Empress Travel and Cruises is a Schenectady, NY Travel Agency
Let Us Be Your Ultimate Destination for Vacation Planning
Our Schenectady Travel Agency can plan vacations for our local friends as well as on a national basis.
A vacation is when you take time from your “real” life to get away from it all, and here at Empress Travel and Cruises we believe your vacation should be exactly that -- days or a few weeks of time in which the stress of your day-to-day life is forgotten. We believe the only memories you should create during your vacation are happy ones. Joyful, in fact.
We also believe there are three parts to a vacation -- the planning and anticipation of it, the vacation itself, and the memory of it.
Therefore, since planning for a vacation can be stressful -- the deciding where to go, the booking of the flights and the hotel, the finalizing of an itinerary -- we believe it’s our duty to make that part of your vacation as easy and stress-free as possible.
That’s why we can do it all. Call our Schenectady Travel Agency today!

Empress Travel and Cruises: Your Ultimate Destination for Vacation Planning
We can help you decide where to go: As an independently owned representative office of American Express, we are experts in creating wonderful vacations for travelers of every budget, every taste, every circumstance (empty nesters, honeymooners, families). As part of the American Express family, we carry a lot of clout -- which means we can negotiate some incredible deals for you, from hotels, cruise lines, rental car companies, airlines, and other travel contractors.
We will do all the “detail” work: From arranging for airfare, to getting you transportation from the airport to your destination, to guiding you in securing passports and/or visas, to doing all the little things that can create such an overwhelming feeling of “I’ll never get this all done in time.” We’ve been in business 39 years and we’re experts of making sure all the legwork necessary in creating the trip of your dreams is done on time and done correctly.
We can arrange for you to travel where you wish to go, whether it be halfway across the world in Europe, South America, the South Pacific, or closer to home in the U.S. -- or even just down the road in the Saratoga region.
Are you looking for adventure? Or do you prefer the pampering of a spa? Or both?
Is your dream vacation aboard a cruise ship? Do you dream of sailing the South Pacific, the Caribbean, the Mediterranean ? Are you cruising with your new spouse -- or is the whole family coming along for a large reunion or anniversary celebration?
Take a look around this Web site. You’ll find just some of the vacation packages we can book for you. If there’s something you desire and it’s not here, just let us know and we’ll get it for you.
It’s your vacation. You tell us what you desire and we’ll make sure you get it.
Won’t you leave the vacation planning work to us? All you’ll have to do is pack.
