Who we Are

This website is owned by Jasmine Partners, LLC, based in the United States and operated by The Savvy Traveler, an independent travel agency hosted by Cruises & Tours, Unlimited, Florida Seller of Travel # ST15578, California Seller of Travel No. 2090937-50, Washington UBID No. 603189022 and Iowa Registered Agency # 1202.

The website provides an opportunity for our visitors to view travel options and make direct bookings to some travel providers either through affiliate links for which we may receive compensation and in some cases through providers with whom we have a relationship through our travel agency. In both cases, bookings through these links are fulfilled and serviced by the individual providers who have their own legal policies over which we have no control.

Our website visitors are encouraged to contact us directly for support and to purchase customized travel services. The documents on this page refer to both the website and our agency.
