Since 1987, Cruise Encounters has been a leader in planning cruise vacations.  We are a 100% debt-free company, family owned and operated and fully bonded by the B.C. Travel Assurance Fund.

We admit it - we're a little different.  Our office model is to package our cruises with flights, hotels and transfers, for a complete package, for one price that includes your total charges.  It's a policy that makes us a lot of friends with travellers who prefer to know what they are paying, up front.  We book the best flights based on availability, carefully choose each hotel, and book all transfers in one total-charges price.  

If you are looking for a company with multiple locations, 100's of employees, and phones that ask you to push #1 for this, #2 for that, we are not your agency.  Instead, if you are looking for a small, highly-specialized office with just 4 travel experts who actually pick up the phone when it rings, we might be a great fit for you! 

Did you know that the average travel agent has just two years industry experience? That's a great start and we wish them well, but can you trust someone with just two years experience with your plans?  So much can happen from the moment you plan your trip until you're finally on your way.  Why not have the most experienced person possible working for you - it doesn't cost any more.

Lisa, Janice & I have a total of 65 years experience between us - and one of us will answer the phone every time you call - no junior agents, no receptionist, no computer asking you to push 1 or push 2.  It's us every time, and each of us will know you when you call. 

We've spent the last 33 years staying small - and it's worked.  Our customers tell us that we are the best at what we do.  We hope you agree and look forward to working with you!  Enjoy the difference that careful planning makes!
