Phil & Allan Thompson
I own Signature Cruise Travel – Dream Vacations in Hiddenite, North Carolina, and plan cruises and vacations for travelers in Alexander County, the surrounding area and across the country. My focus is ocean and river cruises, group travel and land tours. I also have a lot of experience helping travelers who need extra attention to comfort, mobility or accessibility. I spent my career in military service, and I bring the same attention to detail to every trip, from the first conversation through the day you come home. If you are comparing options or are not sure where to start, call me and I will help you sort it out.
My son, Allan Thompson, is my partner in the business and runs our branch in Gatesville, Texas. Travelers in that area can reach him through his Dream Vacations page: Signature Cruise Travel-Dream Vacations in TX
What My Clients Say
“Phil worked with my mom for a year meticulously planning the details of our Alaska trip and ensuring everything was wheelchair accessible. Having Phil's help enabled us to relax and enjoy our time together, rather than focusing on the little details.”
