Hi, I’m Damian Kirkland, your personal travel advisor.

I bring an extensive career for logistical planning, solving challenges, and customer service to my agency. My expert areas include cruises of every level of luxury, all inclusive resorts, destination discovery, and multi-generational group travel.

The area of strength I am most proud of is my ability to connect with my clients and learn their needs- I am in the business of delighting my clients, not selling travel to them. I take the time to understand each traveler’s style and preferences, and then tailor every detail for a seamless stress-free experience.

Discover how I can make your next vacation effortlessly extraordinary…
