I plan to listen to  your vacation dreams and with my travel experience, safely introducing you to stunningly beautiful hidden gems around the globe. I've traveled to many beautiful countries, I've cruised on beautiful ships, stayed in many of the world’s best hotels and resorts, and enjoyed the kind of experiences found on bucket lists everywhere. I work with couples, families, small groups, solo travelers and business travelers. Far from a regular booking agent, I strive to understand your wants and needs, I can write you the perfect travel prescription, right down to the last precise detail. No matter where you’re located, whether your journey is for business or pleasure, two days or two months, by car, plane, private jet, yacht or train, let me design a once-in-a-lifetime journeys so you can appreciate luxury in all its forms. My clients prefer Rocky Mountaineer Rail trips in North America, Silversea, Seabourn, Regent Seven Seas, Windstar and Viking for ocean cruising, Tauck, AmaWaterways, Uniworld for River Cruising, Micato for Africa Safari, Abercrombie & Kent for adventure and custom itineraries, Backroads for Cycling, and RoadTrips for sporting events like F1, Tennis and Golf Grand Slams.

Will not hesitate using Jason for my future travel
Reviewed By MLG - San Diego,CA | Traveled to South America
Jason booked for me two different cruises: Regent from Barcelona to Lisbon last year and Silversea from Lima to Buenos Aires. On both occasions our friends came along and also used Jason. We all appreciated his professionalism, attention to details and prompt responses to questions. He even followed up on our experiences while we were traveling. I am looking forward to using his expertise for our next cruise.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Jason helped us to book a wonderful river cruise with Ama Waterways. The cruise took us through Burgundy down to Provence. This trip was amazing. We are experienced travelers & we appreciate Jason's communication & resourcefulness. As a matter of fact, he is currently looking for our next cruise adventure. We would certainly recommend him to our friends & family.

Queen Mary 2
Reviewed By Tony - Ladysmith BC | Traveled to At Sea
We recently took our first cruise on Cunard - Queen Mary 2, it was a Transatlantic itinerary. We had a wonderful experience and thoroughly enjoyed the cruise line. We connected with Jason through KVI Travel, it was the first time we worked with him. He was a pleasure to deal with, quick to respond and made sure to keep in contact leading up to our trip and even followed up with us after we returned home to see how our trip was. Everything was excellent and now he is hunting down an Expedition Cruise for us to take later this year!

A pleasure to deal with Jason
Reviewed By Steve - Hong Kong | Traveled to Bali ~ Indonesia ~ East and Southeast Asia
I found Jason to be very helpful with our cruise planning.

He does not resort to "hard selling" at all and responds to all questions and requests - providing information and assistance, even if it is an out of the ordinary request.

Jason also appropriately followed up after the cruise to see how it went, seeking feedback.

All told - a pleasure to deal with Jason.
Jason Coward responded
"Thank you for taking the time to comment Steve. I look forward to helping you plan some wonderful travel experiences in the future. Kind regards, Jason"
