About Cruise Holidays of Burlington
About Cruise Holidays Burlington. We all know the pleasures of travel are many: getting away from it all, seeing new places, meeting strangers who turn into friends, marveling at the world’s splendours, and then coming home with fresh eyes on the world.

Specializing in cruising, the team boasts over 50 years of combined experience in the travel industry, most in the cruise only sector. They have personally experienced most cruise lines, and all have traveled extensively throughout all four corners of the world.
“Because we’ve been there, literally, we can help our clients create their perfect trip. We’re constantly travelling, trying out new ships and destinations so that we can update our knowledge bank and customize an itinerary according to specific needs.”
While our focus is on cruise travel, Cruise Holidays of Burlington’s service also includes pre- and post-cruise hotel options, shore excursion suggestions, transfers and airfare, as well as all-inclusive resorts—everything to make your vacation package complete. And we love to send people on adventures of a lifetime.”
“We love being able to help our clients check destinations o their travel ‘bucket lists’ : whether it’s an African safari, a trip to the Great Wall of China, or a cruise down the Rhine, we specialize in once-in-a-lifetime custom tours.”
With your budget in mind, Cruise Holidays of Burlington aims to find the best possible rates and complete package offerings. We block group space with ships, which gives our customers the advantage of lower pricing and extensive onboard amenities. Plus you get full advantage of our preferred cruise lines not found elsewhere.
Knowing the correct questions to ask ensuring you, our guest, have the best possible vacation experience is just one part of the advantage. Our customers have peace of mind knowing that if anything goes wrong—from a missed connection to a delayed flight to lost luggage—we’re here to take care of it. We love to help people travel because it’s so good for the soul.”
“That’s why our job is so gratifying. We tell our clients that we care as much about their first cruise as we do the fifty after that!”
Carol Patterson
Owner
I have always found travel exciting and I am always looking for my next place or adventure to travel to. I have travelled to 67 countries and been on over 50 cruises. Travel expands your view of the world and I have been lucky to have travelled on small ships, mega ships, river boats and sailing vessels as well stayed in many different cities to experience the flavor and culture. I also love telling people about my adventures and hearing about theirs.
Favourite places I have travelled to – African Safari and Victoria Falls, Vietnam, Cambodia and China
