About Us

Eric is the first name of the owner of Eric David Travel, LLC, and David is the name of his father, who inspired Eric to strike out on his own as a Travel Consultant.

David is and has always been an avid world traveler. His son Eric, like his dad, caught the travel bug and wanted to share these adventures and travel opportunities with his friends and family. Before Eric ventured out as an independent Travel Consultant, he started as a call center travel agent for a large successful online cruise agency back in November 2006. There, he learned the cruise vacation business and prospered as one of the leading travel agents in that company. After 6 years as a top producing, front line call center travel agent, Eric decided to strike out on his own and joined an established, well-known Travel Agent Host Agency, where he had more control over what products he could offer and who he provided his services to. A year after that, Eric was invited to join his former mentor-boss’s newly formed Travel Agent Host Agency, Cruise and Travel Experts. Eric took Tom Baumann up on his offer and they recently celebrated their 5-year anniversary. As Eric David Travel, LLC, has steadily grown the business, the main goal was to become an expert in the luxury market of leisure travel. Joining Tom and the Cruise & Travel Experts family was the best decision to make that goal a present-day reality.
