As of 2 April, VCK Cruises will be part of the Destin Travel Group, as the sixth travel specialist within the group.
Destin Travel, a Dutch family business active since 1968, specializes in offering high-quality travel under brand names such as Friendship River Cruises, Incento Train Travel, Air Cruise Collection, Hannink Music Travel, and Robinson Sea Cruises, with VCK Cruises now as its newest addition. With more than sixty years of experience, VCK Cruises has gained an excellent reputation in the premium cruise segment. The company has a unique position in the Dutch travel industry, “primarily by offering special, tailor-made trips and a strong emphasis on customer service,” according to the company.
There are significant similarities between Destin Travel Group and VCK Cruises. “Both companies serve the same target group, with a focus on superior service, personal attention and a unique range of trips. Thanks to this acquisition, VCK Cruises and Destin Travel Group are even better equipped to create distinctive journeys, allowing them to connect more closely with the wants and needs of their customers. Moreover, their combined years of experience provide a solid basis for mutual strengthening.’
Destin Travel Group appreciates VCK Cruises’ uniqueness and market position. “The group welcomes another unique addition to the family business. VCK Cruises will continue to operate under its own name within Destin Travel Group, while retaining its team and office in Amsterdam. Bart de Boer will continue in his role as Managing Director, responsible for the VCK Cruises team.’
