Our Owners

"We have always wanted to own a small business, so after researching several franchise opportunities, we  came onboard with CruiseOne in 2009. CruiseOne offered us an excellent family-friendly way to start a home-based business."

"No matter where you do your research on becoming a franchise owner, several features will rise to the top in making your selection. I made the right choice selecting CruiseOne as my franchise.  I can happily report I have received clear indications CruiseOne is capable of meeting those key issues."

"My husband Dale and I joined CruiseOne in 1996 so you may consider us moldy-oldies in the company. I work with the clients and Dale does the bookwork and we both plan marketing efforts. When we were trying to make the big decision whether to buy a franchise we asked ourselves what is the worst case scenario if this doesn't succeed? Once we were able to face that possibility, we were comfortable with moving ahead and bought our franchise."

"I started in the business with another franchise for six years. After three years I realized that I needed more support with a better booking system and website.  I researched and compared many other host agencies and franchises, and I finally decided on CruiseOne, because CruiseOne has it all."

We have so much to be thankful for in our choice to go with CruiseOne and in the support we have received from everyone at headquarters.  We were honored to be interviewed by the media and to gain exposure for our franchise and for CruiseOne. 

“In 1998, I was a potential franchisee with no travel industry experience.  After careful research, CruiseOne was the clear choice.

 “As a newcomer to the industry, I did my due diligence by researching several host agency and franchise options before deciding to become a CruiseOne franchisee.  Having just completed the initial training, I can confidently say that I made the right choice in selecting CruiseOne.

"I have been part of the CruiseOne family for 16 years now. Being recognized by our vendors as the best of the best is very satisfying to me and my customers. Making people happy and helping them plan amazing vacations has been my job for a long time, and I look forward to continuing to do so in the future."

"I am very excited for my business venture and to be a part of such a reputable and successful agency.   I am 100% confident that I have made the best decision to join CruiseOne.    CruiseOne has been great to work with and I'm glad I chose to join the CruiseOne Family."

"I researched the franchise for two or three months as I had a lot of questions about it.  I fell in love with the company and I’m having a lot of fun working with them. CruiseOne is a global leader in the travel industry and leading seller of cruises in North America."

"Cheryl and I started our CruiseOne franchise in 1999. We searched out different opportunities within the cruise and travel industry. We found CruiseOne from a recommendation by a friend. We came to learn that we had booked our own cruises with a sister company of CruiseOne for years.

"I definitely made the right decision over three years ago when I decided to purchase my CruiseOne Franchise. My sales have increased every year since then, and I now have a thriving business with a flexible schedule that I can operate from anywhere."

"CruiseOne - Why do I love you? Let me count the reasons:
When I first called Cruiseone, and spoke with the head of franchising, he said, "I hear you want to join our family"

"Trish and I purchased our CruiseOne franchise in 2001. Since that day, we have never regretted the decision. CruiseOne does a great job of providing the IT infrastructure, marketing toolbox

"I had worked in the travel industry many years ago so I was somewhat familiar with the industry. I have always wanted to return to travel but the right opportunity & perfect company just never fell upon me. Owning and operating a CruiseOne franchise has been a perfect fit…..it offers me flexibly & the support of professionals at our corporate headquarters."

"Having just returned from Conference aboard the Celebrity Mercury, I wanted to dash off a few notes about the experience while still fresh in my mind.

"Although we have extensive business backgrounds, my Wife & I bought our CruiseOne franchise with no travel business experience in 2008. The decision to buy a CruiseOne franchise came

I enjoy being a CruiseOne Franchisee because it has allowed me to be able to turn my adoration for travel & cruising into a profession.  Plus, I was able to exit the hustle and bustle of the 8-to-5 corporate financial services world. 

"I've owned a CruiseOne franchise since January 2003 and it was the best decision I made in my life! My career started working at Eastern Airlines for 18 years. That's when I got infected with my love for travel.  I then heard about CruiseOne and thought what a perfect fit for me to take all my experience in the travel industry and open my own business."

I have had owned my franchise for 13 years and it has been a great experience.  Fortunately I have a loyal clientele and may referrals and that keep me going strong. I have met some wonderful people, made great friends, and I have seen the world. 

I've been in the travel business for 34 plus years.   I've had experience working for two airlines, and in brick and mortar agency locations.  I’ve had 10 years experience in sales with Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises.  In 2010, I went back into the agency side of the business and the only choice for me was CruiseOne.

I have been in the industry 15 years. CruiseOne, by far, has the best training, support, and associates that anyone could want in their travel realm! I just returned back from my CruiseOne certification, and as a previous DSM with a major cruise line, this absolutely was the best choice for me.

"Almost seven years? Wow that went fast, I guess time really does fly when you are having fun! It was seven years ago when I decided to leave nursing and pursue my passion for travel. The freedom

The staff at CruiseOne headquarters knows the meaning of ‘service.’  Whenever I have called to seek assistance with my business, they have been professional and gone the extra mile to help me find a solution.

I started with CruiseOne in 1994 when there were only about four employees. Today there are over one hundred in the corporate headquarters and the company has grown tremendously.  I am totally dedicated to my business and would not have survived had it not been for the tremendous, consistent support of the CruiseOne corporate staff.
