Cruise Planners® was founded in 1994 by CEO Michelle Fee along with travel industry veterans, Lynn Korn and Marvin Davis, who have since retired. Since then, the company, based in Coral Springs, Fla., has spread Cruisitude® around the world. A major reason for our success is that we're founded by travel professionals. When Michelle started Cruise Planners®, she was a travel agent and a young mother who had a passion for travel and a drive for success.
The founding partners knew what it took to run a successful travel agency and wanted to impart their knowledge. That seed blossomed into what Cruise Planners is today: the nation’s largest home-based travel agent franchise network with more than 2,500+ franchise owners who are experienced professionals who love to travel and are excited to share that love with the world.
