"In 1998, I was a potential franchisee with no travel industry experience. After careful research, CruiseOne was the clear choice. The personal attention CruiseOne offered me from day one allowed me to grow professionally and become successful.

"I spent a decade working for an airline. After 9/11, I accepted a severance package and founded a PR firm. Over the past few years, I've been yearning to get back into the travel business. When my husband and I recently took a cruise, I was hooked! I researched extensively for a business model that would let me continue running my PR firm while rediscovering my passion for travel. CruiseOne consistently surfaced as the top choice. Today, I am a CruiseOne franchise owner having the time of my life!" Valerie Harris, Franchise Owner since 2010 Atlanta, GA
