James Firestone

I am the Founder, Owner, and a Travel Advisor with Jaunts By Jim, an affiliate of Nexion Travel Group (part of Internova Travel Group, with 1000+ travel advisors in 80+ countries). This scale and our extensive network of travel suppliers ensures your access to all the best travel promotions.

In addition, Travel Leaders Network as our consortium provides additional perks, such as pre-arranged group blocks with special pricing for certain cruises. 

I started formally selling travel in 2014, after decades of being the primary travel researcher and arranger in my family.  

My personal and business travels have taken me to 47 states including Alaska and Hawaii, Canada and Mexico, Bermuda and Bahamas, 20 Caribbean islands, and countries in Europe and the Mediterranean region. 

I am a member of American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA) and Cruise Lines International Assn. (CLIA).

I have a speciality in cruising, having earned the Accredited Cruise Counselor (ACC) certification, and a certificate in river cruising, from CLIA. But I also have expertise designing and arranging a variety of custom air and/or land-based itineraries. This could include escorted tours, hotels and resorts, luxury trains, rental cars, and limousines.

In addition, my academic background in Meteorology provides you with a unique advantage — insights on where to travel and when — to increase your odds of experiencing favorable weather and avoiding disruption. 

I have the experience to assist you whether you are:

·      retired and working on fulfilling your bucket list

·      a group looking to travel together (e.g., family reunion or special occasion, special interest, sports such as tennis or Pickleball)

·      a sun worshipper looking to escape winter by going to an all-inclusive resort in the tropics

·      a couple or solo traveler wanting to join an escorted tour, or explore on your own

·      anyone interested in finding the perfect ocean or river cruise for a relaxing vacation

·      all these situations and more

So what makes me and Jaunts By Jim stand out from the pack? Simply, it’s incredible attention to detail, the thoroughness of communications and follow up, and instead of an order taking approach, a consultative one which listens closely to your needs to help tailor the perfect vacation experience. 

Helping you fulfill your travel dreams, to make lifetime memories, is my #1 priority!

And I supplement your savings with a “Jaunts Rewards” program, providing additional savings for first-time customers, for referring others, or for traveling in a group. Reach out for all the details.

You need, and deserve, a relaxing and memorable vacation more than ever, so why wait? 

I look forward to working with you. Let's talk soon!
