Why Work With Stephanie at
Sea Day Travel?
Cruise planning is easy to make complicated. There are endless ships, itineraries, cabin categories, promotions and opinions, and the most expensive option is not always the right one.
I help experienced cruisers sort through those choices and make smarter cruise decisions based on what actually matters to them. That may mean choosing between cruise lines, comparing ships or itineraries, deciding whether a suite is worth the upgrade, or recognizing when paying more will not meaningfully improve the trip.
Sea Day Travel is a boutique, cruise first business. My strongest areas of focus are Celebrity Cruises, Alaska cruises and river cruising, with additional expertise in premium, suite, luxury and small ship experiences.
My job is not to sell you just any cruise. It is to help you choose the right one.
Why Travelers Work With Me
I Help You Make Better Cruise Decisions
Cruise planning is not only about finding a ship and a price. I help you compare the details that can change the experience, including itineraries, ships, cabin categories, suites, cruise lines and what is actually worth paying more for.
I ask questions first so I can understand how you like to travel and what matters most to you. The goal is not simply to book a cruise. It is to choose the right cruise for you.
You Work Directly With Me
Sea Day Travel is a boutique business, so you are not handed off to a call center or random customer service representative. I personally work with my clients throughout the planning and booking process.
I also maintain relationships with cruise lines and travel industry partners, which can be especially valuable when questions, changes or problems come up before or during a trip.
I Bring Cruise-Specific Knowledge
Cruising is the primary focus of my business. My strongest areas of expertise are Celebrity Cruises, Alaska cruises and river cruising, along with premium, suite, luxury and small ship experiences.
I combine professional training, cruise line relationships, client planning experience and firsthand travel when applicable to help you understand the differences between your options and make a more confident decision.
I'm Certified
I’m a CLIA Elite Cruise Counsellor (ECC) and have completed advanced specialist training with many of the cruise lines I work with most often.
My strongest areas of focus are Celebrity Cruises, river cruising, Alaska cruises, premium and suite cruising, and luxury and small ship experiences.
I also hold specialist training with leading river cruise lines, including Viking, AmaWaterways and Avalon Waterways, along with additional cruise line certifications that help me stay current on the ships, staterooms, itineraries and onboard experiences I recommend.
Certifications are important, but they are only one part of how I help. I combine ongoing training with real cruise planning experience, supplier relationships, firsthand travel when applicable, and what I learn from helping clients make these decisions every day.
My goal is not to steer you toward one cruise line. It is to help you understand your options, compare the tradeoffs and choose the cruise that fits you best.
About Me:
Meet Stephanie
I’m Stephanie Simmons, owner of Sea Day Travel. I grew up in Pennsylvania, came to Florida to attend Florida State University, and made Florida home. I’m also a mom of two and someone who genuinely loves the details that make one cruise a much better fit than another.
I took my first cruise in 2012 and quickly understood why cruising could become such an important way to travel. Sea Day Travel grew from that interest and has been helping travelers plan cruises since 2018.
Today, my business is intentionally cruise focused. I work primarily with travelers planning Celebrity Cruises, Alaska cruises and river cruises, along with premium, suite, luxury and small ship experiences.
What I enjoy most is helping travelers make the decisions that are not always obvious from a cruise line website: which ship fits better, which itinerary is worth choosing, whether a cabin or suite upgrade makes sense, and when paying more really will improve the experience.
If you’re still comparing your options, you can start with Plan My Cruise.
