Marina Swann — Luxury Cruise Travel Advisor for Travelers 50+

I’m Marina Swann, founder of Cygnus Travel and a luxury & premium cruise travel advisor specializing in travelers aged 50+.

I help active, curious travelers across the United States plan premium and luxury cruises with confidence—through expert guidance, personalized planning, and high-touch concierge service. My clients want enriching destinations, comfort, and ease without the stress or guesswork of booking on their own.

Why Work With Marina Swann & Cygnus Travel

Booking a cruise online can look simple—but choosing the right cruise line, ship, itinerary, and cabin makes all the difference.

I don’t just book cruises. I strategically match travelers to the cruise experience that fits how they travel, helping them avoid common (and costly) mistakes while elevating the entire journey.

My concierge-style cruise planning includes:

  • Personalized cruise consultation and matching

  • Expert ship and cabin selection

  • Visa and documentation guidance

  • Loyalty program optimization

  • Packing and preparation support

  • Pre- and post-cruise hotel and activity planning

  • Specialty shore excursion guidance

  • Celebration and milestone cruise planning

  • Ongoing support before, during, and after your cruise

If something unexpected happens, you’re not calling a hotline—you’re calling me.

My Travel Perspective

Born and raised in Russia, I have lived on three continents and traveled extensively throughout Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas. As a former competitive swimmer, I’ve always been drawn to the water—a passion that naturally led me to cruising and to exploring some of the world’s most beautiful coastlines and seas.

This firsthand travel experience allows me to guide my clients with real-world insight, not generic recommendations.
