After starting and finding his love in the entertainment business at the age of 16 and spending a little over 18 years on the air entertaining listeners on the radio airwaves in Eastern North Carolina, Gary Whitehurst made the move into his passion for travel over 12 years ago and hasn’t looked back. Gary stresses a focus on his relationship with his clients rather than just the suppliers.

Gary had been on 14 cruises before entering the cruise business and now has over 80 under his belt. Through his training over the past 12 years he has gained in-depth knowledge and certification from various vendors including Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Uniworld, Princess, Disney, Rocky Mountaineer, Regent, Silversea, Oceania, Virgin Voyages, and more. Gary has traveled extensively through the Caribbean, Bahamas, and has also visited Alaska, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Argentina, Brazil, and the Canadian Rockies with Rocky Mountaineer. In December 2017, Gary received his CTA recognition from the Travel Institute.

With a passion for travel, Gary will match you with a cruise or land vacation that fulfills your dream and fits your budget while giving you top notch service from start to finish and always staying in touch while exceeding your expectations at every aspect of the booking process. I want to thank you for taking the time to learn about who Gary is and what he can do to book your dream cruise, all-inclusive resort vacation, or escorted land vacation.

“Gary will make sure you are taken care of and will find that perfect vacation for you!”

Brandy Moore Miller

“A true professional in dealing with us his clients. Gary went the extra mile in helping us pull off the deal.. We started the booking very close to the sailing time/date. He actually found this cruise option for us and absolutely helped us with this last minute booking in order to make it happen. Also, he gave me a follow-up call as promised after the trip. I am confident in his ability and greatly appreciate all of his efforts to make this quick move become a very meaningful cruise for my family and I.”

“Gary is an amazing travel expert and person, he helped my family make my niece 15th birthday cruise happened. We called and talked about what we wanted, and he gladly arranged and found a cruise for us. He arranged all the individual families’ cabins and payments, during the 5 plus months he was available. As the cruise approached be made sure we were all ready, after the cruise he followed up and made sure we were satisfied. For all my cruise needs I will go to him hands downs. Cruising is the best way to experience so many different things. Thank you Gary for all u do.”

“Gary always goes the extra mile to make sure that our trip is a great experience. I sent him an email during non office hours and he promptly replied. He also double checks shortly before and after our trip to make sure everything is going well. Gary used to work with a different company and we followed him.”

Bradley Rohde
“Best of the Best. Makes sure his clients get the best value and the right information up front!”
Al Miller
“I just love Gary! This is the second time he has helped me plan my cruise getaways. He always finds me the best deals! I called Gary yesterday about companies to use to book shore excursions and he saved me about $10-20 a person by using a different company than the cruise line. He’s very knowledgeable about a lot of the cruise stops because he’s been there himself, not just read about it. Which to me is very important. Today I bugged him again because I decided not to do an excursion in Belize and asked about Taxi service, shopping and beaches. Within minutes I had information! I will always use Gary on any trip I have in the future! He’s friendly, fun and very professional! I will be recommending him to all my friends!”
Jennifer Odeen
“Gary is a high school friend who has booked several cruises for me and my friends. Gary got us the best deals, and our rooms were great. Gary is very personable and will help you book your dream cruise. Gary even called us the morning we were getting on the boat, which I thought was so nice. I recommend Gary to anyone who is looking to book a nice relaxing Cruise.”
