Cruise Connections, Inc. evolved into a business from founder Mike Sloane’s love of cruising. After selling a lumber brokerage business, Mike started Cruise Connections from the basement of his home in 1992. Eventually the business grew and Mike moved the business to its current location in Winston-Salem, North Carolina

Cruise Connections has CCA's (Cruise Connections Agents) operating coast-to-coast within the continental United States, and is one of the largest retailers of cruises within the cruise line industry.

The cruise industry has experienced a rapid growth in recent years, and it is now America’s fastest growing vacation experience. Cruises are fun and affordable, and with only 12% of the U.S. population having cruised, the potential for developing your cruise business is virtually limitless.

Cruising is the one vacation that encompasses all of the current and future industry trends. Since a cruise is one of the few vacations that have almost all necessary elements, it has become the choice of those persons who want to purchase an all-inclusive vacation package. The cost includes transportation, accommodations, all meals, entertainment, and much more. In addition, it provides for advance budgeting of monies for a vacation, and for this reason, it is very appealing to many families.

Cruise Connections is dedicated exclusively to cruise/land package sales and counseling, and is dedicated to ongoing training to bring to the marketplace the latest in cruise industry development. Our overall objective is to provide quality, professional consultation, and planning services for individuals, corporations, associations, incentive and vacation groups.
