ABOUT US
Let us inspire your next journey
At CIG Travel, we believe exceptional travel starts with understanding who you are, how you want to feel, and the moments you’ll remember long after you return home.
For over 25 years, founder Ivonka Knight has designed seamless, elevated journeys for travelers worldwide — from individuals and multigenerational families to luxury groups, corporate retreats, incentive travel, and bespoke celebrations.
Today, CIG Travel is a team of passionate travel specialists with firsthand expertise across Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, the Mediterranean, expedition travel, wellness escapes, cultural experiences, luxury cruises, private villas, and once-in-a-lifetime adventures. Each advisor brings destination knowledge, personal insight, and a commitment to creating deeply personalized travel. In a world where anyone can book online, we provide something more valuable: trusted guidance, insider access, human connection, and carefully curated details from start to finish. Whether it’s a private African safari, a culinary journey through Italy, a luxury river cruise, a corporate retreat, or a tailor-made itinerary across Asia or South America, we make travel intentional, effortless, and unforgettable.
Our clients return not only for where we take them, but for how we make them feel along the way. At CIG Travel, luxury is defined by personalization, authenticity, access, and experiencing the world exceptionally well.
