Where Our Story Meets Yours
Behind the Great Escapes
Our Story
KPM Signature Travel was born out of resilience, a love for discovery, and a deep appreciation for what truly matters. After fighting cancer for two years, founders Kari and Paul Monty decided life was too short not to follow their passion. Travel—especially cruising—had always been a source of joy, connection, and renewal, and they knew they wanted to share that with others.
Why We Do What We Do
Vacations are more than just time away—they’re chapters in your life story. At KPM Signature Travel, we believe your time off deserves more than a one-size-fits-all itinerary or a stressful Google search spiral. That’s why we’re here: to take the guesswork out of planning and craft experiences that are effortless, memorable, and uniquely yours.
The KPM Difference
When you plan a cruise on your own, you’re left sifting through thousands of options, fine print, and hold music. With us, you get:
-
Personalized Planning – We match you with the right ship, stateroom, and itinerary that fit your travel style.
-
Insider Access – From exclusive perks to industry-only offers, we bring you benefits you simply can’t find online.
-
Peace of Mind – We handle the details so you can focus on the fun (and the packing).
