Cruises-N-More Background
Founded in 1998 by Patricia ‘Pat’ Neidhardt, Cruises-N-More has grown to become one of the largest online cruise agencies in the U.S.
Pat’s vision for the company was to give clients the best deals in a friendly manner that put the customer’s best interests first, just the same as if they were family.
Cruises-N-More is truly a family-run business. As CEO of Cruises-N-More, Pat, and her family – including Tiffany, Todd, Tifni, plus numerous other employees and managers – continue to strive to maintain the “family friendly atmosphere” daily. Mike, who is retired, provides a much loved smile, occasional doughnuts, coffee and a jovial attitude when he visits the office.
“I feel this is the best business we could possibly be in, as our whole family loves to travel and has been cruising together since the 80s, when the children were very young. We have now introduced cruising to the next generation of the Neidhardt family, our beloved grandson, Xander, who was born in 2009 to Tifni and Todd,” says Pat. Xander has already traveled extensively and sailed on the Norwegian Epic (4th of July 2010), the Silversea Sliver Spirit (Sept. 2010) and the Royal Caribbean Allure (Thanksgiving 2010).
In addition to cruising, the Neidhardt family travels together frequently — not only on cruises but to Hawaii and various countries in Europe. Two-year-old grandson Xander has already sailed on multiple ultra-luxury ships and visited the Caribbean, Europe and Hawaii, as well as various states in the U.S. Hopefully, traveling from a young age will inspire Xander to one day to join the family business.
