Who are we?
​We are a team of Travel Advisors who love to see and experience the world, and love to help our clients do the same! The Advisors at Ships and Trips Travel have a passion for exploring the world around us that we combine with a dedication to superior customer service to deliver premium travel experiences. We love what we do!

What Do We Do?
The Advisors at Ships and Trips Travel offer personalized travel planning services combined with old fashioned customer service. From the first phone call or email contact you have with our advisors to the warm welcome you receive once your home from your trip, we work hard to provide our clients a premier travel experience and great value.

What Value Do We Offer?
We emphasize premium value for our clients. Your vacation time is precious, and we work to make sure you have the best travel experience possible. We do this by connecting you with the right Advisors for your travel need - a member of our team who specializes in the destination, tour, cruise or type vacation you desire. Your Advisors will take the time to learn about your travel dreams and wishes, answer your questions and concerns, and work with you to create your extraordinary vacation. And, because the Advisors you’re working with has a passion for the type of vacation that you want, you’ll be working with someone who has not only been there but also knows the secrets, the hidden gems, the best values.

What About Cost?
Travel providers (hotels, cruise lines, resorts and tour operators) value the customer service and expertise we provide and pay us a commission to sell their products. The price you pay for your travel purchase is the same, whether you are working with one of our Advisors, booking directly from the travel provider, or working with an internet-only booking engine. The difference is the level of service we add for each of our valued clients. It’s simple – if you want service, you work with a professional human being. If you don’t want service, you work with a computerized reservation service. We’re sure you’ll be pleasantly surprised to find that you can still get real, old-fashioned customer service without paying more, and you’ll love some of the little “extras” that we can add to your vacation experience!

What Can We Add to Your Vacation Experience?
Our Advisors are the best at what they do. Rather than trying to learn a little bit about the whole world, our Advisors immerse themselves in their destination or special interest, visiting the places they sell, working on continuing education programs with the tourism bureaus and the Travel Institute. Quite simply, we know our stuff:
​

• Our Ski and Snowboard Advisor is a snow bunny who has tried out the slopes around the world.
• Our Honeymoon Advisors have a database of the most romantic resorts, hotels and inns around the world to make sure that your first trip as a married couple is as magical as the wedding itself.
• Our Italy Advisors knows Italy; our Fiji Advisors knows Fiji; our China Advisors knows China, and on and on…

In addition to our Advisors, Ships and Trips Travel is proud to be a member of Signature Travel Network — an international network of expert travel retailers. Our membership allows us to offer you Signature Exclusives — special pricing, VIP benefits and amenities on a wide variety of travel experiences. These exclusive offers can be found on ocean and river cruises, land-based packages and tours, and hotels, resorts or villas around the world.
