Fred Poe founded Poe Travel Service in 1961 with innovative travel planning as its signature. Since then, Poe Travel has built an international reputation for designing specialized, cutting-edge itineraries for independent travelers and escorted groups. With a 25-strong staff led by Ellison Poe, and CEO Margaret Kemp, Poe Travel boasts corporate and leisure clients from all 50 states and around the world.

Over the years Poe Travel has cultivated a tremendous global network of colleagues and friends - an asset which opens doors simply not available to those less established. For instance: We were the first agency in the United States to operate groups to the People's Republic of China after normalization of relations. More recently, our clients have attended a private piano concert in Bartok's apartment in Budapest, been received by the Thai Royal Family, dined with the Maharaja of Jaipur, and toured the Renoir museum with the great master's grandson as host.

The breadth and depth of our expertise is recognized by our colleagues, competitors and media the world over. We are confident that the dramatic changes in the travel industry in recent years position us to thrive in the years to come by capitalizing on our strongest asset: knowledge. As we tell our clients, "We are your home-based concierge!".

Now in our 47th year , Poe Travel is among the oldest privately owned agencies in the United States. We are a long-time member of Virtuoso, The American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA), and Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA).

Whether it's a weekend getaway, a cruise tailored to your personal taste or the journey of a lifetime - we urge you to heed our constant admonition: Please Go Away!
