And here is why...

Our crew of cruise consultants and support team, based in Modesto California, counts nearly a century of combined talent, knowledge, and experience in the cruise industry. We're not just another internet cruise company; our seasoned crew has gained the trust and business of thousands of satisfied customers from all over the nation for over 18 years. We love what we do and it shows!

Awards/Passion/Experience
Our passion for cruising extends beyond our office. We boast a wealth of knowledge as a crew.... as we have sailed the seas on several occasions. We study, we train, we cruise.  We've personally inspected or have sailed on most of the popular cruise ships at sea.  We’ve been there – done that, sailed them, and have invested the time and energy to receive the very highest levels of training in the industry. You'll benefit from our valuable counsel and hands-on experience when considering the vast differences between cruise lines, ships, and destinations.

We have received several awards throughout the years from various cruise lines. They love us – and are willing to work with us to pass the savings on to our best customers!

Why does our training and experience translate into a benefit for you? Well just how important is your stateroom location on the ship, really? So where's the best place to see whales in Alaska? How about letting us customize a couple extra days in Sydney after your cruise...maybe a private guide for the Great Barrier Reef? Tips for your stay in Paris? The best snorkeling port on your Caribbean cruise? Isn’t it the little things that really do matter?

Customer Service – for you….
We want, and value, a relationship with you, not just a transaction. That's why we are available to you and want you to call...so you can experience our great Customer Service!

We're committed to understanding your needs and your expectations for a cruise, and will take the time to fully explain all the details each step of the way. Even though our website provides a wealth of information, and the opportunity to book online 24/7, we realize the internet can never replace the enthusiasm and passion of an experienced cruise consultant.

Our Client
It's all about you and your cruise.
This section is to sell you on us...to prove to you that we're trustworthy, that we've been around long enough to be steadfast, we know what we're doing, and that (many) others have already come to that conclusion. We hope you will too. Once we've had the opportunity to serve you, we believe you'll have such a positive experience that you'll return as a customer, and you'll tell others about us. Referrals are the greatest compliment. You are truly not just a transaction, but a valued relationship.

Ease and Simplicity
Our website is always open. You'll have access to thousands of cruise sailings, hundreds of ports, thousands of images, video clips and music, pages of cruise news and articles – all available 24/7.
