A local veteran-owned business is being officially welcomed into the community this month. Royce Staley, independent travel advisor with Cruise Planners, will celebrate his recently launched business with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday, February 12 at 11:30 am at the New Braunfels Chamber of Commerce.
The ceremony marks the formal introduction of his travel-focused business that he opened last year to the local community and highlights the continued growth of small, locally owned businesses in New Braunfels.
Royce is a disabled veteran and longtime New Braunfels resident who brings both national resources and hometown service to his clients.
As part of Cruise Planners, the nation’s #1 at-home travel franchise, he has access to exclusive deals, preferred pricing, and strong relationships with major cruise lines, resorts, and tour operators around the world.
But what makes his business unique isn’t just the buying power of a national brand. It’s the personal connection.
Royce lives here. He knows the community. And when clients call, they’re speaking directly to the owner, not a call center or a booking engine. He listens to what families, couples, and groups actually want out of a trip, then builds customized itineraries around their goals, budget, and interests.
From Mediterranean cruises and Caribbean all-inclusives to multi-generational vacations and passion-driven group travel, Royce helps simplify the process while offering support before, during, and after each trip. He even monitors price drops after booking and advocates for clients if travel hiccups arise.
And perhaps most surprising to many first-time clients is that working with Royce doesn’t cost extra. His services are paid by travel suppliers, meaning travelers receive personalized planning and insider perks without additional fees.
For a community that values small businesses and supporting veterans, Royce’s ribbon-cutting is a chance to celebrate a neighbor who is helping New Braunfels residents see the world a little more easily.
