History
CruiseShipCenters International was established as a travel agency franchise in Vancouver in 1987. In 2007, Expedia bought a "significant but non-controlling" interest in cruise vacation specialists CruiseShipCenters International, then based in Vancouver. At the time, CruiseShipCenters had 100 retail locations in Canada, and booked 20% of all cruises sold in the country. In 2007, it had projected annual revenues of $305 million, with 1,500 cruise consultants. Expedia announced it would expand the company into the United States as well. As of March 2013, Expedia Inc owned 100% of the company.
