Step into a world of opulence, elegance, and unbridled magic as we journey together to the Grand Masked Ball of Versailles — the most decadent night of the year, set inside the gardens of France’s most famous palace. This once-a-year spectacle combines haute couture, live performers, candlelit fountains, an all-night party… and you, masked and magnificent.
Together, we’ll wander Parisian streets, savor French cuisine, glide along the Seine, and transform into royalty for one unforgettable night inside Versailles as we dance till dawn!

Without knowing the increased costs for the Masked Ball and the costs for lodging we are unable to fully predict the cost increase for 2027.
The 2026 trip was 5days / 4 nights and costs were $3499 for a shared room and $4499 for a solo room.
After reviewing this trip and grabbing feedback -- we are looking to make 2027 trip 6days / 5nights.

After dancing under the stars until sunrise, this day is intentionally left open for rest, rejuvenation, and wandering at your own pace. We’re staying in the same hotel tonight, so there’s no rush, no schedule, no alarms — just the soft glow of Versailles after an unforgettable night.
Sleep in. Sip coffee in a garden café. Journal about the magic you just lived. Or stroll through the palace grounds and hidden corners you didn’t get to see the night before — Versailles in daylight is a masterpiece all its own.
In the evening, we’ll reunite for a warm and celebratory Farewell Dinner, sharing stories, laughter, and reflections from the most enchanting night of our lives.
This day is all about connection, recovery, and savoring the beauty around you.
Wake up slowly and savor your final morning in Versailles with an included breakfast. After a weekend of glamour, dancing, and unforgettable memories, today is all about ease.
From here we will say our goodbyes. You can head straight to the airport*… or indulge in an optional extra night in Paris to wander, dine, or simply bask in the glow of the trip a little longer. Imagine one last sunset at the Seine, a quiet stroll through Montmartre, or a celebratory brunch with new friends before heading home.
With everyone going in different directions, we will not be including departure transportation -- but we can help coordinate groups together and book transfers to the airport or Paris hotels for you as needed.
This final day is a soft landing — a moment to reflect, hug hard, and carry the magic with you long after Paris fades from view.
