Cruise The World-The Cruise People - Canada's Cruise Specialists in Passenger Freighters, Expedition Voyages, Luxury Cruises, Discount Cruises, Family Cruises for over 30 yearsLocated in the Toronto, suburb of Don Mills, The Cruise People, Ltd. is fully dedicated to supplying the most expert and personalized service available demonstrating exceptional value.  For these very reasons our clients from as far afield as The Bahamas, Ireland, France and Australlia, return to us time and time again.  Still the bulk of our business is with cruises, and  cargo-ship travel.

Technologically, we have moved our administration offices into the computer age.  As a result, we now have more time to speak with our clients - and prospective clients - either  by appointment for a face-to-face conversation, or by telephone.  Important as talking is, even more important is listening!   We do listen, because that's the best way to discover exactly what our clients want from their holiday.  Then we can intelligently recommend a selection of cruise options we believe they will enjoy.

 

Seven Seas Cruises-The Cruise People - Canada's Cruise Specialists in Passenger Freighters, Expedition Voyages, Luxury Cruises, Discount Cruises, Family Cruises for over 30 yearsAt The Cruise People, Ltd. we keep in mind that there is..."a ship for everyone, but not everyone for the same ship."  By that we mean, we take the time to speak with our clients about what will please them.  For some clients, an appealing, well planned itinerary ranks first.  Others give priority to the ship herself and the kinds of accommodation, cuisine, amenities and service she provides.  Most clients put value ahead of price - and so do we.  Having said that, we must mention that some of our favourite cruise ships are the vintage old-timers that operate at the budget end of the price range.
