P

lanning a vacation has just become a lot easier for families in Destin. 

With the desire and expertise to help their community fi nd the right 

vacation, local entrepreneur Princy Bucher has opened a new Expedia 

CruiseShipCenters franchise at 4424-B2 Commons Drive East. Expedia 

CruiseShipCenters – part of the Expedia group family of brands – offers 

cruise vacations and much more.

Originally from Ohio, the Bucher’s moved to Destin last year for the 

opportunity to open an Expedia CruiseShipCenter. Having been a business 

owner since 1990, Princy has operated a variety of businesses and is not 

new to the Travel Business. After pursuing her masters at Wright State 

University she worked as a business fi nancial  analyst with a bank.  She then 

decided to start her own business with her husband building drive-thru 

businesses, but her true passion is travel and when she got an opportunity 

to start a travel franchise in Ohio she could not resist. Today she is focused 

only on the Expedia CruiseShipCenters in Destin and loves to make 

vacation dreams come true for all her clients and the community.
