Meet Our Cruise Specialists
Jim Work
At the 2007 Cruise Holidays annual conference, Jim won two awards. The first was for "Knock your Socks Off Customer Service." The second was for "Superior Sales Achievement." We believe these two awards go hand-in-hand. Jim is available 7 days a week, and goes above-and-beyond time-and-time again for his clients. He represents clients worldwide, and has sailed on numerous cruise lines. In 2006 alone, Jim took cruises in the Mediterranean, Alaska, the Caribbean, and a Viking River Cruise in Europe. Jim also has traveled Australia and New Zealand, and has enormous knowledge and familiarization with all of our cruise line partners. Knowing that each cruise line caters to a different demographic and to different interests, he will work closely with you to ensure you have the best possible experience. Jim is a graduate of The College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia, and prior to his career with Cruise Holidays, worked in the technological field.
