Our
Company's Story.
In
1937, Mr. Baard Hagen operated a delicatessen in New Westminster,
BC. In those days it was customary for the steamship lines to
appoint prominent businessmen as their representatives. Since
Mr. Hagen was an influential Norwegian businessman with strong
ties to the ethnic community, Norwegian and Swedish America Lines
appointed Mr. Hagen as their representative.
From
these modest beginnings Hagen’s Travel & Cruises has
grown to be in the forefront as one of the most respected names
in travel within British Columbia, Canada. Proud to be “The
Original Cruise Experts”, Hagen’s Travel & Cruises
now boasts 9 offices and employs 55 people.
Hagen's
Travel & Cruises is a wholly owned and operated British Columbia
travel company. Our company's success is based on our long reputation
for providing excellent service to a strong base of satisfied
customers.
The
experience and pride of owners, managers & staff, and the
quality of people our excellent reputation attracts and retains,
sets Hagen's Travel & Cruises apart from the others. We are
professionals who provide travel services that consistently fulfill
customer expectations. Our friendly and knowledgeable staff are

Recently,
Hagen’s Travel & Cruises was named by Holland America
Line as a Centurion member (one of the top 100 Cruise Agencies

Choice Award as the Best Travel Agency.
