How it started
Born from a Passion for Discovery
Union Vacations was founded in Sacramento in 1999 by a group of passionate travelers who believed that the best trips aren't booked online — they're crafted by people who've actually been there.
For over 25 years, we've been a full-service travel agency planning and booking flights, hotels, guided tours, and river and ocean cruises for individuals and groups of all sizes. Our philosophy hasn't changed since day one: every trip we plan is personal.
Whether you're a couple dreaming of a Mediterranean cruise, a family ready for a guided European tour, or a group organizing a once-in-a-lifetime expedition — we handle every detail from the first booking to the last transfer.
