ABOUT

SALTWATER TRAVEL COMPANY

Lori Crittenden

HI THERE!

I´M LORI
AND I´M SO GLAD YOU´RE HERE

Thoughtful Travel Planning for Life’s Most Meaningful Moments

Hi, I’m Lori—founder of Saltwater Travel Company, romance travel specialist, and your partner in planning unforgettable journeys designed around connection, celebration, and ease.

For the past three years, I’ve worked as a professional travel advisor helping couples and families plan honeymoons, destination weddings, group travel, and bucket‑list experiences—especially European Christmas markets. Before that, I spent 15 years running my own wedding planning business, where I learned firsthand how much care, precision, and trust go into planning once‑in‑a‑lifetime moments.

That combination is at the heart of how I serve my clients today.

From Weddings to Travel—A Natural Next Chapter

As I entered a new phase of life, my priorities shifted. Travel became more than a getaway—it became a way to reconnect, celebrate milestones, and create lasting memories with the people I love most. I realized I wanted to take everything I knew about planning meaningful events and apply it to travel.

Today, I help couples and busy professionals turn big travel dreams into seamless, well‑planned experiences—without the overwhelm of researching, comparing, and second‑guessing every decision.

Who I Work With

We specialize in working with:

  • Couples planning honeymoons and romantic getaways

  • Engaged couples organizing destination weddings

  • Busy professionals who value their time

  • Empty nesters ready to invest in experiences over things

 

Our clients are willing to invest thoughtfully in their vacations and appreciate personalized service, expert guidance, and peace of mind. If you’re simply price‑shopping, we may not be the best fit—and that’s okay. Our focus is on value, experience, and care, not just cost.

Why Romance Travel & Europe Hold My Heart

There’s nothing we love more than helping couples find their perfect resort, destination, or bucket‑list location—whether that’s an adults‑only all‑inclusive, a stunning European city, or a festive river cruise through Europe’s Christmas markets.

Christmas markets, in particular, feel truly magical to me. The lights, the traditions, the food, the centuries‑old town squares—it’s an experience we believe everyone should have at least once, and we love helping clients experience it in a way that feels effortless and immersive.

A Boutique, Personalized Planning Experience

Saltwater Travel Company is intentionally boutique. We create custom vacations tailored to your travel style, goals, and budget—whether it is 50th birthday celebration or romantic bucket list location, we will handle every travel detail.

What you can expect when working with us:

  • Customized itineraries designed around you

  • Honest guidance and curated recommendations

  • Phone, video, and email planning support

  • Strong supplier relationships that add value to your trip

  • Ongoing support before, during, and after you travel

 

We do not charge planning fees because our business model is built on long‑term client relationships and repeat travel.

A Little About Lori

I grew up in Roseville, California and now call Lincoln home. I love the small‑town charm of both communities and have enjoyed watching them grow into places I’m proud to live and work.

My husband and I love traveling together—and with friends and family—both close to home and around the world. We typically travel three to four times a year, which allows me to stay current, connected, and inspired when planning for my clients.

Let’s Plan Something Meaningful

Nice words that
have been said about us

Couples travel

Our trip to Europe was absolutely seamless, thanks to Lori. From the moment we shared our ideas, she truly listened and crafted an itinerary that perfectly matched our preferences. Every detail was impeccably planned—boutique hotels with stunning views and private tours that avoided the crowds.

Her expertise was invaluable. She recommended hidden gems we would have never discovered on our own. 
She was available during our trip for any last-minute adjustments which gave us peace of mind.

Traveling with her guidance turned what could have been a stressful planning process into an exciting, effortless experience. If you're looking for a truly personalized and unforgettable journey, this is the travel expert to trust!
