Our Story

We plan it.
You live it.

Hi — we're MacKenzie and Betty. Gilt & Sea was born from our own love of getting away together and realizing most couples just need someone to make the planning feel easy and exciting, not exhausting.

We specialize exclusively in Royal Caribbean, Norwegian Cruise Line, and Virgin Voyages — because we've actually sailed them. When we recommend a sailing, a cabin category, or a port stop, it's because we've been there.

Think of us as the best friends who happen to know everything about cruises. We're not a call center. We're a couple, just like you.

Why Us

Built for the two of you

⚓

Curated for Couples

Every recommendation is filtered through one question: is this the right fit for two people who want to reconnect? No family-cruise crowd control here.

🧭

We've Sailed It Ourselves

When we say a cabin is worth the upgrade or a port is worth skipping the excursion for — that's firsthand experience talking, not a brochure.

✦

We Handle the Details

From picking the right sailing to the right stateroom, we take the overwhelm off your plate. You just have to pack.
