What Customers Are Saying

Lee’s honeymoon to Greece

I'm never planning a trip on my own again

"A wonderful travel experience begins with thoughtful planning. From the very first step Bastiaan got to know us both - what we liked, what we didn't, and drew out of us angles of the experience ahead we hadn't even thought of. That turned into a trip plan like no other and something I could have never created on my own. The personal concierge service available while we were traveling was invaluable. There is no doubt we picked the absolutely best partner to work with. Don't make your trip a 'DIY trip'. Work with Mr Hudson and you will have the experience of a lifetime!"

Ben’s global adventures

Busy CEO loves Mr Hudson

"I’ve come to rely on Mr Hudson as a go-to resource for tasteful, thoughtful, and truthful travel advice and support. It’s difficult to cut through so much travel content and reviews online, so Mr Hudson’s curated city guides and custom booking services help to make travel planning far easier and more efficient. And I feel more confident knowing that what I’m booking will not only be aligned to my taste and expectations, but will also be LGBTQ friendly. I’ve used the service on many continents with success, including trips with my parents."

Shibin’s Germany vacation

A perfect partner to plan your travel

"One of the best travel agent experiences from beginning till the end and then after that. Starting from the orientation where Bastiaan got to know my hopes for the trip to the planning and booking of flights, hotels and experiences - everything was seamless. Bastiaan and his team selected the right experiences (especially given that this was my first visit to Germany), which made my trip worthwhile, as evidenced by millions of pics I took and the trusted connections I made with local tour guides. I will remember this trip for a long time and I have already shared my experience with my friends and family."

Frequently Asked Questions

Are you a travel agent or a travel advisor?

While many in our industry have adopted the term ‘travel advisor’ to reflect the sophisticated nature of our work, we prefer to focus on what we deliver: exceptional travel expertise and privileged access. Like other luxury service professionals—whether in wealth management or personal styling—we combine deep industry knowledge with personalized attention to transform your travel aspirations into extraordinary experiences.

What exactly do you do?

We elevate the art of luxury travel through three distinct offerings: bespoke journey design, privileged hotel access, and refined cruise experiences. Our expertise lies in understanding your sophisticated preferences, then leveraging our global networks and insider knowledge to create experiences that exceed expectations. Whether crafting a complete itinerary or securing exclusive privileges at distinguished properties, we ensure every aspect of your journey reflects your distinctive taste.

Why would I choose you over booking online?

Through our strategic affiliations with Departure Lounge and Virtuoso, coupled with our privileged partnerships with the world’s finest luxury brands, we unlock exceptional benefits not available elsewhere. These include gourmet breakfasts, priority suite upgrades, generous resort credits, and exclusive experiences at distinguished properties worldwide. Our access to elite programs—including Four Seasons Preferred, Marriott Luminous & Stars, Belmond Bellini Club, Hyatt Privé, and Rosewood Elite—ensures recognition and privileges that transcend traditional booking channels, all while accessing preferred rates.

What do you charge?

Each journey we craft reflects our commitment to exceptional service and attention to detail. We request a planning fee to support our comprehensive consultation, extensive research, and creation of your bespoke proposal. This investment typically proves valuable through the exclusive privileges and upgrades we secure. For straightforward luxury hotel or cruise bookings, we extend our services without additional charge.

When will I be charged?

Our planning fee is collected prior to developing your bespoke proposal. Regarding travel arrangements, payment schedules vary by provider. Most luxury properties require credit card details to secure a reservation, while others request deposits upon booking. We ensure complete transparency regarding payment terms and cancellation policies before processing any arrangements.

I love planning trips myself. Why should I pay you to do it for me?

While the dreaming phase of travel planning brings joy, orchestrating a truly seamless journey requires extensive expertise and privileged access. Our role extends beyond logistics to creating experiences that would be impossible to arrange independently. We transform your vision into reality while securing exclusive benefits and insider access, allowing you to focus on anticipation rather than administration. Consider us your personal curator of exceptional travel experiences.

Will you create an itinerary for us if we make our own reservations?

To ensure a truly elevated experience and provide comprehensive support, we offer our journey design service exclusively as part of our complete travel arrangements, which include hotel or cruise reservations at minimum. While flights, transfers, and curated activities remain optional, this approach allows us to secure privileged access and benefits while maintaining our exacting standards throughout your journey.

Do you offer a best-price guarantee?

