History
Patrick Bitzer, travel advisor and owner of Cruise Planners/ Stpatrickstravel.com, purchased a local franchise of the national travel company Cruise Planners, an American Express Travel Affiliate, in 2011. Located in the Southern California Wedding Center (Suite 202 at Mary Me Bridal, 2922 E. Chapman Ave., Orange, CA) his business serves the central Orange County area and beyond. Patrick was bitten by the travel bug while touring the world as a classical musician, visiting 48 countries. He chose to use his extensive expertise to share the joy of travel with people. Cruise Planners/stpatrickstravel.com has becoming one of the top performing Cruise Planners agencies in the Western United States and ranks in the top sales category for Cruise Planners nationally. His agency has quadrupled in the last year. Patrick is a graduate of Pepperdine University holding a Masters of Business Administration degree.
