Travelive

What Travelive does

Travelive is a luxury destination management company (DMC) that designs and delivers high-end bespoke travel itineraries across 11 countries in Southern, Central, and Southeastern Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia — specifically Greece, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Croatia (plus Slovenia and Montenegro), France, Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Turkey, and Egypt. The firm serves affluent couples, families, multi-generational groups, and solo luxury travelers, with a notable emphasis on honeymoons, anniversaries, and destination weddings. Distribution operates through two complementary channels: a direct-to-consumer motion via toll-free phone lines (US, Australia, New Zealand) and website inquiry forms staffed by travel consultants, and a B2B motion through a dedicated travel agent portal and consortium partnerships with Virtuoso (as Family Travel Community Partner), Signature Travel Network, Ensemble Travel Group, and Travel Leaders.

The product offering centers on customized vacation and honeymoon packages with bundled accommodations, private guided tours, ground transfers, and 24/7 on-site concierge service, supported by hand-selected luxury inventory at properties such as Four Seasons, Kempinski, Mandarin Oriental, and Belmond. Bookable add-on modules include luxury villa rentals, Nile cruises and yacht charters, private jet and helicopter transfers, and cruise shore excursions. Pricing is bespoke, with published planning-form reference tiers ranging from $5,000-$7,500 per person at the entry level to $15,000+ at the ultra-luxury tier, structured around a 25% non-refundable deposit (minimum $375 USD) with final payment 60 days pre-departure.

Revenue mechanics combine package-deal pricing on curated itineraries with transaction-fee commissions on hotel bookings, cruises, and premium add-ons. The company is privately held under Star International Group, Inc., headquartered in Boynton Beach, Florida, with regional headquarters in Athens and additional in-country offices in Milan, Zurich, Vienna, Zagreb, Paris, Madrid, Marrakech, and Istanbul. Co-Founder & President Mina Agnos has led the firm since its 2001 founding, supported by a team of 11-50 employees, and the brand has accumulated sustained recognition including eleven consecutive years on the Travel + Leisure A-List (2011-2020) and Conde Nast Traveler Specialist List inclusions.
