New Expedia CruiseShipCenters ‘Seanic’ Experience in Jacksonville
Local Entrepreneur to Help Customers Plan their Perfect Vacation

Saving time and money for a vacation has become more convenient with Expedia CruiseShipCenters’ newest retail travel agency in Jacksonville. As experts in planning the perfect vacation or cruise based on lifestyle and needs, Expedia CruiseShipCenters of Jacksonville will now help residents sail away to their dream destinations.
Located at 10915 Baymeadows Rd., Ste. 111 the new business is owned and operated by Debbie Moreland. Moreland is a long-time franchise owner, mother and grandmother. After retiring, Moreland wanted to pursue a venture that aligned with her passion for travel and still allowed her to give back to the local community. The new center is partnering with local organizations such as the Jacksonville Police Association, the Jacksonville Children’s Choir, Journey Into Womanhood and many school partnerships in the community. Along with giving back to the community, providing excellent customer service and helping people grow will be the cornerstone of the new Expedia, allowing the community to find their perfect vacation fit.
“Vacationing is all about creating life-long memories, but the process of booking a complex, high-value trip like cruising can be intimidating,” Moreland said. “One of my passions is fostering growth in employees and our center will deliver the highest standard of customer service to the Jacksonville community.”
