Diane Shelton

Chesterfield, VA

Your Dream Cruise Consultant

From Detroit, MI to Chesterfield, VA, I've lived in numerous places all across the country. My travels, however, are not limited to land. In fact, ever since I took my first cruise, I was hooked.

So hooked that in 2007 I became the owner of Cruise Holidays, specializing in helping you explore the world on the sea.  No matter your reason for wanting to go on a cruise, a family getaway, bridal shower occasion, fundraiser or corporate meeting, I can plan a dream cruise for you and your companions.


It is through my years of experience and my enthusiasm for traveling that I have developed a travel agency that takes into account all aspects of traveling abroad.
I want you to be completely relaxed on your cruise, and I will ask you many questions in regards to your personal interests and preferences to help determine which cruise will be the best fit for you and your companions.  Whether you want to be enveloped in warm weather the entire time or experience everything from wildlife to nature we will find just the right voyage for you!


I must admit that my favorite place to travel is Hawaii. The beauty, the breathtaking views, everything about Hawaii excites me. On my first cruise to Hawaii, I learned a lot about being an agent. In fact, our agent was awful and I had to do most of her job for her. It was during that trip to Hawaii that I decided I wanted to become a travel agent, and I vowed to provide superior services that were centered around each client.


By combining my first-rate customer service with my knowledge of traveling the world, I am your go to travel agent.

TRIP OF A LIFETIME
I first met Diane through a mutual friend who booked my first cruise on Royal Caribbean Cruise lines back in 2016. Her personality alone let me know that she and I would be a good fit. She walked me through every detail of what I should do in terms of securing my reservation; such as obtaining insurance for my flight as well as my cruise. I consider myself to be a late bloomer as it relates to traveling.I started cruising back in 2015, so I was happy to have someone help me navigate through this process. Once we returned from the Caribbean; Diane immediately sent out the 2017 itinerary for all up and coming trips. I saw there was a European land tour scheduled for September 2017; of course I had to know more about it.Once I contacted her about the price and how soon I could book my reservation.She was “ON IT”!! Long story short, I booked my trip to Europe and I had the pleasure of traveling with Diane and 6 other people. It was the trip of a lifetime and I would definitely do it again!

She was a true cruise/vacation expert!
I am happy to write this review of Diane Shelton. My family wanted to go on an Alaska cruise for vacation and to be honest I was not excited about doing so, But now... I can't wait until my next cruise. We were in a different port each day and to top it all off, there was a land portion to the trip. So I got the best of two worlds. The cruise ship was over whelming. There was so much to do and see. I didn't get bored at all and that was my biggest fear, ( other than getting sea sick and Diane took care of that too). I was like a big continuous party. I land portion was just as exciting. Alaska is truly the last frontier and I got to see it up close and personal. I saw elk, bears and old Indian burial ground. It was great!!! We all enjoyed it and we're looking forward to the next big vacation and believe you me, Diane will be my travel agent. She was a pleasure to work with and covered all of the details All we had to do was show up, Of course we had to pay the money, but it was well worth it. Every penny!! I would recommend Miss Diane to every one. You're in goo hands with Diane, the travel expert! Daniel Sheehy Jr.
