Our Team

  • Lisa Le Brun, Manager, Branch Operations

    I started in the travel industry over 25 years ago as a leisure agent. Within a couple of years I was managing a high volume agency in Pompano. Eventually I moved to my dream job at Boca Raton Travel & Cruises. This has been my home for about 23 years. Eventually I found a niche specializing in the fast paced world of corporate travel and intricate air!

    I am now the manager of Boca Raton Travel & Cruises and have come full circle as I delve back into the leisure travel environment. I think I have developed the perfect combo of creating dream vacations for a select clientele, and keeping abreast of all the crazy ins and outs of air travel with my corporate clients. I love being in a business that continues to change and challenge daily.

    My own personal travel reflects a passion for culture, food, art and wellness with recent trips to Canyon Ranch Spa, Cuba, Panama, Oman, Prague, Paris and Italy (and more!!)

  • Dee Framson, Cruise & Travel Expert

    Kiddingly, Dee has said that she’s been in the travel business since “Noah sold the first two for one on the Ark”. She has been in travel since 1966 when, together with her husband Ron, they purchased their first of three full service travel agencies.

    In 1986, they sold their businesses and she decided to specialize in selling and training within the cruise-only industry. She thus became affiliated, on a management level, with a major cruise-only selling entity and remained with them in many capacities for 20 years.

    In August of 2009, she said that she was fortunate to become affiliated with Boca Raton Travel & Cruises and has enjoyed her entry back into the retail marketplace. She says that it has been challenging and rewarding, and has caused her to tap in to all of her data banks to be able to sell everything from cruises to safaris.

    She is now practicing what she preached for all those many years as a trainer in travel – both in sales and marketing. Her job responsibilities with Boca Raton Travel & Cruises are in the leisure department, selling all forms of vacation programs to new and existing clients. As always, she endeavors to keep as current as possible within the industry so she is able to share this with her co-workers, as well as with her clients.

    Many times the question is asked regarding her favorite destination and her answer usually is pretty much the same. She feels she has been very fortunate that over the course of time in this industry, she has gotten to travel far and near. She would have to say of those travels, Egypt has been one of her most unique and exciting experiences. She too has a “bucket list” and number one on that list is an African Safari which she is going to fulfill this January.

    On one of Dee’s last vacations, she and her husband took a Tauck Tour, which took them out West to some of the National Parks , her reaction upon return from the trip, was she forgot just how beautiful the USA is.

    Dee is a true believer in training and keeping current within one’s industry. She has participated in many certification courses that have been offered by cruise lines and hotel companies.

    The most important thing to know about Dee is that she eats, sleeps and drinks travel. Always has and probably always will. She enjoys what she does, especially when interacting with customers either by phone or in person.

    Being in the travel industry is always such an exciting experience, there are always new destinations ,new ships and new clients.

  • Lisa Wagner, Cruise & Travel Expert

    I lived in Long Island for all of my life, but then I relocated to South Florida 6 years ago and just love it. I have been in the travel business for over 25 years. I started out as a receptionist with Liberty Travel, a position I held for 3 years. I then decided I wanted to sell world wide travel, so I went to school and after that I found my path in life. I love helping make peoples dreams come true, along with fantastic family memories. I have travelled to Hawaii several times, also Italy ( both of them are my favorites ), Alaska, Morocco, throughout Spain just to name a few.

    I continued my journey as a travel agent, and in April 2000, I worked for American Express for 15 years. I have been given the opportunity to travel to most countries world wide. And now have joined the staff at Boca Raton Travel & Cruises. I have such a passion for travel to any worldwide destinations.

    She is a Leisure and Cruise consultant and basically works with anything that floats. She prides herself in matching each and every person to the cruise of their dreams! Be it two people, a family reunion or celebration, a short getaway, or maybe a World Cruise, cruises are her specialty. Karen most recently sailed aboard the Crystal Symphony Canada/New England cruise from NY to Montreal. Crystal, being one of her favorites, is as wonderful as ever and then some.

    Even though cruising is near and dear to her heart, Karen also enjoys booking tours, Tauck being one of her favorites. She likes the way Tauck takes care of her clients, just as she does!

    Karen said that it is so difficult to select a favorite destination, but her heart goes between France and Italy as she just loves both! Don’t forget to ask Karen about some of the exotic destinations that have become so popular including Myanmar, Antarctica, Iceland and New Zealand.

    Karen has received several certifications from all the major cruise lines.
