About us

A message from our owner

I'm glad that you stopped here today. At AWA Travel it's all about you. It's your travel and we're here to make your travel planning easy, enjoyable, and successful. Since 1994, our clients needs have always come first.

To ensure that we offer the best to our clients, we are a proud  affiliate of Carrousel Travel and American Express Travel Services – the largest travel services company in the world.

This gives you the best of both worlds – an agency that focuses on service and building long-term relationships, and the buying power of a world-wide company.

We adhere to a mission and values on which we base all of our actions with our clients. I think that you will find, as have others (see what others say about us) that using AWA Travel is a great experience.

A focus on value

Some people wonder why use a travel agent when so much is available on the Web. Others know why. The Web is full of impersonal information, but you can only get knowledge from someone experienced. You want the best value for your travel dollar and we understand that one size does not fit all. For everyone value means something different and we try to learn what that means for you. We focus on a core group of select vendors that we know provide value for your travel.

Your cruise vacation specialist

We are certified by the Cruise Line Industry Association (CLIA). Whether it is the fun of Carnival or Royal Caribbean, the experience and tradition of Holland America, uniqueness of Windstar, the luxury of Crystal or Silverseas, or elegance of Seabourn – sail to Europe, the Caribbean, Asia, Alaska, or the Pacific. We'll work with you to match your dreams to one of the hundreds of cruise vacation choices and find the perfect vacation for you.

Here's to your ultimate travel experiences.

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”    - Mark Twain
