Our story
Cannon Expeditions opened in 2015 — a Virtuoso-affiliated independent travel practice built on the premise that good trips come from advisors who've been there, ask better questions than a booking site knows to ask, and pick up the phone when things go sideways on day six.
Independent by design. Deliberate by design. Absurdly thorough by design. Three advisors, one dog, one office, and a client list that grows mostly by referral.
We've made our practice out of asking better questions than a booking site knows to ask. Do you sleep late? Are you afraid of small boats? Would you rather drive yourself or meet a guide? The answers end up mattering more than the destination.
Ireland since the beginning (that's where we go). Cruises since year two. Custom anywhere-you-want since we figured out how not to say yes to everything. We work through Virtuoso and a short list of trusted DMCs around the world who return our calls.

What we believe
Every itinerary has a shape. Beginning, middle, end. The best trips have good pacing.
We tell you about hotels we've stayed in. If we haven't, we'll tell you that too.
The list-topping attraction is rarely the memory. It's the bakery on the walk back.
We hope nothing goes wrong. We plan for what happens if it does.
Three nights in one place beats one night in three, almost every time.
