My love of travel empowered me to
start Straight A Tours nearly 30 years ago. Since
then, it has grown into one of the largest and
most well respected tour operators for student
groups in the country. I am proud of our association
with our vendors, attractions, hotels, and cruise
lines. These relationships allow us to provide
you with an outstanding valuable experience, from
every aspect. We look forward to servicing your
group in the very near future and keeping our tradition
of receiving “Straight A's” from you!!

General Manager |
I am happy to be a part of
such a well-respected company and to be able to
work with such a talented team of individuals.
My 5 years experience as a high school band director
has afforded me the knowledge to know what is expected
of performing groups. My fellow coworkers share
the same love of students that I have and desire
to provide them with outstanding experiences.

Dr. Allen Beck
Festivals at Sea Executive Diretor |
With the pleasure of having four years as Executive Director for this program I have engaged
over 150 adjudicators. We have worked with internationally known band, orchestra and choral
conductors and educators who tell us the combination of fun and education provided by Festivals at
Sea is an unbeatable duo; it is an event that the students will remember for many years. These
directors have been especially pleased with adjudicators like Elliot Del Borgo, Jim Curnow, Drs.
Jerry Junkin, Paula Holcomb, John Wakefield, Robert Harris, James Bankhead, and Anna Hamre. We too
believe you will be pleased with your encounter onboard one of our cruises, and that your students
will advance musically with the experience. I can think of no better enjoyable way to reward your
students and expose them to the world's finest musicians and educators at the same time.

Traveling, to me, is one of the greatest ways
that a person can spend their time and money.
Great memories and friendships are made while
traveling in groups, and it is my pleasure to
assist you with planning an exciting cruise vacation.

It makes me proud to be a part of a company that
really pushes itself to be the best in the student
travel industry. I do my best to live up to that
reputation, and the reward is meeting with a group
who are having the time of their lives. Nothing
could be more fun!

Air Travel Manager |
Traveling by air can be a stressful experience.
“What airline should I choose?” “What
flight times will offer a better airfare?”
“What do all these rules and regulations
mean?” I am here to facilitate your group’s
air to be accurate, maintained, and stress free
for you. With my experience of over 10 years in
the travel industry, I have the knowledge and
ability to provide the best possible fare and
itinerary for your group’s needs. You will
spend more time planning what to do on your tour
and less time planning and organizing getting
there with Straight A Tours! |
