Why Book With Us?
We are experts and share information the cruise lines, resorts and other travel vendors won't.
We work for YOU and have only your best interests in mind. We work for ourselves and not for any other vendor. We research information specific to your needs and wants and find you the best rate, itinerary and accommodation.
​​
When you book direct, their intent is to sell you their company, with the primary goal of selling you the most they can.
​
We are constantly updating our product knowledge by continuing our travel education through product and destination seminars, tradeshows, seminars at sea, and site inspections, by building professional relationships with the cruise lines, business development managers, and by getting invaluable client feedback.
​
We love to travel and will share our experiences and knowledge with you.
​
It does NOT cost you more than booking directly and could even save you time and money.
Time is money! We save you the time by doing the research for you.
​​
We have the same rates and promotions as other travel vendors (cruise lines, resorts and tour operators) but we also have access to some exclusive group rates, regional specials, or other rates that might just benefit you. The bottom line is that we cost you nothing and can actually save you money.
​​
Have questions? Just ask! It is NEVER a bother!!
​
We do NOT upcharge, add service fees, or anything else that could increase the overall cost.
Some travel agents do upcharge and/or add service fees. Never have! Never will!!
​
We are paid 100% by the cruise lines, resorts and tour operators, NOT you.
Travel agent commissions are always automatically built into the price of your cruise, resort or tour. This is just the industry standard. If you book direct, the company just keeps the commission. When you book with us, you have someone who will be with you from start to finish, AND you support our small business rather than the big company.

That (and so many other reasons) is why the majority of our clients are repeat travelers or referrals from past clients.
