Founded in 2001 by Julie and Barry Karp, two former travel agents, the Glendale, Wis.-based company made a name for itself creating intimate and unique port experiences for cruise passengers and providing a refreshing and less costly alternative to the standard fare offered by the cruise lines.
As their business expanded so did their offerings, and today they provide thousands of excursions and activities in 420 cruise ship ports-of-call and 180 cities worldwide. Each excursion is personally vetted by the Karps, and tour operators are hand selected based on their attention to detail, ability to meet a high standard of quality and their close relationship with other local businesses and harbor masters.
And, Shore Trips offers excursion coordinators on call 24/7, providing agents with round-the-clock support in the event of last minute itinerary changes or client request.
