Since 2 April, VCK Cruises has become part of the Destin Travel Group, which will be the sixth travel specialist of the group. Destin Travel is a Dutch family business that has been active since 1968 with the sale of high-quality, specialist voyages under five brand names: Friendship River Cruises, Incento Train Travel, Air Cruise Collection, Hannink Music Travel and Robinson Sea Cruises. VCK Cruises joins as the sixth travel specialist. In its more than sixty years of existence, VCK Cruises has built up a very good reputation in the higher cruise segment. “Partly by offering unique, curated trips and a great focus on service, the company has managed to secure its own position in the Dutch travel world,” the company says. There are important agreements between the Destin Travel Group and VCK Cruises. “Both companies focus on the same target group with excellent service, personal attention to the customer and a unique travel offer. With this acquisition, VCK Cruises and the Destin Travel Group are even better able to put together distinctive trips, so that they can respond even better to the wishes and needs of the customer. In addition, they can reinforce each other based on the years of experience that both companies have.” The Destin Travel Group cherishes VCK Cruises’ unique DNA and its distinctive character in the market. “Once again, the Destin Travel Group can add a unique gem to its family business. VCK Cruises and its employees will continue to operate as an independent part of the Destin Travel Group from its current office in Amsterdam. Bart de Boer will continue to be responsible for the VCK Cruises team as Managing Director.”
