Cruising Through Life

...One Port At A Time

Welcome to Ideal Direct

Experience is our greatest asset.

Many cruise sellers today work in a call center, are paid to process as many inquiries as possible and may never even set foot on a ship! But our company is built on our own passion for cruising. Before becoming CLIA (Cruise Line International Association) certified Cruise Consultants, we were avid cruisers, embarking on 2 or 3 sailings per year and sharing our expertise with family, friends and colleagues. Today we are full time cruise travel agents, travelling more than ever, and we just completed our 96th cruise. With each additional voyage, we are broadening our extensive experience and we are delighted to share our knowledge with prospective customers in Canada and the USA.

Of course we would love to book your next cruise for you, but our superior service and advice is more important than selling you a vacation. If you’re interested in learning more, we’re interested in chatting with you.
