Cruise Better!
Hi, I'm Stephanie, ECC certified cruise specialist and owner of Sea Day Travel, a boutique cruise agency based in St. Johns, Florida. Since 2018 I've been helping travelers plan unforgettable ocean, river, expedition, and luxury cruises — with personalized, concierge-level service and no booking fees.
I specialize in river cruises along the Rhine, Danube, and other iconic European waterways with lines like Viking, AmaWaterways, and Avalon. I also have deep expertise in luxury ocean cruising with Celebrity Cruises, Royal Caribbean, Silversea, Oceania, Regent, Seabourn, and more. From Caribbean sailings and Mediterranean voyages to Alaska expeditions and world cruises — I'll help you find the perfect fit.
What makes me different is the personal touch. When you work with me you get one dedicated advisor who knows you, knows the ships firsthand, and is available by phone, text, or email throughout the entire planning process — and while you're on board.
I'm a proud member of Travel Leaders Network, and active in both ASTA and CLIA. I hold specialist certifications across multiple cruise lines and destinations including Hawaii.
Based in Jacksonville, Florida and serving clients nationwide. Ready to start planning? Visit seadaytravel.com or reach out today for your free cruise consultation!

Europe Graduation Trip/Cruise 2022
Reviewed By Aunt El - Hamilton, OH | Traveled to Europe
I was very happy with the service provided by Stephanie. She booked a Mediterranean Cruise on Royal Caribbean's Wonder of the Seas, for myself, my niece & nephew, and my Mom, to celebrate my niece's high school graduation. Stephanie also booked the 4 of us on a land tour in Europe with Trafalgar Tours before boarding our cruise. We all had a great time on the cruise, and we loved the land tour as well! Stephanie was extremely easy to work with, responded to all emails quickly, and expertly answered all questions. I already have another cruise booked with Stephanie for my husband and I next year!

Client Testimonials
Celebrity Retreat Cruises
Stephanie is truly amazing! Whether we have a cruise booked, on a cruise or are looking at future ones I know I can come to her with a question. We sail exclusively on Celebrity and she knows the cabin types like the back of her hand. Stephanie, thank you for always going above and beyond to make out trips amazing.
Daniel S.
Greek Isles Cruise
Wow! We have only cruised once and it was over 20 years ago. To say we were nervous about booking another cruise, in Europe no less, is an understatement. Stephanie was there to answer all of our questions when we were considering booking a cruise on Virgin Voyages. She booked our cruise, got us an A+ room location on the ship and booked our hotel for a two day beach resort after the cruise. Most importantly, she communicated to us throughout the process with reminders of passport readiness, reservation openings, show bookings and any other general deadlines we needed to be aware of. I always felt that if I had a question or a problem, the solution was a single phone call or email away. And to top it off, the experience on Virgin was so fantastic we are getting ready to book our next cruise through Stephanie!
