What does concierge service include for a family trip?

It includes a personalized itinerary built around your family's ages and interests, access to amenities and upgrades through my travel partners, and ongoing support before and during the trip.

Does concierge-level planning cost extra?

I work directly with travel partners such as cruise lines, resorts, and tour operators, and my services are typically supported through the commissions those partners already build into their pricing. I'll always be upfront about how a specific trip is structured.

How personalized is the itinerary really?

Very. Every itinerary starts with a conversation about your family's specific ages, interests, and budget, rather than a set package you're fit into.

How quickly do you respond to inquiries?

I personally follow up within 24 hours of every inquiry, and I stay reachable by phone, text, or email throughout the planning process and your trip.

How do I get started?

Reach out by email, text, or through the contact form on my site with a bit about your family and what you're hoping for. I'll follow up personally within 24 hours to begin.

Family Vacation Concierge Service: A Seattle Traveler's Guide

A concierge-planned family vacation means every detail — from destination to accommodations to daily pacing — is built around your family specifically, rather than pulled from a generic package. For Seattle families juggling different ages and interests, that level of personal attention tends to make the whole trip run more smoothly.

I'm Irina Koshkin of MIRUS Travel, and I design family vacations for clients across the country, working with Seattle-based families remotely just as closely as I do locally.

What Concierge-Level Family Planning Includes

I start by learning about your family's ages, interests, and travel style, then match destinations and accommodations accordingly — connecting rooms for younger kids, more independence for teens, or a slower pace for multi-generational groups. Through relationships with partners like Club Med, Sandals, and Disney Cruise Line, I can often add upgrades or amenities that make the trip feel more special without extra effort on your part.

How It Differs From a Generic Booking Site

Booking through a generic travel site means comparing listings with little context on what actually suits a family. Working with me means you get recommendations based on real experience with which properties, cruise lines, and tour operators tend to work well for families — plus someone to reach if something changes mid-trip.

The Kinds of Family Getaways I Design

Family trips take different shapes depending on what your group wants. Some families prefer a beach resort in the Caribbean or Mexico with kids' clubs and easy logistics; others want a cruise that covers multiple destinations, or a guided tour built around cultural exploration.

All-inclusive beach resorts with family-friendly amenities
Cruises with kids' programming suited to your children's ages
Guided tours paced for mixed age groups

How the Planning Process Works From Seattle

The process begins with a conversation, by phone, video, or email, about your family's dates, budget range, and what a great trip would look like for your group. From there, I put together options that fit those ages and interests, and I refine the details with you until the plan feels right. You can see what other families have said under client reviews.
