About

# Travel Designed with Heart

A boutique advisor-led agency, built on long relationships, deep destination knowledge, and a refusal to outsource the things that matter.

Our Story

## Fifteen Years on the Water and Off

KTE Travel is led by Todd Edmundson, a 2024 Virgin Voyages Top 100 Travel Advisor who has booked more than 1,000 cruises over 15 years. It was founded on a simple conviction: the best journeys are not booked, they are designed.

We are deliberately small. Every guest works directly with Todd — never a call center, never a queue. That means access, value, and the kind of problem-solving that only comes from a direct line to a real person.

And when something goes wrong at sea — a delayed flight, a missed connection, a sudden change of plan — we answer the phone. Not eventually. Now.

What We Believe

## Our Principles

### Honesty

We will tell you when a cruise isn't right for you. The wrong trip sold well is still the wrong trip.

### Discretion

Your travel is personal. Your details, preferences, and itineraries are treated as such.

### Continuity

The advisor who quotes your trip is the advisor who answers when you call from a port in the Aegean.
