About Us
Getman Cruise & Travel was developed in 2004. Ron had been creating and escorting groups since the 1980’s as an outside agent, and decided to start his own at-home travel business to give the type of service his clients deserve on the premise that nothing beats personalized service, experience, and attention to detail. While many Internet sites promise special deals, travelers are often unaware of restrictions, exceptions, add on fees and fine print. Making the right choices based on price alone is not always the best course of action for travelers. We hear too many stories of travelers regretting that they didn’t call us first. While many shop for a cheap price, a cheap experience is not desired rather a great experience is what travelers want and we provide. Ron’s cell phone is 941-725-4500 for text or voice. The email is ron@getmantravel.com or rongetman@gmail.com

We recognized the need for experienced agents in the Internet age. While many succumb to the pressure of bargain Internet sites, we know the value of guidance from knowledgeable and experienced travel professionals. So we leveraged our expertise to create a niche for Getman Cruise & Travel. Ron knew that travelers would appreciate the values of a full-service travel agency. Many travelers learned that they actually saved money by seeking the help of an experienced travel professional. Ron wanted to highlight this fact and decided to start his agency.
