About Me

My Mission

Hi, I’m Kevin, and I’m passionate about helping people travel smarter.

With over 10 years of experience in data analytics and visualization, I’ve built my career around turning data into meaningful insights. I love finding patterns, uncovering trends, and using numbers to make better decisions—especially when it comes to saving money.

Cruising has become one of my family’s favorite ways to travel. My wife, kids, and I love exploring new destinations, enjoying everything life onboard has to offer, and creating memories together. Just as much as the vacation itself, I enjoy researching itineraries, comparing prices, and making sure we’re getting the best possible value.

As I planned more cruises, I kept asking the same questions:

  • When is the best time to book a cruise?
  • Is today’s price actually a good deal?
  • Do cruise prices usually go down before sailing?
  • Which itineraries offer the best value?

I couldn’t find a website that tracked cruise prices over time and provided clear, unbiased answers, so I decided to build one myself.

Today, The Cruise Tracker combines my passion for data with my love of cruising to help travelers make informed booking decisions using real historical pricing—not marketing hype.

I’m also a proud member of the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) and a TRUE Certified Travel Advisor, allowing me to help clients book cruises with many of the world’s leading cruise lines. If you’d like assistance planning your next cruise, I’d be honored to help.

Thank you for visiting The Cruise Tracker. Whether you’re using the site to research prices or you’re ready to book your next vacation, I hope it helps you travel with confidence and get the best value possible.

Happy cruising!
