Cruise Holidays of Wichita is owned and operated by Sharon & Joe Bye. We joined Cruise Holidays because of our passion for cruising. It wasn’t always that way. We were hard to convince when considering our first cruise. It took our friends a few years to convince us to go with them on one of the many cruises they would take. We had the same fears and concerns that we now hear every day. We were afraid of becoming bored and being on a rigid schedule that did not fit what we liked to do. We didn't want to be stuck in a closet on a boat out in the middle of nowhere, with a bathroom so small we could sit on the toilet while brushing our teeth and taking our shower. We finally gave in and went on that “First Cruise”. We found it to be our “Best Vacation Ever”. We became fanatical.  

We always wanted our own business. We were so impressed with the Cruise Holidays organization. It was the logical choice. Our goal was to offer personal, professional service with an uncommon agency atmosphere. We knew we had achieved our goal when clients began to remark that we are so different from other agencies. We take pride in having a relaxed unhurried atmosphere in our office and over the phone. We take the time to learn what is important to our clients and then find possibilities that fit the desired experience.

We now have enough years in the business to know we wouldn’t have it any other way and we still Luv 2 Cruise.
