Who is Chuck Olson Tours & Cruises? We are a group of people (including Chuck Olson) who love to travel! It’s our love of travel that makes us great at what we do! Chuck Olson Tours & Cruises is an 18 year-old travel agency with incredible customer service, broad travel experience, and experts that not only book travel, but we travel extensively ourselves—not because it’s our job, but because we love to travel!
When you call Chuck Olson Tours & Cruises you could be speaking with a staff member who has taken as many as 75 cruises or hosted cruises with as many as 100 customers or someone who hosted 35 people on a square dancing cruise. Because of the volume of cruises that we book, we have excellent relationships with many of the cruise lines. It’s those relationships that allow us to provide extra perks, better staterooms, and prime room locations on your cruise.
For cruises and land tours, our favorite countries to travel are: China, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Sweden, Norway, Caribbean, Finland, Denmark, Costa Rica, Canada, Austria, England, Italy, and Alaska —which covers almost everywhere!
To those who are hesitant to try a new travel experience, here are some comments from our staff:
- “If you go to Belize, make sure you try the zip line shore excursion—we loved it!”
- “Give a cruise a try! We can book a short cruise so you can really get an idea of whether you will like it (we know you will). It is a wonderful way to travel.”
- “A cruise is the best travel bargain for your buck.”
- “A European river cruise is a wonderful experience! It’s so relaxing and a great friendly family atmosphere.”
- “A group just returning from Branson is getting together for coffee next week to talk about the trip and plan the next one. There are many lasting friendships made. Our hosted tours and cruises are very special.”
- “I want our guest to have a great time and to thoroughly enjoy the experience. I can best support that objective by doing everything I can to assure they have a wonderful time—from carrying luggage, joking as I call bingo on a tour bus, and fixing any inconvenience they may experience.”
- “There are many amenities on the cruise ships, wonderful shore excursions, and adventures you can experience!”
- “Try it! You’ll like it!”
- “Remember, when using a travel agent you always have an advocate. We can almost always meet or beat a cruise line price. We care for all the little details that go into making your cruise a memorable one.”
- “Chuck does a Chuck Olson Tours & Cruises ‘Travel Club Breakfast’ a couple of times a year. This is open to anyone who has traveled with us. It’s like “old home week” our clients greeting one another that they have met on our trips.”
- “It really doesn’t matter the age of the Chuck Olson Tours & Cruises customer—they are all treated with respect and given the same service. We, as an agency, are always seeking ways to be more helpful and better serve our customers.”
