Still Wondering What Travel Expertise We Share With Our Clients?

Our Travel Specialties

Kind Words from Clients

- Douglas Stacey 

I was a little worried about cruising in the middle of winter, but she provided packing lists and tips for staying warm as well as recommended tours to see the beautiful landscape and even whales. The trip was a bucket list dream come true! 

"We did a Norway Northern Lights cruise in January and had Janet plan the whole trip."

- Belinda Govatos 

Janet found me an amazing solo rate, booked all the details and supported me on the trip. It was like I was traveling with a friend if I needed her even though she was 1000s of miles away. I booked a group trip with Salty Soul for Svalbard next summer.

"I always wanted to go to Antarctica but was a little nervous because I travel alone."

- Karen Clegg

Everything was perfect from start to finish. She made sure we were comfortable with the whole process and checked in with us after our trip. We will definitely use Salty Soul again.

"Janet worked with us on our first expedition cruise to Alaska."
