Boutique Cruise Planning

Your next cruise, planned by someone who actually gets it.

You've got a job, kids, and a group chat full of "we should totally cruise together." I handle the cabins, the dining, the drink math, and the fine print — so you just show up and sail.

The real thing

No stock photos here.

Actual ships, actual trips, actual towel animals. This is what your cruise looks like.

Yes, the towel animals really do wear sunglasses. 😎
Why work with a specialist

Because "just book it yourself" costs you more than it saves.

Cabin categories, drink package math, dining times, group perks — it's a lot to untangle alone. I already know the shortcuts.

Insider Pricing

Access to group rates, cabin holds, and perks that don't show up on the public booking sites.

One Text Away

No hold music, no discovery calls you don't have time for — just text me and I'll handle it.

Costs You Nothing

My planning fee comes from the cruise line, not your wallet. Same fare, way less stress.

How it works

Four steps. Zero spreadsheets on your end.

1

Tell me your trip

Quick form — who's going, when, and your vibe.

2

Get real options

2–3 cruise picks made for YOUR family, in 48 hours.

3

Book your way

By text, online, or phone — I handle the rest, deposits included.

4

Sail happy

Packing lists, port tips, and a bon voyage surprise.

Real clients, real trips

Don't take my word for it. 😎

Kristin did a great job handling our family cruise of over 30 people. Ran all the numbers, helped us decide what rooms would be best for each family and their price point — and even got us a couple of extras. Highly recommend!

Kristin is a super planner and I would definitely recommend her services. She makes sure no page is left unturned. Thank you for booking our cruise!

Kristin helped me book all aspects of my trip to Japan and made my travel very easy. Would definitely book through Sun of a Beach again, especially for another international trip.

Planning a group cruise? This is your favorite part.

8+ cabins unlocks group pricing, onboard perks, and sometimes deep discounts for the group leader. Perfect for soccer families, milestone birthdays, or "let's finally do this" reunions.

Quick answers

The questions everyone asks first

Does using a travel advisor cost me extra?
Nope — my planning is free to you. The cruise line pays me, so you get the same fare (often with extra perks) plus a human who handles everything when plans change.
Where are you located?
I'm based in Lakeland, Florida — right in the heart of Central Florida, an easy drive from Port Canaveral and Tampa's cruise port. I work with families across the U.S. by text, email, and phone.
What if something goes wrong on my trip?
That's exactly when you'll be glad you booked with me. One message and I'm on it — no hold music, no phone trees, no fighting with a website at midnight.
