At Cruise Holidays land & Sea, we take the time to learn about you so we can match you to the right cruise line, ship, resort or custom tour.
Our favorite specialty – RIVER CRUISING. Smaller intimate ships, VIP treatment, history, culture, wine, castles, fun with the locals, amazing cuisine. What more could you ask for?

Dear Travelers:
I took my first cruise in 1987 on the Big Red Boat to Nassau, and I was sooo hooked on cruising ….and the idea of learning about different people and cultures…and seeing our beautiful world. 30+ cruises later, I have my husband and our 3 daughters hooked on cruising and travel! And together we’ve explored many places – with our family, our friends…and made MANY new friends along the way!
I specialize in luxury, personal vacations and concierge travel services for individuals and families, as well as romantic getaways including weddings and honeymoons. I enjoy working with each of you to customize your vacation to your needs. In our initial discussion I take the time to get to know YOU – your needs, your wants – and help you visualize your dreams! I travel frequently to experience cruise ships and luxury resorts firsthand. Plus, I can add VALUE in addition to personal knowledge to enhance your travel dollars. Want a hotel in Barcelona, comfortable but in your price range and near the action of Las Ramblas? – I know that, too.
My guests are out enjoying…
- River cruises

- Experiencing new cultures through travel
- Celebrating one of life’s milestones – birthday, anniversaries, and graduations!

- & dream, bucket-list custom tours!
For a vacation most people only dream about, call me at 919-747-9996. I look forward to “meeting” you…..and helping you MAKE MEMORIES! Oh and by the way, by the time I’m done with you….you’ll be hooked on cruising and travel, too!

Jareen Lyda
Travel Specialist
I fell in love with travel as a child while on extended road trips with my family. I was able to take my first trip to Europe at the age of 18 on a summer volunteer project. I attended Northwest School of Travel and worked in the industry for several years before taking my professional life in another direction. Realizing I loved to plan my family vacations almost as much as taking them, I returned to the travel business in 2006 joining Cruise Holidays. I have cruised extensively from the US including Mexico and Europe. I specialize in Alaska, Hawaii and Europe river cruises.
