Awesome Testimonials

Had dealt with a online travel agency and became disenchanted. Nancy Williams and Cruise Center had been recommended by a friend. One of the best decisions I've made as she is excellent and has provided me above and beyond services for all my requests. I have completed a river cruise, ocean cruise, plus have 4 tours and 2 more cruises planned in the coming year. Susan Recknagel, Jacksonville, FL 5 Stars

I have been working with Suzanne Fisher and Cruise Center for twenty years. She is friendly, efficient and fabulous to work with. I have referred other clients to her and they all have been satisfied. Suzanne is always available for a phone call or for me to stop in to pick up my documents. If she is not available she lets me know which agent will be available to help me if I need someone. I have used the Cruise Center for Caribbean cruises, Alaska cruises, European cruises and other travel plans including resorts and restaurants. Suzanne is the best.

Jeff Burger

That early experience gave us the jump-start to pursue adventure in exotic locales while fulfilling a career in travel. Although we have been to almost every single island and county in the Caribbean we’ve also trekked through Thailand and sailed the atolls of Tahiti, done the Great Barrier Reef of Australia and explored the tiny Republics of Monte Negro and Slovenia before sailing down the Dalmatian Coast to cruise through the Corinth Canal and end up back in Greece. We’ve climbed glaciers in British Columbia and explored Mayan temples along the Yucatan. The Jamaicans call us JamMericans because we’ve visited 28 times because we love their food and Christian culture. Being passionate foodies we’ve attended cooking classes throughout the Caribbean, France, Italy, Croatia and seek out each countries native cuisine and markets to experience and replicate the delicacies we love.

We almost constantly and incessantly scout out fine hotel accommodations or historic landmark properties to rural Tuscan village retreats for our clients. From the Queen Mary to Tall Clipper ships to numerous cruise lines to small yachts we’ve plied the French, Spanish, Italian, and Croatian Riveras, cruised the Netherlands down the Normandy coast up to Bordeaux and then zipped up the high speed rail to our favorite tiny boutique hotel on the Left Bank in Paris.

Since one cannot always access destinations by water we have experienced an exhaustive list of airline prototypes from Vintage DC 3’s, single prop puddle jumpers to the newest Dream Liner and what our travels has so richly provided us over the years has helped fulfill our ultimate quest – which is a memorable and pleasant travel experiences for everyone of our clients. Our greatest compliment and reward is to hear that you have had a seamless journey and a wonderful time than conjures fond memories in the years to come.
