How It All Began
Founded in Vancouver, BC in 1987, we started with a simple mission—to make dream vacations accessible to everyone. With our travel expertise and focus on personalized planning, we grew to become one of Canada's leading cruise retailers, opening 36 locations in our first 10 years.
In 2008, we forged a partnership with the Expedia Group, gaining access to cutting-edge technology, an extensive network of resources, and global brand recognition. Over the years, we’ve revolutionized travel planning – offering unparalleled services, unmatched pricing, and exclusive perks like Expedia® Extras, Expedia® Exclusive Staterooms, Member Prices, and more, ensuring your vacation is as enriching as it is effortless.
In 2010, we expanded to the US, opening our first store in Fort Lauderdale, FL, and have continued growing steadily over the years. We remain dedicated to our roots as neighborhood travel experts, providing personalized service and local, tailored vacation planning services to each and every customer.
Today, we are powered by a team of over 7,000 Vacation Consultants and nearly 300 stores across the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico, with the promise of creating unforgettable experiences, one vacation at a time.
