In the cruise-selling world of zero training, zero standards, and zero accountability…
Your cruise deserves better. Welcome to the difference.
Professional cruise planning for groups, celebrations, and complex itineraries — guided by certified experts.
18+ YEARS PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Established 2008
Certified. Credentialed. Accountable.
Would You Hire Someone With Unverified Credentials?
The cruise-selling industry is broken.
There are no entry requirements. No required qualifications. No professional oversight. In the US, cruise sales is treated as a trade anyone can pick up—yet these same people take responsibility for planning trips worth tens of thousands of dollars.
Your wedding cruise. Your corporate retreat. Your family reunion. In the hands of whoever signed up last week.

Aurora Cruises & Travel is built for travelers who want professional coordination, clear communication, and real accountability — especially when a cruise involves multiple people, moving parts, or meaningful moments.
This Is For You If:
- You’re coordinating 5+ cabins for a group, celebration, or extended family
- Your trip involves real logistics (multi-generational travel, milestone events, corporate or incentive groups)
- You value expert guidance over endless price-shopping
- You want an advisor who can coordinate details and communicate clearly from start to sail
This May Not Be For You If:
- You’re booking one cabin and prefer to do everything DIY
- You’re searching for the lowest price only, regardless of service or support
- You don’t want planning help, reminders, or coordination
- You’re looking for a travel club, membership program, or recruitment model
If you’re not sure where you fit, that’s perfectly fine — we’ll help you figure it out quickly.

“The cruise line made a mistake that was going to impact my health. Our advisor stepped in, fought to have it resolved, and turned a scary situation around. Knowing someone will advocate for you when things go wrong? That’s priceless.”

Caribbean Cruise
Aruba
“We wanted a cruise but didn’t know which line was right for us. Aurora recommended Virgin Voyages — and we’ll never go back to a family-friendly ship when traveling without kids. They knew exactly what to suggest.”
