Experience the unparalleled beauty of the Maldives

Marina Swann – Your Cruise Travel Expert

Hello! I’m Marina Swann, the owner of Cygnus Travel and a dedicated travel advisor specializing in cruises for active travelers aged 50 and over. With a passion for adventure, culture, history, and exploration, I help my clients experience the world’s most breathtaking destinations with ease and comfort, without the stress of planning.

I was born and raised in Russia and have lived on three continents, traveling extensively throughout Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the Americas. As a former competitive swimmer, I’ve always felt at home in the water. That love for the ocean naturally led me to cruising, where I’ve also pursued my passion for finding the world’s best snorkeling spots, from the Red Sea and the Maldives to the crystal-clear waters of Cozumel and Roatán.

Why Cruises?

Cruises are perfect for exploring destinations like Alaska, where you can see glaciers up close, or Hawaii, with easy island-hopping. They also take you to remote locations like Antarctica or the Arctic, offering breathtaking landscapes you can’t easily reach by other means. For a more intimate experience, river cruises let you explore cities and towns along iconic rivers like the Danube or Amazon, with the convenience of unpacking just once.Cruising offers a seamless, all-inclusive experience, with dining, entertainment, and excursions included. It can be up to 30% more cost-effective than land-based travel, with some lines offering free or reduced airfare and transfers.

What I Offer

That’s why I founded a Facebook group, where travelers can share insights, experiences, and inspiration for future voyages.Where do you dream of cruising next?
