Experienced Cruise and Luxury Travel Advisor
What a Rush! Water rafting in Alaska.
I am humbled and honored to have been named 2019 ASTA Travel Advisor of the year.
A passion for travel led to the start of our Agency in 2004. My experience as a Co-Owner - Travel Advisor for over 18 years as well as being an Accountant, combined with personal experience of over 125 sailings all over the world allows me to provide exceptional service with a combination of passion, knowledge and experience. I have also attained CLIA's Master Cruise Counselor designation and member of the Luxury Leaders Alliance.
This combination of first-hand experience, passion, attention to detail and genuine caring dictates our mantra of offering the best values, amenities, and travel tips to make your vacation truly unforgettable. Having traveled throughout Europe, the United States (including Alaska & Hawaii), Canada and the Caribbean allows me to provide insight to customize and design your trip. Our preferred partnerships with tour operators and cruise lines throughout the world such as Abercombie & Kent, Celebrity Cruises and Amawaterways offer unique experiences and various amenities.
Although our name is Cruise Elite, we are a Full Service Travel Agency and can assist with any travel via land, air, rail or sea. My Crew has over a decade of experience individually both as Travel Advisors and World Travelers.
I am here before, during and after your trip. I believe in the golden rule of treating our clients like we would like to be treated ourselves.

All trips with Marisel, were Best Trips
Reviewed By Jo & Bob - Ormond Beach, Fl. | Traveled to Caribbean
Marisel Aleman is simply the most exciting, helpful, caring, problem solving, travel agent we could have found. The day we walked into her office was our lucky day, not hers. Marisel goes over and beyond when planning a trip with you. She gives her all. She has never let us down. She also is the reason we would recommend to any, and everyone that it is much better to use a travel agent to plan a trip, than to do the arrangingourselves. She does everything, simply everything, to make our trips the smoothest, and most pleasurable trip they can possibly be. From the moment we plan a trip with Marisel, to the day we get home, everything is taken care of. She fills out all paperwork! Do we like her? No, we love her! She is packed with personality, and makes one feel they are the only client she has. She is amazing. I’ve never known anyone who has worked so hard at their job, and made it seem like such a joy. She is simply a wonder-woman in the world of travel agents. Priceless!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends

Most Exciting Cruise Ever!
Reviewed By Fran - Ormond Beach | Traveled to China ~ East and Southeast Asia
My husband and I would not change travel agents for anything. Marisel is wonderful.... knowledgeable, friendly and extremely patient. I am a nervous traveler with many questions, Marisel never fails to take the time to answer my questions and put me at ease. Marisel is wonderful....can't say enough good things about her. The entire staff at Cruise Elite in Ormond Beach makes traveling a pleasure.

Over the Top Alaska Vacation
Reviewed By Jan - Ormond Beach, FL | Traveled to Alaska ~ USA
At the beginning of our initial planning meeting with Marisel she asked "What is your idea of Your Perfect Alaska Vacation?" This began one of many discussions where Marisel LISTENED to our wants, timeframes & budget over many months of planning. With Covid Restrictions delaying our trip , she kept track of our initial deposits so we would not lose what we had paid, keeping us well informed until we were able to reschedule our trip. She coordinated "Our Perfect Alaska Trip" consisting of a Lindblad/Nat'l Geographic Cruise; Bicycling Tours; Sea Ride to a Wilderness Lodge Salmon Fishing; Helicopter to Glacier Tour; and Train Ride, all Adventures; Flights; Ground Transpiration; Hotels/Lodging was so well planned out all went smoothly Also, Marisel provided helpful hints on comfortable clothing & travel tips.

I have been working with Marisel on my travel plans for over 5 years. Marisel and her team are extremely efficient and very customer oriented, as well as knowledgeable. Marisel not only manages the work of quoting and looking for the best available offers, but she is detailed in working with you on booking and assisting with ideas on excursions and other items. She is great with coordinating for a single family, as well as multiple families and groups. Most recently Marisel was able to work with us and advocate on our behalf when an unusual situation took place, and plans were changed. She fought to help us with some of the challenges we faced, and came out successful in her efforts. She is the travel agent we all need, to make our vacationing and travel a wonderful and stress free experience.
