Donovan Davis

I'm the founder of E-L-K Travel Co., a cruise-focused agency serving clients nationwide across ocean, river, expedition, and luxury categories. I've sailed on 50+ cruises personally — across nearly every category and price point — which means I sell from experience, not brochures. We run a structured client journey from first inquiry through post-sailing follow-up, with a dedicated Guest Experience Manager handling day-to-day client support after booking. We use a custom client portal, active email marketing, and a lead generation operation built around category-specific content — including an Alaska cruise specialty program targeting 2027 and beyond. Over the past 12 months, we have generated more than $2.5 million in premium cruise sales, with a particular concentration in Alaska and Europe itineraries. I host group sailings under our "Sail With Us" program, where I travel onboard with clients as their advisor. These aren't just group bookings — they're curated experiences built around destination knowledge, supplier relationships, and on-ship access that comes from having done this personally, repeatedly, across every major cruise category. I'm an active participant in the industry at every level. I attend events including the ASTA River Cruise Expo, Cruise360, and the Las Vegas Travel Agent Forum as a SELECT Delegate. I'm a member of Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), the American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA), Travel Planners International, and Signature Travel Network. If you're a BDM, brand rep, or supplier looking for a serious agency partner in the cruise space — for co-marketing, group sailing features, destination spotlights, or joint content — I'd like to connect.
