The folks at Jan's Cruise and Travel have one aim: To give their clients the best possible "match" in travel mode and destination so they will have the best vacation experience possible. Proof of this is in the number of clients that return year after year. You see, they don't just want to sell numbers; they look at each travel package like it was their own.
Jan Opland MCC, Owner:
Master Cruise Counselor Accredited
"Too many ships, too little time"
Jan has been in the travel business for almost 20 years and her
passion for travel has not waned a bit. As a matter of fact,
Jan finds herself loving travel and the travel business more and more.
Whether it be alone or escorting a group, a cruise or land travel, Jan
is in her element!
Although she cannot decide what her favorite cruise line is, her most memorable vacation was aboard Celebrity Cruise Line's "Millennium" to the Western Mediterranean with a land vacation prior in Portofino, Italy. The Panama Canal with Princess Cruises has also been one of her favorites and just recently after returning from escorting a group on Royal Caribbean to Australia and New Zealand rates right up their at the top of her list.
Jan achieved her M.C.C. (Master Cruise Counsel) from C.L.I.A. (Cruise Lines International Association) after 2 years of studying, inspecting cruise ships and writing a thesis on the cruise business in our travel industry. This allows her to properly "qualify" a client to the perfect cruise line and ship.
When asked about retirement, she emphatically stated, "Never!". If she did retire, she would live aboard a ship and sail the seas!
