We have passport stamps from 79 countries and all 7 continents. Travel is clearly our passion. So, long story short, we purchased a travel agency in the form of a Cruise Planners franchise so we can share the joy of travel with others. We named our business:

Venture Afar Travel ~ a boutique travel advisory with an adventurous edge.

As one of the largest travel agencies in the world, Cruise Planners gives us access to the best industry technology and VIP access to 150+ of the premier travel vendor partners globally.

We will pass along to you the very best pricing and excusive benefits that few travelers ever see if they purchase travel by buying online. Our services will cost you nothing  because we are paid by the vendors - it is standard industry practice that travel advisor fees are always pre-built into any travel you have ever purchased or will ever purchase. So, you may not have utilized a travel advisor in the past if you booked online or directly with the vendor, but you certainly have paid for those services. If you choose not to avail yourself of the services of a travel advisor, the travel provider simply pockets those unpaid funds. 

Leave the time, work and stress of finding the perfect trip to us, so you are fresh to enjoy the journey. You will have our personal cell numbers that we carry 24/7/365, so no more no call centres or 1-800 numbers for you. We are always here for you.
