Why Buy A Cruise From Us?

For most of us a cruise vacation is more than a luxury, it's a necessary ingredient in living a full, healthy and balanced life. We need cruise vacations to reduce stress, recharge our batteries, and have satisfying experiences that come from exploring new places, visiting favorite ones, or relaxing on a tropical beach.

That's why it is so important to purchase a cruise vacation that best meets your personal needs, and why CruiseLocators, a division of TravelStore, emphasizes a cheap vacation can be an expensive mistake. If you're a first-time cruiser looking for cruise discounts, please read our Introduction to Cruising and our Cruise FAQs.

How is buying a cruise like ordering in a restaurant
Most of us don't order the cheapest item on a restaurant menu. We'd probably be less than fulfilled! The value of a meal we order isn't how much it costs, but how well it satisfies our palate and appetite.

Similarly, most of us don't buy the cheapest car, because it probably will be less suitable than we'd like: we purchase the best we can afford. The value our vehicle provides is not in how little we paid, but in the comfort, reliability and enjoyment it provides.

It's even more important to take value into account in arranging a discounted cruise vacation! Unlike eating out or driving a car, a cruise vacation is special, it isn't something we do every week.

So does that mean we don't offer great prices on discounted cruises?
Not at all. As a major cruise retailer, we have exclusive pricing on many discounted cruises.

Worldwide Cruise Experts

Our Value to You

Vacations don't sell themselves!
Professional guidance is crucial for a smooth and trouble-free vacation. Getting it right, and getting it done right are both important.

Information online is not exclusive, and you cannot always rely on what's totally accurate or up-to-date!
The only real exclusive you have is our personal resources -- the amalgam of our total experience and knowledge.

All travel companies do NOT think alike!
Online volume operators only focus on commissions they earn. (Suppliers pay some to be on their sites.)

Full service experts like ours focus on each customer's satisfaction.(No suppliers pay us to be represented on our site.)

Discount Service does NOT equal Full Service!
The discount agent is unable to provide full service and remain in business -- so they don't. They care more about their sale than your vacation.

So are we more expensive?
We have the same discounts, sometimes better-- but it's not about price. It's about what's the right fit. (A cheap suit isn't good value if it doesn't fit well.)

There is NO guarantee of value!
So know what you are buying and from whom. Our cruise experts are professional planners and stand behind our recommendations. If something goes wrong, we're there for you. (Try getting service from an online discounter or volume operator if something goes wrong.)

We look forward to planning your next cruise vacation.
