Kiki's Travel Service is the 2026 expansion and relaunch of a travel business started by Katharine Christmas in 2017. Katharine's original company specialized in the design and execution of bespoke luxury vacations all over the world. The more complicated, the better.
Over the years, Katharine became an expert on all the individual ingredients of an amazing vacation: the best hotels, in-the-know guides, the most beautiful yachts and cruises, stunning luxury villas, and more. That expertise merged with Katharine's ever-growing global portfolio of clients and industry partners, and Kiki's Travel Service was born.
Kiki's Travel Service has a singular purpose: meet our valued clients where they are and provide them with the travel-related services they want and need. That can mean anything from helping with a three night hotel stay in NYC, to finding the perfect Caribbean villa with space for three generations for the holidays, to recommending the best river cruise for someone with mobility challenges and helping them manage all the details.
You dream it up. Kiki's Travel Service will help make it reality.
About Us
Our Philosphy
At Kiki's Travel Service, we believe that travel can be a net positive for the world.
Travel encourages real life, face-to-face encounters with people who speak different languages, eat different food, and follow different religions. It is our belief that such encounters nurture mutual understanding and respect across cultures and ethnicities.
Also, when done right, travel encourages an appreciation for nature. When a traveller witnesses the magic of a humpback whale breaching, they are more likely to care about plastic waste in the oceans and whale safety in shipping lanes. If they have the privilege of standing among thousands of monarch butterflies in mountainous Mexico, they are more likely to want to plant a pollinator garden in their own backyard.
Finally, we have experienced firsthand how responsible tourism can be used to preserve ecosystems and protect animals by creating a financial safety net for their surrounding communities.
While we believe these things, that doesn't absolve us from having to work to create the most responsible travel plans we can. That may mean something as simple as using trains instead of planes for some legs of a journey. It definitely means not booking animal encounters that aren't thoroughly vetted. Whenever possible, we try to reward partners that do things like track their carbon footprints and eliminate single use plastics. And we're conscious of the impact of over-tourism, especially during peak seasons and in response to trending social media. To that end, we are always on the look out for great off-the-beaten-path destinations as well as off-season and shoulder-season travel opportunities. By providing our clients with accurate information about the full range of great experiences they can have in a given destination, we aspire to literally "spread the joy" of travel.
