EXPEDIA CRUISES: Set Sail to your Dream Destination
Story by Sarah Gordon Photos by Sandra Steier
Eric Tan and his wife, Penny Lim, are cruise enthusiasts; they have taken 186 voyages, with another planned later this year. Their combined knowledge is invaluable for Expedia Cruises’ clients who book ocean adventures and land holidays through the Kerrisdale storefront.
Expedia Cruises represents all cruise lines but focuses on luxury lines such as Oceania Cruises, which offers ‘the finest cuisine at sea,’ another of the couple’s passions.
Eric is Expedia Cruises Kerrisdale’s director of communications and incentives, a fancy title he created. Penny is one of the cruise consultants who works remotely. She works alongside their business partner, Christine Macdougall, who runs the franchise with manager Gayle Tan (no relation to Eric).
The couple moved from Winnipeg to Vancouver in 1984. They settled in Kerrisdale, where they still live. Eric says, “Those were exciting times as we were 26 and looking forward to our new life on the West Coast.”
Eric worked in pharmaceutical sales while Penny pursued her dream of becoming a travel agent. She was employed at Jordan and Sons travel agency until an opportunity knocked in 1987. Harvey White, former Kerrisdale Royal Bank manager, approached them to become partners in a CruiseShipCenters franchise.
6 September 1 - November 15, 2023 KerrisdaleInsider.com
“It was a risk being the first cruise-only agency in Canada before cruising was cool. It was a time when cruising was for the newlywed and nearly dead.”
1996 was a pivotal year for the business. A young webmaster named Paul Drummond approached CruiseShipCenters Kerrisdale to create one of the first travel websites that focused on the Alaska cruise market.
“These were the early days of the internet, and we didn’t have a clue about websites. We decided to give it a try to see what would happen,” says Eric.
Their business exploded with an online presence.
“We were getting top sales awards due to our fast and incredible success. In 2000, we sold the retail part of our business, now with the fourth owner, Christine, to focus on our growing online business.”
Expedia Inc. acquired CruiseShipCenters in 2004 and changed the name to Expedia Cruises. Shortly after, they also purchased Eric’s online agency and brought Penny and Eric as employees to the corporate head office for 16 years.
When COVID-19 arrived in 2020, their department closed. “The silver lining was Expedia kindly let me take my team of nine salaried and 15 independent agents to Kerrisdale, where we joined forces with Christine’s staff. We were back home where we had begun 33 years ago. Stronger together, we have persevered for the past three years and in May celebrated 36 years in this business perfectly positioned in Kerrisdale village,” says Eric.
At one point, 13 travel agencies were competing in Kerrisdale. Today only two fullservice travel agencies remain, and another handles inbound travel from Asia.
“High lease rates forced some travel agencies to close over the years, and other independent agencies closed due to owners retiring or moving out of the community.”
7 KerrisdaleInsider.com September 1 - November 15, 2023
“With pent-up demand to travel, June 2023 was the highest-producing month in the history of the business!”
Eric says, “COVID hurt, but we are back with a vengeance. There were three hundred franchises before the pandemic and 250 afterwards. The people who hung on are reaping the rewards as cruising is more popular than ever.”
Eric indicates 100 new ships are coming in the next five to seven years. He says, “River, ocean and expedition ships are being delivered like babies.” Safe travel protocols have carried over onboard ships thanks to lessons learned during the pandemic.
Boomers
One of Eric’s top recommendations is the Caribbean. He says, “New ports are opening, and with the region’s warm weather and beaches, it can’t be beat. Europe is also very popular. I feel it’s the best place to cruise due to its diversity in cultures, history, and cuisines.”
He notes, “Asia and South
America are also becoming more popular as people expand their horizons. Our customers are seeking longer and more exotic trips.”
Eric and Penny are always ready for their next adventure. They will set off to Singapore on a 20-day cruise from Dubai in December. They recently returned from a cruise through the Great Lakes with two couples they met on a Crystal Cruise in 1993; they have travelled together annually, except during the height of the pandemic.
“Penny and I usually go with friends or family to create memories and have even better experiences. It’s a great way to see the world and make friends.”
