About Above The Crowds Travel
Above The Crowds Travel is a privately owned business operating under the principle that each and every client should be given personalized treatment. We pride ourselves on matching the trip to the person according to the needs and interests of everyone involved, rather than recommending cookie cutter plans for trips.
Above the Crowds is a member of Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), the world’s largest cruise association which is dedicated to the promotion and growth of the cruise industry. CLIA is composed of 24 of the major cruise lines serving North America.
Linda Murfin, CTC, ACC, is owner and manager of Above The Crowds Travel and been a travel agent for over 40 years and has traveled extensively, including travel to many of the places YOU want to go!

(For more on Linda, see her profile at www.LinkedIn.com or on Facebook.com).
Constantly striving to add to her knowledge of travel to different parts of the world, owner/manager Linda Murfin has completed many specialization courses, including Disney Destinations, South Africa, Costa Rica, Las Vegas, Hawaii, Apple Vacations, Golf Travel, Puerto Rico, Wynn Las Vegas and China, to name a few. She even has a Master’s degree from the College of Disney Knowledge and loves planning family trips to both Disney World and Disneyland. From cruises to Hawaii to escorted tours or exploring Europe on your own, we’ll help you make personalized plans for a perfect trip.
“With travel tips, travel planning advice, travel stories from my round-the-world adventures, I help plan once-in-a-life-time experiences for couples or groups. From weekend getaways to extended adventures, I’m up for the challenge! In my private life I am the grandmother of ten, wife of venture capitalist, Don, and keeper of a beautiful Papillon named Poppy and a black cat named Charlotte. I love to play golf and be in the outdoors. One of our favorite things to do is to create a wonderful meal then pair it with a bottle of wine from our cellar.” —Linda Murfin, CTC, ACC

In addition to holding the Specialty Destination certificates we have cruised on 15 different cruise lines to such places as the eastern and western Caribbean, the Mediterranean, Hawaii, Mexico and the canals of France. We also know a thing or two about touring wineries around the world and can help you get appointments at the places you didn’t think were accessible to you!
