About CCTA
About Cruisin Couple Travel Agency
A boutique luxury travel advisory based in Chandler, Arizona, serving travelers across the entire United States with personal expertise and refined service.
Our Story
Expertise, not just a booking button.
Cruisin Couple Travel Agency was founded by Melissa and Terry Yetter, a husband-and-wife team based in Chandler, Arizona. From the beginning, the goal was simple: to give travelers access to real planning expertise, not just another online checkout page.
We believe that exceptional travel — especially river cruising, luxury ocean cruising, and complex multi-stop itineraries — requires firsthand knowledge, careful coordination, and a relationship with an advisor who understands your priorities. That is the experience we built CCTA to deliver.
Today, we serve clients nationwide, from first-time cruisers to seasoned travelers looking for a higher level of guidance. Every itinerary we recommend is shaped by training, personal travel experience, and a commitment to service that a booking engine cannot replicate.
