I’m James Pettitt and my role is to deliver the ultimate travel experience for you. I am passionate about travel, attention to detail and delivering unparalleled service.

I understand that your time is valuable, so by allowing me to take care of all of your travel requirements, means your next adventure will be individual and flawless.

How did it all start? Worldwide travel was introduced to me at a very young age; my aunt worked for a luxury cruise brand and when she came to visit she would regale us with stories of the exotic places she had visited and all the wonderful adventures she was having. We were lucky enough to sail with her on occasion and that’s where my passion for travel and for cruising started to grow.

Working in hospitality on dry land and at sea means that I have been fortunate enough to experience many luxury hotels and had the privilege of working with literally thousands of dedicated individuals who together make a cruise holiday the most exceptional holiday experience. What started out as an opportunity to be at sea for 12 months, turned into 12 years and I have taken in the wonders of over 120 countries across all seven continents - Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica and Europe.

With this wealth and breadth of travel experience I had gained, going back to shore life only fuelled my passion for luxury travel even more. I remained in the travel industry, continuing to work with some of the most incredible people and iconic travel brands, but there was more that I needed to do. This is when I started my own travel consultancy business because I knew that the time I spent at sea was truly unforgettable; I’d experienced destinations and cultures that some can only dream of and I needed to share these extraordinary experiences.

I curate voyages of discovery in every sense of the word for my clients; truly personalised plans that can incorporate First and Business Class flights, executive car travel connections, helicopters and even hot air balloons. Sumptuous and unforgettable stays in 5/6* iconic hotel suites or indulgent cruise ship staterooms that open the doors to enriched cultural learning, magical sunsets, sensational culinary delights and ultimate relaxation.

Your next adventure is in safe hands because I understand how every moment should be filled with wonder and perfection, leaving you to spend your time enjoying your experience, knowing everything is taken care of. Whether you want to take The Orient Express from Paris to Istanbul, sail down the Greek coastline in a private yacht or savour a world cruise, Curated Escapes Limited Edition can create a truly unique itinerary that is filled with your dream destinations.

My love for personalised luxury travel means you can experience travel beyond your wildest dreams.
