Shauna Craib
Travel has always been my passion, and I have been fortunate to explore more than 35 countries around the world—and counting. My lifelong goal is to visit every country on the planet, experiencing the unique cultures, people, and traditions that make each destination special.
Born and raised in Jamaica, I have a deep appreciation for vibrant cultures and unforgettable experiences. While Jamaica will always hold a special place in my heart, Mykonos, Greece, and Dubai, UAE, are tied as my favorite and most memorable destinations.
As a travel advisor, I specialize in Disney vacations, destination weddings, and group travel planning. I love helping clients create seamless, stress-free travel experiences and unforgettable memories, whether they are celebrating a special occasion or embarking on the vacation of a lifetime.

Travel has always been more than just a passion for me—it's a way to experience new cultures, create lasting memories, and discover the incredible diversity our world has to offer. I have been fortunate to travel throughout the United States, Canada, and internationally, with some of my favorite destinations being the breathtaking beauty of Alaska, the modern luxury of Dubai, and the unforgettable adventure of historic Route 66.
I specialize in cruises, group travel, and custom-designed itineraries, creating personalized vacations that reflect each client's unique interests, travel style, and budget. Whether you're planning a family cruise, a group getaway, a bucket-list adventure, or a once-in-a-lifetime journey, I take the time to understand what matters most to you and turn your travel dreams into reality.
