About Us - Cruise Holidays of Burlington would like to personally welcome you to the world of cruising! 

Carol Patterson (Owner/ Cruise Specialist) - Carol started cruising in 1988 when her husband and she decided to take their family to the west coast for a vacation and a cruise to Alaska became part of the itinerary.  She was immediately hooked when she walked on board the ship and was greeted with a glass of champagne and escorted to her stateroom.  Her love of cruising has taken her to many places, including Alaska, Mexican Riviera, the Caribbean (Eastern, Western and Southern), Bermuda, South America, Tahiti and Marquesas Islands, Australia and New Zealand, China, the Baltic and the Mediterranean (both Eastern Med and Western including Egypt and Israel).  From large to small size vessels and from luxury to family style cruising Carol has gathered many wonderful memories. Through her travel experience and the many cruise line educational courses she has attained her MCC (Master Cruise Counselor) among other cruise line accreditations.

Debbie Pickett (Owner/ Cruise Specialist) -  From memories of touring the original Queen Elizabeth in Ft Lauderdale years ago to Debbie's first cruise on Carnival’s original ship, the Mardi Gras, she has always loved the idea of travel by ship!  Debbie has worked in the Travel Industry since 1987, first in a Full Service agency for 5 years. and then in 1992, she finally "sailed" the cruise only world of Cruise Holidays, where she has remained.  Throughout her career, she has been fortunate enough to sail on many cruise lines, including Regent Seven Seas, Crystal Cruises, Holland America, Princess, Celebrity, Viking River Cruises, NCL, Carnival, Royal Caribbean and more! 

Debbie's favourite cruise itinerary: Norwegian Fjords       

Next Dream Cruise: Mekong River and Angkor Wat in Cambodia!

Lindsay Paine (Cruise Consultant) - After many years of working her way up to a supervisor position in a paintball factory, Lindsay decided she wanted to make a big change in her life and decided to go back to school. She graduated from Westervelt College's Travel & Tourism program with a Presidential Honour's Diploma and hasn't looked back since! Lindsay started her travel career in Sarnia and has since relocated to Burlington where she began working at Cruise Holidays. Although she currently only has one cruise under her belt, she highly recommends the world of cruising to everyone!
