Why Book Your Cruise With Us?

Many customers ask us...
Why shouldn't I just buy my cruise from our local travel agent?
This is a very good question!

  • Did you know that most local travel agents sell very few cruises?
  • Did you know that most travel agents have not been on a cruise?
  • Did you know that over 80 percent of travel agent volume is airline ticket sales?
  • Did you know that most travel agents do not have specific training on the most popular cruise destinations like Alaska, Bermuda, the Caribbean, Europe, Hawaii and the Panama Canal?
  • Did you know that many people that do not book with a cruise specialist purchase a cruise that is not suited to their needs?
  • Did you know that most people that book with a local travel agent pay higher prices?
  • Did you know that most local travel agents are only open Monday-Friday 9 to 5?

Our expert and knowledgeable staff can save you hundreds of dollars and hours of aggravation!
