Vancouver, Canada -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/10/2011 -- As Cruise Experts Travel enters its 17th year in business, the agency has been busier than ever helping clients plan their cruise vacations. The agency saw over 30% revenue growth in 2010.

“Our continued growth, in a very competitive market, is the result of our ability to offer competitive pricing, attractive booking extras and friendly cruise specialists that are knowledgeable and look after the details,” Blaine Lambert, Chief Operating Officer with Cruise Experts Travel explained.

Starting with a staff of two in 1995, Cruise Experts Travel now employs over 30 cruise, marketing and administrative personnel. To accommodate the expanded business levels, office space has been extended to a second floor recently. The agency now occupies almost 6,000 square feet of wholly owned space.

“The heart of our office expansion is our new training centre where we will be able to simultaneously run interactive meetings with our call centre and home based employees” said Denis Lim, President of Cruise Experts Travel. “The training centre will allow us to continue to invest in our team’s expertise and to better service our client base.”

Cruise Experts Travel specializes in cruises to Alaska, Europe and such exotic destinations as New Zealand and Australia, South America, and Asia. “Our knowledgeable agents undergo a thorough training period and we encourage our staff to pursue ongoing personal and professional development,” said Lim.
