Cruise & Tour Owners: Dennis and Peggy Crull

Company founder Peggy Crull has spent the past 38 years in the travel industry and opened Downtown Travel, Inc. (now Cruise & Tour) in 1975. Dennis Crull joined the company in 1983. Together, the Crulls have been on well over 150 cruises including destinations such as Indonesia, French Polynesia, the Norwegian Fjords, the Greek Isles and Antarctica. They have led groups on safari in Kenya, ridden elephants through the jungles of Thailand, and explored the Galapagos Islands and the depths of the Amazon. And they've cruised on every size and type of vessel, from French canal barges to the Queen Mary 2. The thing they love most about their business? "Meeting people and helping to make their travel dreams come true!"
