Hello! We're Michael and Korynne (Kory) Cardwell, the husband-and-wife team behind Cross Tie Travels.  Based in the Branson, Missouri area, we founded our family-owned and operated travel agency in 2024 to share our passion for exploration and help others create unforgettable experiences.

Cross Tie Travels is a full-service agency specializing in river cruises, but we also have a soft spot for luxury rail.  We are a perfect fit for travelers seeking elegance, comfort, and adventure.  We've explored many destinations over the years and understand the excitement of planning the perfect getaway.  Our goal is to take the stress out of travel planning and turn your dream vacation into a reality.

One of our favorite aspects of this business is meeting fellow travelers, hearing their stories, and learning about their dream destinations.  We'd love to do the same for you-let's start planning your next incredible journey today!
