About Ship Happens Travel

Meet Ship Happens Travel

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 Do We Do?

More Than Bookings. We Curate Experiences.
At Ship Happens Travel, we're not just order-takers. We act as your personal travel concierge, guiding you through every step of the planning process. From proposal to post-cruise follow-up, we’re with you the whole way.

• We Promote and Plan: We bring you top cruise and all-inclusive vacation options from trusted lines like Royal Caribbean, Carnival, NCL, and more. You’ll get curated itineraries that fit your taste and budget.

• We Personalize and Propose: No cookie-cutter packages here. We listen to your preferences, goals, and budget, then provide tailored trip proposals with direct booking links.

• We Secure and Streamline: We collect traveler details and payments through secure systems and manage all the moving parts for a smooth, worry-free experience.

• We Support and Follow Up: Our job doesn’t end when you book. We keep you informed with helpful tools and reminders before you leave, and check in afterward to make sure everything went as expected.

Whether you’re a nervous first-timer, a time-strapped professional, or planning travel for a group, we simplify everything and keep the process enjoyable.
