Meet your travel advisor

Hi, I’m Chrystal!

Cruise lover, memory-maker, and the friendly face behind Salty Sand Travel.

A little about me

I want planning your trip to feel fun, too.

I know how quickly cruise planning can turn into too many browser tabs, confusing cabin choices, and a whole lot of questions. That is where I come in.

I'm a wife, mom, grandmother, and lifelong memory-maker, so I understand that a vacation is about much more than a ship or destination. It is time together—and every family, couple, and group enjoys that time differently.

I started Salty Sand Travel so you would have a real person to talk to, laugh with, and lean on from the first daydream until you are safely back home. My goal is simple: less stress, more excitement, and plenty of memories worth keeping.

The water is my happy place—and I love helping you find yours.

Trips close to my heart

Planning made personal.

I especially love helping travelers who want a real person to listen, guide them through the choices, and care about the details.
