About Dennis

Dennis J. Nyhan – Founder & Travel Advisor

My model is centered on ensuring you start every cruise vacation with the peace of mind that comes from knowing you have secured excellent value. I have built a tech-forward website that provides all the tools you need for seamless, unassisted bookings, while simultaneously serving as an advanced research platform that allows me to provide you with personalized, expert assistance in crafting truly memorable vacations.

Pre-Secured Inventory – Featured Cruise Deals

Our Pre-Secured Inventory showcases my current Featured Cruise Deals. Through strategic partnerships with Travel Planners International and the Signature Travel Group, we have negotiated exclusive access to pre-secured cabin inventory at a lower cost to our clients than is typically available through other online travel agencies. You can explore these selections on our home page.

Personalized Research & Last-Minute Getaways

For immediate assistance, my AI assistant, Skipper, provides rapid, high-level research, instantly identifying cruise options that align with your specific travel parameters. Beyond these automated capabilities, I offer access to unpublished last-minute fares that can provide substantial discounts compared to standard pricing. Regardless of your travel needs, please reach out to me directly at any time for personalized assistance.

My Background: A Foundation of Service and Expertise

You might wonder why I haven’t been selling travel my entire life. My journey began with a focus on business operations and community service. I spent 18 years as the Founder and President of Dennan Office and Computer Supplies, where I managed all operations until the company was part of a series of strategic acquisitions that eventually led to Staples. Following that transition, I spent 15 years as a Strategic Account Manager at Staples Business Advantage. My commitment to my community also led me to found Chicago Family Directions, a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to providing free, high-quality tutoring to disadvantaged children.

My professional and philanthropic work is grounded in my education, having earned my degree from Loyola University of Chicago and a Professional Certificate in Integrated Marketing from the University of Chicago Graham School. These experiences shaped my commitment to integrity, efficiency, and client-first philosophy—values I now bring to every cruise itinerary I curate for you.
