Our Story
Owner Gary Smith fell in love with cruising at the age of 14 when he went on his first Caribbean cruise. At 17, Gary started his first convention planning firm which grew into a very successful venture that allowed him to plan events on cruise ships as an off-shoot of the main company. This experience laid the groundwork of Garyβs future work in travel.
In addition to his early experience on cruise ships, Gary is a super fan of cruising. Over the years he has become an expert in the industry. Currently he is one of the leading Dream Vacation franchises in the country, also having won nearly every award available with his most recent being the CLIA 2018 Cruise Counsellor of the Year Award, the most prestigious in the industry. Along with his wife and business partner Theresa, he has traveled on numerous ocean cruises and now over 13 river cruises.
