TRAVEL & CRUISE VACATIONS SPECIALIST at Edwin Travel & Cruises, Inc. which is a traditional family owned TRAVEL AGENCY that has survived despite the impressive growth and use of the internet. You may ask yourself why come to us when you can buy directly from the internet? The answer is simple. When you try to book an airline ticket or a vacation package online and you have a personal question, there is no one on the other end of your internet connection to give you the answer. Or better yet, when you need to make a change to your reservation, can the internet give the best available option? We, as travel agents, can make the best recommendations for your travel arrangements based on first-hand experience, our knowledge of the travel industry, and feedback from our clients. This priceless one-on-one interaction is provided to our clients for a minimal fee, which is compensated by the excellent customer service we provide to you.
Our business was established in 1986, operating at 20 First Avenue, New York, NY 10009 in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Originally, we opened our doors to the public as Edwin Travel Agency II, a branch office of Edwin Travel Agency, Inc. in Brooklyn. In May of 2005, our business became independent and was incorporated in The State of New York with the Name of Edwin Travel and Cruises, Inc. In November of 2008, we moved to a new location, just two blocks away, at 166 Allen Street, New York, NY 10002. We currently operate from this location.
With the knowledge and experience we have acquired over the years through extensive training and traveling, our Travel and Cruise Specialists, Victoria (Vicky) Batista and Luis Batista (Captain Luis) invite you to continue using the internet for information purposes only. When it comes to arranging and paying for that long awaited vacation, we urge you to put your trust in us and allow us to put our expertise to work for you. Wherever your travel plans may take you, it will be our pleasure to help you stretch your dollars and make your next vacation an unforgettable retreat.
Bon Voyage!