While luxury properties maintain rate parity across channels, occasional variations may appear through online travel platforms. In such instances, we work with our partners to honor competitive rates. More significantly, our industry relationships mean properties prefer to extend exclusive privileges—such as suite upgrades, resort credits, and distinguished recognition—through our bookings rather than online channels, creating superior value while maintaining preferred rates.

Do you book hotels?

Our privileged partnerships with the world’s most distinguished hospitality brands—including Four Seasons, One&Only, Belmond, Rosewood, Relais & Châteaux, and Ritz-Carlton, among others—grant our clients access to exclusive benefits and recognition at preferred rates. From intimate boutique properties and sophisticated urban retreats to sustainable safari lodges and secluded coastal estates, each accommodation in our carefully curated portfolio promises an exceptional stay enhanced by exclusive privileges.

Do you book cruises?

Indeed. Through our privileged partnerships with distinguished cruise lines—including The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, Regent, Seabourn and other refined brands—we offer sophisticated alternatives to conventional cruising. Whether you envision an intimate river journey through Europe’s cultural heart, a private yacht charter in the Mediterranean, or an expedition to Earth’s most remote frontiers, we secure exceptional privileges including substantial onboard credits and exclusive amenities. Each voyage is thoughtfully selected to ensure an experience that transcends ordinary luxury at sea.

Do you book villas?

Yes, we curate access to an exclusive portfolio of distinguished private residences worldwide. From centuries-old Tuscan estates and contemporary Caribbean beachfront villas to Alpine chalets and sophisticated urban penthouses, each property is personally vetted to ensure it meets our exacting standards. Similar to our hotel partnerships, we secure privileged benefits such as dedicated staff, private chefs, and bespoke experiences to elevate your stay.

Do you book airfares?

Yes, and we particularly recommend our services for premium cabin reservations. Through our Departure Lounge affiliation, we access exclusive contracts that often yield significant advantages for international first and business class travel, as well as private aviation. Additionally, when we manage your air arrangements, we can provide comprehensive support for any schedule changes or travel adjustments that may arise during your journey.

Can I use miles or reward points when you book my flights or hotels?

While we appreciate the value of loyalty programs, we are unable to incorporate points, miles, or other rewards programs into our bookings. This allows us to focus on securing our clients the exceptional privileges and recognition that distinguish our service.

Do you provide support before our vacation?

While planning your journey, our team is readily available via email and website chat during office hours to assist with any questions or requests. We ensure you depart fully prepared, with detailed documentation and insider recommendations.

What support is available during our vacation?

While we’re a boutique agency focused on exceptional pre-journey planning and preparation, we understand the importance of in-destination support. Although we don’t maintain 24-hour concierge services internally, we can arrange comprehensive on-the-ground assistance through our network of trusted local partners upon request. Additionally, many of our luxury hotel and cruise partners offer dedicated concierge services to ensure your comfort and peace of mind throughout your stay.

Can you assist with special occasion planning?

We delight in transforming milestone moments into extraordinary memories. Whether you’re planning an intimate proposal in Paris, celebrating a significant anniversary in the Maldives, or marking a special birthday with a private villa gathering in Tuscany, we orchestrate every detail. From securing exclusive venue access to arranging bespoke experiences and thoughtful touches, we ensure your celebration exceeds expectations while remaining elegantly understated.

Do you only cater to gay men?

While Mr Hudson’s origins lie in sophisticated gay travel, our expertise extends to all discerning travelers who appreciate refined experiences and thoughtful curation. Our diverse team of journey designers brings worldwide experience and nuanced understanding to each client relationship, ensuring exceptional service regardless of who we serve. We take pride in crafting elevated experiences for anyone who values sophisticated travel and seeks to explore the world through a lens of style and distinction.

What type of vacation should I entrust to you?

Our expertise spans the complete spectrum of refined travel experiences. From sophisticated urban sojourns and exclusive resort retreats to expertly guided safaris, private yacht charters, and carefully curated wellness experiences. Whether you envision an intimate honeymoon, a milestone celebration, or an extraordinary adventure, we transform your aspirations into exceptional realities. Share your vision, and we’ll craft an experience that exceeds expectations.

What destinations do you cover?

Our reach extends across the globe’s most compelling destinations, from storied capitals and emerging cultural centers to remote wilderness retreats and exclusive coastal enclaves. Through years of careful curation and firsthand experience, we’ve developed deep expertise and trusted relationships worldwide. Should a particular destination lie beyond our immediate expertise, we leverage our network of distinguished partners to ensure exceptional service and insider access wherever your travels lead.
