Being a cruise travel agency, it makes sense that our employees would be extremely enthusiastic about cruising.

When I started this company 17 years ago, introducing the CruiseWeb.com web site just after the launch of the very first Netscape web browser, The Cruise Web was a one person company, setting up our first supplier contacts, and preparing for our very first cruise bookings. Only about 3% of the North American population had ever cruised at that time, and cruise lines, with their classic ship designs, were just starting to more aggressively reach out to the greater U.S. population.
This past October, the president of The Cruise Web, Frans Hansen, attended the Ensemble Travel Group’s International Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada. We are proud to announce that during the conference, The Cruise Web received the honor of the top sales award among all U.S. Ensemble members!

The plan for the new office had been in the works for a while and only became more of a necessity as the company continued to grow. From the moment the first plans were revealed, the company was full of anticipation. And this anticipation was only fueled further with each new detail of the new office.
