Inspiring People. Creating Dreams. Sharing the Passion.

In the fast-paced and dynamic world of the travel industry, Splash Vacation and Cruise® has been creating amazing travel experiences, for thousands of travelers, since 1975.

You can plan a vacation on your own or seek the expertise of a travel agent. No matter what choice you make, your first step, should always begin with a question.

“How much money do I need to save to make a bad vacation worth it?”

Our experience has taught us that there is no value in a cheap vacation. In fact, there really is no such thing as a cheap vacation.

A remarkable vacation experience requires knowledge and expertise in the planning process. Splash Vacation and Cruise® offers award-winning certified travel consultants that provide guidance for you to maximize the value of every vacation.

We know that the best price is just as important. Once we help design your perfect vacation, we have the best industry tools and technology, to go after the lowest price.

We don’t just talk about it. We guarantee it.

Splash Vacation and Cruise® was founded and incorporated by Don and Kay Voss in 1975. Purchased by their son Dean Voss in 1994.
