As experts in planning the perfect vacation or cruise based on lifestyle and needs, Expedia CruiseShipCenters of Salt Lake City will now help residents sail away to their dream destinations.

Located at 6211 South Highland Dr., the business is owned and operated by local residents Eric and Peggy Schanz. As avid travelers and life-long residents of Holladay City, Eric and Peggy wanted to give back to the community by sharing their knowledge and helping the community to plan the perfect vacation. The Schanz’ are thrilled to be providing this professional service to Salt Lake City, and to alleviate the difficulties that come with planning and booking a vacation on your own.

“Vacationing is all about creating life-long memories, but the process of booking a complex, high-value trip like cruising can be intimidating,” Eric said. “With so many options available, customers really want to speak to an expert. Our team of knowledgeable Vacation Consultants are committed to helping our customers plan their next big adventure, and we look forward to working with the Salt Lake City community to help them find the cruise or vacation that is a perfect fit for their needs.”
