Summary description of services:

1) We create customized no-risk travel packages which will earn top $$ at your fundraising events. You never pay us for a trip unless it sells at your event! Our packages can include private jets, limousine service, personal chefs, cooking classes, wine tours, and other upscale amenities. With our Patron Support Program, you have the opportunity to provide continuuing funding year-round. We can provide a Free "Cruise Auction Fundraiser" web site for your organization.

2) We setup group cruises of 16 to 1600 on any cruise line to any cruise destination. Although all of the cruise line programs are different, typically they will make a donation to your organization for each cabin sold. If you have at least 30 guests (15 cabins) they will provide a Free cabin you can raffle, auction, or use some other way to increase your fundraising dollars.

3) We provide cruises as an incentive for a raffle or as an incentive for a walk, run or other event. A cruise is perceived as a much better "prize" than cash, gift certificates or almost any retail item.

We are the philanthropic arm of Milestonecruises.com and Cruises Inc. Since 1981 we have sold cruise vacations from all of the major cruise lines and many small specialty cruise lines to our clients. We now also provide weekly Luxury Villa rentals from our partner, Villas of Distinction. We rent Villas in the Caribbean, Mexico, Europe, Tahiti, and Napa Valley.

Testimonials and/or references:

“It is my privilege to write this recommendation for Dave as the owner of both Milestoneruises and Fundraisingcruises. I have worked with Dave for the past two consecutive years to help our organization with our fundraising silent auctions. Each and every time he has gone above and beyond my requests (and my expectations) by offering high-quality cruise packages, villa suites, golf vacations and Disney packages for us to auction to a variety of enviable destinations! These are "enviable" vacation packages that any organization would be proud to extend to its stakeholders. If you're looking for the pinnacle of service and attractive offerings (with a smile, exemplary service and a great personality to go with it), I highly recommend Dave!”  ~ Tracy Alexis, Development Director, St. Martin's Hospitality Center

“Dave has been very proactive with suggestions for my fundraisers. He has been extremely helpful & knowlegeable with ideas for which trips & villas would be most successful for each event. Rather than trying to get me to auction off the most expensive packages, he listens to my needs for each event & has always steered me in the right direction for packages that will appeal to my demographic. He always follows through on his commitments. And if the exact package is not available for the desired date, he's very diligent about finding a comparable package for the desired time. I've enjoyed working with Dave & certainly plan to continue using his services.” 

"Top qualities: Great Results, Personable, Creative" ~ Amy Kolligian

“Dave helped out United Blood Services by laying out the best options of a cruise to give away that would entice the blood donors of the Ft. Smith, Hot Springs and Texarkana areas. Dave made it simple to make arrangements for air travel along with the arrangements and reservations for a cruise. It was a pleasure doing business with Dave because he explained everything form top to bottom to make sure there were no surprises along the way. Thanks."
