Rosenlund Travel Services

General information

Rosenlund Travel Is Still Going Strong! Rosenlund Travel Service Inc. is a full-service travel agency conveniently located at 298 Boston Turnpike (RT 9 Eastbound) Shrewsbury, Massachusetts. Founded by Axel M. Rosenlund, grandfather of the current agency operators, Rosenlund Travel has been arranging travel since 1912. Axel Rosenlund immigrated to Worcester, Massachusetts, from Gothenburg, Sweden, just after the turn of the century in the early 1900s. Axel became a banker, newspaper editor, and spokesman for the fast-growing Swedish-American population. It was an era of intense industrial expansion in Worcester, when companies such as Norton Company, American Steel and Wire Co., and Morgan Construction Company turned to Sweden's pool of skilled workers to meet their escalating labor demands. Axel became a steamship ticket agent for Swedish and Norwegian Lines and for Cunard Lines in 1912 and went into the business of expediting the large movement of immigrants from Scandinavia to Worcester. In recent years, agents at Rosenlund would uncover documents penned by Axel in the teens, twenties, and thirties (1930s, that is). Even more exciting are the occasions when a client brings into our office a grandparent's treasured honeymoon document from early in the past century. We at Rosenlund Travel thank the Worcester community and our loyal clients from all over the world for sustaining our vigorous travel business activity for more than 91 years. Please contact us if you are looking for experienced travel arrangers with ASTA (American Society of Travel Agents) and CLIA (Cruise Lines International) designations. We have our Accredited Cruise Counselor and Master Cruise Counselor on staff, as well as nearly 100 years of combined travel experience in the industry. We have experienced many of the cruises and tours that we recommend, so we can speak to you with firsthand information, insight, and input. We arrange vacation travel, group travel, and business travel. Call us for your next cruise, tour, rail trip, safari, expedition, or just an air, car, or hotel reservation to visit the relatives. We are leading agents for Tauck World Discovery and TNT Vacations, as well as all tour operators of the USTOA (United States Tour Operators Association). We are leading agents for most cruise lines as well.
