GDS

Relationships Matter

We believe in a relationship-driven approach by partnering with exceptional brands and by helping them establish and expand their international footprint.

 

A LEGACY OF SUCCESS

Founded as a collective partnership, GDS pioneered the concept of turn key global, regional and country level representation and distribution solutions. Servicing the ocean and river cruise industries, GDS Partners have collectively generated over $5 billion in sales since 1990.

We believe our success is due to the fact that we have been able to steadfastly adhere to our “one-team, one-dream” principles over many years and over many economic, political and geographic cycles.
