About
Meet Kristen Tschiniak
Hi, I’m Kristen, the founder of Passageo Travel. With a degree in Maritime Transportation & Navigation and years of experience sailing on ships around the world—from oil rigs to cruise liners—I bring a unique perspective to travel planning. My passion for adventure and my love for the sea have guided me from a career on deck to a life dedicated to creating incredible travel experiences for my clients.
Now a mom to two energetic boys, Dimitri and Kit, I’ve embraced the joy of planning journeys that enrich and inspire families. My husband Zak and I have explored the globe, and we’re now sharing that wanderlust with our sons, proving that family travel can be both luxurious and adventurous.
I specialize in luxury cruising with world-class vendors like Windstar and Viking, as well as international adventure travel, including National Geographic Expeditions. Whether you dream of river cruising through Europe, experiencing the vibrant cultures of Japan, or embarking on a safari in Tanzania, I’m here to make it happen.
Since launching my agency in 2023, I’ve helped clients create unforgettable honeymoons, family getaways, and once-in-a-lifetime expeditions. My favorite destinations? Switzerland, French Polynesia, Japan, and Tanzania—each offering its own unique magic.
At Passageo Travel, I believe that travel is the only thing you can buy that makes you richer. Let’s design a journey that brings you closer to the world—and to the people you love.
