About Mariann:

I’m Mariann, founder of CTC Travel, and my deep love for the ocean runs through everything I do. Growing up spending summers in the ocean with my brother and nephew taught me early on that the sea has a powerful way of bringing people together.
 
My own travel story truly began on my very first cruise—a shipboard family wedding where I even caught the bouquet. Since that unforgettable milestone, I've been hooked on the cruising lifestyle, having sailed on six Carnival cruises and now expanding my expertise with an upcoming Royal Caribbean sailing. Books used to be my ultimate escape to explore the world, but today, I don't just read about adventures—I live them, plan them, and help others do the exact same.
 
When you book with CTC Travel, you are getting an advisor who brings genuine heart, real-life experience, and dedicated care to every itinerary. I treat your vacation with the same meticulous attention I give my own, focusing on clear, stress-free planning to match you with the perfect ship, cabin, and itinerary.
 
I am especially passionate about group travel and family milestones like birthdays and reunions, using my expertise to seamlessly coordinate multiple cabins and communication. Whether you are planning a solo getaway or a massive family celebration, I am here to make travel simple, joyful, and filled with ocean magic.