We invite you to come into the Kerrisdale office to begin the fun of planning your travels with our highly knowledgeable team,” says Eric.

SPARKS ACADEMY:
Igniting Curiosity, Inspiring Excellence
Story by Sarah Gordon Photos
submitted
Sparks Academy is a unique learning centre where students explore the digital frontier and gain a deep understanding of how science and technology shape our lives. It opened in Kerrisdale in 2018 and moved in 2020 to its present location on East Boulevard.
This cutting-edge institution is at the forefront of science and technology education. Children and teenagers aged 3 to 16 are provided with a systematic and interactive learning experience.
Sparks Academy’s pioneering STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education system cultivates a multidisciplinary approach that encourages inquisitive minds and innovative thinking. Educators help develop essential skills and
equip students with tools to thrive in an everevolving world through hands-on experiences and personalized attention.
Co-founder and CEO Lulu Wang says, “We encourage students to think outside the box and bring innovative solutions to issues that others may not have thought of, helping solve twenty-first-century problems.”
12 September 1 - November 15, 2023 KerrisdaleInsider.com
A project-based approach to learning helps develop children’s critical thinking skills and asks them to solve complex puzzles and problems.
Lulu says, “With a focus on holistic development, we strive to instill a lifelong love for learning, foster a growth mindset, and cultivate essential skills. Through our engaging and stimulating environment, we aim to ignite curiosity within each student and fuel their thirst for knowledge.”
Small classes reflect a commitment to quality education, allowing personalized attention and tailored learning experiences. The dedicated team of instructors is passionate about guiding students on their educational journey by providing mentorship and support every step of the way.
“We believe in the power of hands-on learning. Our dynamic curriculum and project-based approach empowers students to develop their investigative skills, creative prowess through our STEAM education system, technological expertise, collaborative abilities, and problemsolving capabilities. We nurture their ability to think critically, adapt to challenges, and apply knowledge in real-world contexts,” says Lulu.
Enrichment programs are offered during the fall semester (September to December), winter semester (January to March) and spring semester (April to June). Programs include Robotics and Coding, Creative Engineering and MindSpark Science.
13 KerrisdaleInsider.com September 1 - November 15, 2023
“Collaborating and working with others is a necessity of life. We build children’s confidence in team environments to help them succeed in the future.”
Twenty professional educators, engineers and staff work at Sparks Academy. In addition, licensed ECE teachers run the Early Years program.
In addition, camps for ages five and up are scheduled during winter, spring, and summer breaks and on professional development days. Groups are kept small, with a ratio of one educator to five students.
Participants in this summer’s five-day Global Citizen camp discovered the impacts of waste and garbage on our planet. Through engaging activities using STEAM, they delved into reusing, reducing, recycling, and upcycling, empowering students to apply these principles. Hands-on projects, group discussions and creative arts provided an interactive platform for young learners to become environmentally conscious and make a positive impact on Earth.
The Tinker Planet half-day Early Years programs are offered in the morning (9:30 to 12:00) and afternoon (12:30 to 3:00).
Tutoring services are available for math, science, and coding. Competition clubs include robotics and coding, math, and an innovators club. Special events such as movie night, science night and robotics night offer fun outside regular program hours.
One parent remarks, “Sparks is one of the best academies in Vancouver that teaches children from an innovative, hands-on, and professional perspective. My children always
look forward to going to classes and camps.”
Lulu is thrilled that Sparks has been well received and has plans to establish franchises in the future. She lives in the area and feels the community is an excellent fit with its strong sense of community, active residents, and community organizations.
“Kerrisdale is known for its diverse demographic, which benefits an educational institution. Diversity enriches the learning environment by exposing students to different cultures, perspectives, and experiences. It promotes inclusivity and fosters a broader understanding of the world, preparing students for a globalized society.”
“The opportunity to positively impact students' lives is one of the most rewarding aspects of running Sparks Academy. Seeing students grow, learn, and succeed is incredibly fulfilling. It’s satisfying to witness their transformation and development as they gain knowledge, skills, and confidence,” Lulu says.
