ABOUT CRUISE geeks

Why Cruise Geeks?

Get to know us, and how we started.

Let’s be honest: the traditional travel agent persona has some baggage. Think outdated office spaces, hidden booking fees, pushing whatever pays the highest commission, and disappearing the second a flight gets delayed.

We hated that model, so we built something completely different.

At Cruise Geeks, we do business with total transparency, real-life experience, and a deep passion for the seas.

Born and raised in Central Florida, Shawn grew up on Florida’s beaches but hadn’t experienced a cruise until Whitney introduced him to his very first ocean getaway on their honeymoon. Safe to say… it was all over after that!

That single trip sparked a lifelong passion. Today, our family lives and breathes cruise culture. While we gladly sail as a couple, nothing beats sharing the open water with family and friends. When we recommend an ocean view cabin, a ship layout, or a shore excursion, it’s because we’ve lived it, tested it, and loved it.

OWNERS & ADVISORS

Geek-Level Expertise Across Every Sea (and Shore)

If you know us, you know we started with a serious devotion to Royal Caribbean—from the heart of the ship to sailing with the “stars.” That deep expertise remains our bedrock, and we know how to unlock the absolute best value on the seas.

But as “Geeks,” our curiosity didn’t stop there. Over the years, we expanded our knowledge across the entire industry. As a fully accredited agency connected to thousands of global travel partners, we match you with the exact ship, cruise line, or land resort that fits your style—whether you’re a first-time sailor or a seasoned cruiser.

No mystery fees, no high-pressure sales tactics, and no pushing quotas. We treat your vacation time and budget like our own.

“We don’t just book trips—we engineer stress-free, unforgettable experiences from the moment you leave your front door to the second you return. See you on the seas!” — Shawn & Whitney
