Cruise Planners Wins Globe Award from American Express Vacations

Cruise Planners/American Express was one of 52 travel companies presented with the coveted Globe Award from American Express Vacations, a private-label tour operator selling destinations worldwide. Award recipients are selected based upon business growth, innovation and partnership.

The awards were presented at the tour operator’s annual “Best of the Best” celebration held at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana, in the Dominican Republic, for top performing travel agencies and organizations that book travel through American Express Vacations or Travel Impressions.

“We are always so proud to honor our Globe Award winners because they truly represent peak performance in the travel industry,” said Steve Gorga, president and CEO of Travel Impressions. “These professionals are sincerely committed to delivering outstanding customer service and providing memorable travel experiences for their clients. We could not ask for better partners.”

The four-day celebration featured an executive forum with Gorga, a feedback session from attendees, round table networking sessions with attending suppliers as well as outdoor exertions from a catamaran cruise to a zip line adventure and golf tournament. In a gesture of sharing and thanks to the people of the Dominican Republic, attendees donated a variety of school supplies for distribution to Dominican school children.

“This recognition from our partner American Express Vacations is a great opportunity to take what we have accomplished this year and learn ways to make it better for the year to come,” said Michelle Fee, CEO and co-founder of Cruise Planners/American Express. “The Globe Award is for our home-based agents who know the importance of how travel partnerships create unforgettable vacation experiences for their clients.”
