TRAVEL AND CRUISE WORLD

What TRAVEL AND CRUISE WORLD does

Travel and Cruise World is a privately-held traditional travel agency founded by Scott Moore and headquartered at 1610 Dundee Road, Winter Haven, Florida, operating under Florida Seller of Travel registration ST32574. The agency provides personalized travel advisory and booking services across multiple product categories including cruises, all-inclusive resorts, escorted tours, family and multi-generational travel, luxury vacations, destination guides, and a resources section covering passports, travel checklists, and trip preparation. Destination coverage spans North America (USA, Canada), Europe, the Mediterranean, the British Isles, the Caribbean, Central America (Costa Rica), Southeast Europe (Croatia), Africa, the South Pacific (Australia and New Zealand), and South America.

The business generates revenue entirely through supplier commissions and referral fees earned on bookings, rather than direct service fees to clients. Travel and Cruise World does not own proprietary technology platforms; it relies on third-party supplier booking systems, its content website at travelandcruiseworld.com, email at [email protected], and phone at (863) 295-9017 to acquire and serve customers. Distribution is advisor-led: experienced travel professionals with documented destination specialties handle itinerary consultation, supplier coordination, and ongoing trip planning. The company maintains a core partnership with Travel Leaders Network, which supplies consolidated access to leading and niche travel operators, and holds an ASTA (American Society of Travel Advisors) membership for industry standing.

The target customer base is entirely consumer-facing, comprising individuals, couples, families, and groups seeking curated, stress-free vacation planning rather than direct DIY booking. The business has no disclosed funding, no parent company, no subsidiaries, no M&A history, and operates from a single domestic office in Winter Haven with a founder-led team. Marketing is content-led through the website and supplemented by email and phone demand capture, with no evidence of paid digital advertising scale or technology-led growth motions.

• American Express Travel: Large established travel agency offering cruises, luxury travel, family vacations and escorted tours through dedicated advisors. Much larger scale but serves the same advisor-mediated, premium-segment customer.

Emerging players
