David Locke and his wife, Cindy are delighted with their alliance with Avoya Travel. “We're very happy with our personal relationship with Avoya Travel.

"I forward my calls and my emails to my smart phone, allowing me to be responsive to my clients almost around the clock. We use an iPad, and a Chromebook as our travel computers. When I'm on one of my frequent cruises, I also have a "backup agent" whom I've briefed on all my active clients, and who assists with all their questions and needs." When you book with David, you get all his expertise and personalized attention, with the benefits of an American Express affiliate agency, and a professional support team.

Be sure to ask David about his multiple recent cruises. Most recently David and Cindy traveled on Oceania to Australia and New Zealand (ask us how we customized our trip!), then on Crystal's new River Ship, "Ravel" on the Danube. It was great to find a mug in Vienna, saying "There are no kangaroos in Austria" - as we'd just left Australia before the Danube trip. We were invited onto a pre-inaugural sailing of Celebrity Edge in December 2018. Back in 2016, David and Cindy were on the 2nd sailing of Fathom Adonia to CUBA! In 2015 they visited the Galapagos on Silversea. In 2013 alone he and Cindy were in North Cape Norway inside the Arctic Circle in July, then as far south as Melbourne and Sydney, Australia in September. In February 2013 they joined Oceania's Southeast Asia cruise Singapore to Hong Kong, then in 2014 were able to do the next cruise, Hong Kong to Beijing. In Europe, they've experienced AmaWaterways river cruise and also a Scenic River Cruise on the Danube, a Uniworld river cruise and a Tauck river cruise on the Rhone, and a Viking Long Ship and AmaWaterways down the Rhine, In addition to multiple Mediterranean Sea cruises, since 2011, David and Cindy have enjoyed a Princess cruise around the British Isles and Ireland, a Crystal cruise into the Black Sea, and the invitation-only Gala Christening Cruise of Oceania's Riviera!! David addressed the travel agent assembly as a panelist at the New York Times Travel Show in February 2008, and again in 2010 in Ft. Lauderdale. He regularly addresses fellow Avoya Travel agents on panels at company events such as regional "Avoya Academies". Since 2014, Seize the Seas has had combined annual sales (David and Cindy) of over $6,000,000 and is the top-producing agency at Avoya Travel.
