Riviera is also one of the busiest months of the year, so hotel suites, restaurant tables and yachts need to be lined up around the train, not after it.
How we would handle it
- Register the couple's interest and preferred cabin category, from a historic cabin to a Grand Suite, as soon as dates are released
- Hold a suite in Monaco for the nights after arrival, with a view of the harbour
- Arrange a private yacht day along the coast, with lunch on board
- Book dinner on the first evening in Monaco and a car for the stay
- Arrange a private jet from Nice for the flight home
- Bring everything into one itinerary, with payment in fiat or crypto
What the client gets
One point of contact for the train, the hotel, the yacht and the flight, with each element confirmed before they commit and a single plan for the whole trip.
