Q: Travel agent or travel advisor—what’s the difference?
“A travel advisor digs deeper to create a travel experience personalized to your likes, personality, dreams, and destinations. Travel agents answer the phone. We are travel advisors at Cruise Planners,” says Robert Feus, who along with Kyle Nichols are franchise owners of Cruise Planners.
And cruises? They’re just the beginning.
“We do land excursions as well—safaris, expeditions, all-inclusive resorts. We plan it all for you. Our clients enjoy a door-to-door experience where the only thing they need to worry about is packing. We do the rest.”
Cruise Planners is one of the most recognized names in travel, with over 30 years of brand recognition. That means clients enjoy perks that others can’t match: exclusive rates, special offers, off-the-beaten-path adventures, and even private car-and-driver packages.
The travel landscape has changed dramatically in recent years. “Ships book up years in advance now,” says Robert. “Last-minute deals are a thing of the past. Booking early means better room selection and better rates.”
One of the biggest misconceptions? That using a travel advisor costs more. “People see an advertised $499 deal and think they’re getting a steal—until the total hits $1,700 after food, fees, excursions, taxes, and souvenirs,” Robert explains. “That doesn’t happen with us. We give you the full picture up front.”
No matter your budget, Cruise Planners makes sure you get the most for your travel dollar—without the headaches.
The bottom line: A travel agent books a trip. A travel advisor designs an experience. Cruise Planners does both, and they do it better.
