Our journey began in 1977 when Friendship Tours / The Ship Shop was founded by Lois Isaacson, affectionately nicknamed “Hi-Lo.” For “Hi-Lo,” when a life altering journey began as a young adult on a trip through Europe with her Girl Scout troop. Not only did she discover her love for travel, but developed life-long friendships through a shared travel experience.
