Letter from the President  .....

In the spring of 1983, I stepped on a path that would become the most exciting adventure of my life. I decided to form a company specializing in international travel.

Today CVTravel (Contact Voyage Travel) is the fulfillment of my dream to encourage others to learn, to explore and to experience the wonders around us. My desire to help others go where they want to go and see what they want to see is coupled with my desire to build awareness and understanding as an important part of the journey.

Just as destination and desire are important, a good trip cannot be executed without serious emphasis on service. I am fortunate to have a dedicated staff of professionals who are in this business because they love to travel. This passion fuels their educational experience. Our staff makes every effort to offer you the best travel experience possible based on your request and your budget.

Client Kudos  .....

"You made every effort to make the trip to France run smoothly, with all the details fully researched before leaving the U.S. Your personal touches throughout the trip made it all the more unique and successful with our museum members. As a result, our travel program is quickly becoming well known for offering customized art oriented trips and many people look forward to, and ask about, the next ones! We are looking forward to the trip to Italy in the fall of 2000."

Deborah S. Taylor, Education Director
Huntsville Museum of Art
Huntsville, AL

"As conductor of the Internationally renowned A Cappella Choir for the past thirty four years, I have worked with many travel agencies. It was my good fortune a number of years ago to become acquainted with Norma Borella and CVT. One thing that distinguishes this company from all the others is that the entire staff shows a genuine personal interest in their clients. Norma and CVTravel have been the driving force in establishing knowledge, integrity and leadership in the travel area. Their professional reputation is recognized not only locally, regionally and nationally, but also internationally."

Dr. L. Gene Black, School of Music

"My company is in the television business and I operate eighteen stations spread around the country. I rely on Norma and her company to handle a client incentive trip for two hundred of my "very special" clients. It is no small feat to take that many people to a city like Paris and attend to their every need for over a week. CVTravel has performed this task repeatedly over the years. They have always been responsive, professional and willing to go to any length to make the "Client" happy."

Craig Millar, Vice President/Regional Manager
Sinclair Broadcast Group
Baltimore, MD

"Our company has worked closely with CVTravel for the past thirteen years. Many of our employees travel internationally, as well as all over the United States and we have found CVT to be very knowledgeable and professional in their dealings with us."

"For the past eleven years I have worked with CVTravel as the Automation Sales Manager for Amadeus reservation system. I have watched their business grow from a small volume account to one of the largest accounts in my territory. Actions (and their results) speak louder than words."

"....we enjoyed our recent trip to Italy. It certainly met the excellent standard Contact Voyage has always set. When we came home, we really felt we had "done Italy". Stressa was truly a jewel and a new place for my wife and me. A morning with the Pope was very special and an unforgettable day. It was a thrill to actually enter the Blue Grotto. Diane is so efficient and professional we feel comfortable knowing she has everything under control. I know there is a myriad of details and some that can change in a flash, but she stays calm and cool and just "handles it". In addition to her travel proficiency, she blends with the group so well that we feel she is part of the family. She seems to enjoy everyone as much as they enjoy her. Thank you for a wonderful trip, we look forward to more in the future. Best wishes for continued growth and success."
