Our Specialists
Our team is dedicated to making this the best experience for you.
Harvey Strydhorst, BA ECC
President
For over twenty years Harvey has worked in the travel industry. It was a natural fit for him to be cofounder of what has become the multi award winning Sea Courses Cruises in 1995. This has enabled him to experience over a hundred countries and just as many sea voyages on many of the world's best ocean liners.
With his keen understanding of his professional clients needs, he has instilled the principles of - explore, learn, & connect - not only with his travel offerings, but too with his team's consulting services. It is because of his insights and knowledge that he has the honour to sit on the Celebrity Cruises Travel Agent Advisory Board and the Regent Seven Seas Cruises Travel Agent Council.
