About Cruise Planners WaveLand Travel

Anyone can book a trip. We plan the ones you'll never forget.


There's a difference between an expensive trip and an extraordinary one. Expensive is just a number on a receipt. Extraordinary is standing on a volcanic shoreline in the Galápagos, surrounded by wildlife that has never learned to fear humans, wondering who's really the visitor - and realizing no price tag could ever capture what you're feeling.


My love of travel started on a high school trip across Spain, a country I fell so deeply in love with that I learned the language fluently...and eventually lived in Honduras for a month to immerse myself further. That spark became a career. I spent years at Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises supporting the planning and service experience for thousands of guests annually, learning what separates a good trip from one people talk about for the rest of their lives.


I've since taken that insider knowledge and built WaveLand Travel around one simple promise: I obsess over every detail so your only job is to show up and be amazed. From planning my mom's 70th birthday trip (a British Isles and Ireland cruise) and surprising her before she embarked in Amsterdam, watching her face as she realized what was happening, to swimming with sea lions in the Galápagos, I've experienced firsthand what travel does to the human spirit. It changes you. It expands you.


Based in Chicago. Fluent in Spanish. Passionate about food, culture, and the kind of travel that stays with you long after you've unpacked.


An extraordinary vacation is measured in memories. I invite you to journey with us.

Testimonials

Chris was AMAZING!! We knew which cruise we wanted and he facilitated all of the hard work in finding us the perfect rooms for our family of five. We got two rooms next to each other in the middle of the ship, and they were perfect! We were part of a larger party of 16 sailing for my dad’s 80th, and he got us all into the same dining time with two tables of 8 next to one another. It was perfect! The cruise was outstanding and we cannot wait to go on another one! - Amy K.
Chris did a fantastic job planning all the elements of our vacation, from hotels and transfers to the cruise and excursions. He had a depth of knowledge and the ability to understand and share the best ways to enjoy and explore during our trip. We will definitely call him again!
Chris was very engaging, responsive and accommodating. He provided excellent customer service with our planning from start to finish. I would highly recommend Cruise Planners. - Carolyn W.
Great vacation experience. We covered a lot of Amsterdam prior to sailing, followed by a fun cruise on Celebrity through the British Isles! Excellent planning of an action packed trip at the beginning of peak of travel season! Everything went as planned, enhancing the enjoyment!
Amazing trip with constant communication throughout the whole time planning and trip. Highly recommended!
The absolute best experience ever. Chris went above and beyond to connect with us, get to know us, find our what our personal wants and needs are for the trip and offered some great trip options that were available. He sent us over excursion options and answered all our questions and concerns. On top of that, any changes or alterations to our trip was quickly and loudly communicated. With COVID restrictions, he made sure we had all the information necessary to ensure safe entry/departure from both ends. The trip itself was PHENOMENAL and will be booking again in the future with Chris.
