Becky Xian
Becky Xian has been on the Cruises and Beyond's team for 5 years. Her interest in travel started from an early age. She earned a degree in tourism from Guangzhou University in Guangzhou, China with an emphasis on the English language. Upon graduation she worked in the hospitality service with a famous hotel that mainly served foreign customers. Coming to the United States was a life changing experience for her. Furthering her studies in the English language while attending college here, she landed an opportunity here at Cruises and Beyond. Through vigorous training and on the job experience, she has become a very capable travel consultant and her many clients can attest to that. Aside from her ability to speak and write fluently in Chinese, her attention to the details of travel planning and her unmatched patience has earned her the greatest admiration from her loyal clients.
Florence Wan
As a mother of three, Florence’s travel experience grew as her children grew - from driving to Disneyland with toddlers to flying with college students in preparation for their studies abroad. She is an experienced organizer of multiple family reunions and a seasoned solo traveler, both domestically and overseas. Last fall, when she became an empty-nester, she accomplished her milestone birthday goal of hop-scotching through Asia. With so much of the world to see, her ever growing wish list includes Vietnam, Morocco, Hokkaido, Bhutan and Patagonia. Whether enjoying conch salad in Nassau; climbing a clock tower in Prague; or hanging out with deer in Nara, she travels to learn about the landmarks, history, culture, cuisine and people that give each locale its unique flavor and characteristics.
