Welcome aboard! I’m Murray Lundberg, your Cruise & Vacation Specialist at Expedia CruiseShipCenters. Whether you're researching your first cruise vacation or are an experienced cruiser, I’d like to help you get the right cruise at the best possible price.
I began working with the cruise industry in 1990 as driver/guide for cruisetours in Alaska and the Yukon Territory. In 2005 I received an offer to go aboard the Radiance of the Seas as Destination Speaker on one of her Alaska cruises, and my love affair with cruising began. The following year my wife Cathy and I were on the Costa Mediterranea in the eastern Caribbean to promote Alaska cruises for a company new to the market, and the passion for seeing the world on cruise vacations grew. I’d now like to share that passion with you through my partnership with Expedia CruiseShipCenters, one of North America's leading sellers of cruise vacations.
Expedia CruiseShipCenters is part of the Expedia Inc. family, the most recognized brand in travel. Expedia Inc. companies operate in North America, Europe, Australia and Asia as CruiseCritic, TripAdvisor, Expedia Local Experts, Expedia.com, Hotels.com, Hotwire, Egencia, eLong and Classic Vacations.
Expedia CruiseShipCenters was established in 1987 and now has over 110 retail locations, a team of 2400 professionally-trained Cruise Consultants and a searchable online database of more than 15,000 cruise vacations. As cruise vacation specialists, we are able to provide exceptional customer service and outstanding value to our clients.
Our collection of TOP100 Cruises features over 1,200 departures on the most popular cruises, departure dates and itineraries. Since we purchase large blocks of staterooms far in advance, these cruises often offer the lowest prices available and additional exclusive onboard amenities such as onboard spending money and other bonus gifts. These cruises are in high demand but we can always offer them to you at exceptional value.
Cruising is very different than it was a few years ago, and there truly is a cruise to suit everybody now. The vast number of choices can be confusing, though. To explore the world of cruising with me, I invite you to go through the pages of this Web site, and to visit my blog, The Cruise Explorer. If Alaska is one of the regions you'd like to visit, YourAlaskaCruise.com/ has extensive information including weather to expect, port guides and lengthy photojournals of my Alaska cruises and excursions. When you're ready to start planning the details of your Dream Cruise Vacation, please phone or email - I'd love to help.
