About Ship Happens Travel

Meet Your Cruise Experts. Two Generations of Florida Natives Who Get It

We’re a cruise-focused travel agency run by two generations of Florida natives who love life at sea. While we’re officially registered as an LLC in Florida, our roots go deeper. We’re travelers first. What started as a shared passion has grown into a full-service business helping others make the most of their vacations.

We specialize in cruises and all-inclusive getaways for people across the U.S. and beyond. Whether you’re setting sail for the first time or already hold elite status, our goal is simple: take the stress out of planning so you can start enjoying the journey from the very first step.

We’re real people who care about the details most others overlook. That’s where unforgettable experiences begin.

What We Do: More Than Bookings. We Curate Experiences.

At Ship Happens Travel, we’re not just order-takers or faceless booking engines. We act as your personal travel concierge, guiding you through every step of the planning process, from your first question to your post-cruise follow-up.

We Propose & Personalize

No cookie-cutter packages here. We listen to your preferences, goals, and budget, then craft tailored trip proposals with direct booking links. Whether you’re a first-timer nervous about embarkation day or a seasoned cruiser hunting for the perfect itinerary, we deliver options that actually fit your life.

We Secure & Streamline

We handle all the moving parts: traveler details, payments, documentation, and insurance through secure systems so you can focus on the fun stuff. One less thing to worry about.

We Support & Follow Up

Our job doesn’t end when you book. We keep you informed with helpful reminders before you leave (60-day countdown series), check in while you’re onboard, and follow up afterward to make sure everything exceeded expectations. Your success is our success.

Why Book With Ship Happens Travel? The Real Advantages

Your Price, More Perks

You’ll pay the same rate as booking direct; we earn our commission from the cruise line, not from you. But thanks to our partnerships and insider connections, we often score you extras: onboard credit, cabin upgrades, exclusive gifts, and perks you won’t find anywhere else.

Personalized Support From Real People

No hold music. No chatbots. No call centers. You get direct access to a travel advisor who knows you, your preferences, and what matters most to your trip. Text, email, or phone, we’re here when you need us.

Start-to-Finish Service

We handle research, proposals, bookings, payments, documentation, and pre-cruise preparation. You focus on packing and getting excited.

Licensed, Insured & Experienced

We’re certified travel advisors who comply with Florida’s Seller of Travel laws. Our years of experience help us avoid common pitfalls and ensure smooth sailing every time.

Trips That Match Your Style

We don’t just suggest a cruise. We help you choose the right ship, itinerary, cabin location, dining preferences, and shore excursions based on your unique goals and budget.

Real Results From Real People

We deliver personalized service, rapid response times, and genuine care. Every booking, every follow-up, every detail matters to us.
