This year marked the beginning of an extraordinary new journey for Dune Jewelry, as we set sail on an exciting adventure with Holly Daniels Christensen and Christine Kesteloo.

Our latest collaboration, “Cruises, Stays, and Unforgettable Days,” is not just about travel—it’s about building lasting friendships, sharing unforgettable experiences, and celebrating life with style and adventures made around the world. We’ve joined forces with our beloved collaborator Christine Kesteloo to make these trips happen.

All Aboard the Koningsdam Ship: Inaugural Cruise Trip to Alaska

Our first group cruise aboard the Holland America Koningsdam ship through Alaska blew away all expectations. From scenic glacier views to zip-lining at Icy Strait Point, every day was packed with fun and exploration.

And of course, no Dune Jewelry event would be complete without exclusive gifts—think Ice Mule Coolers, Elemis skincare (a passenger favorite), and stunning jewelry from Dune, all carefully curated for our amazing travelers.

“Christine, Holly and the team made it extra special. You feel like you’re meeting celebrities because you have followed them so long on social media, and then you are embraced by their authentic selves, warm, real and so down to earth.” – Sue Rose, Cruise Attendee

Why Travel With Us?

At Dune Jewelry, travel is more than just a trip; it’s an opportunity to capture your most cherished memories in fine and demi-fine personalized jewelry that reflects your journey and spirit. Our Dune Travels trips embody that ethos—adventure, connection, and a little bit of luxury all wrapped up into one unforgettable experience. Plus, we take care of the events and excursions while allowing you the flexibility to enjoy your trip your way. But the best part truly is the friendships made along the way.

“There was so much good, I wouldn’t know where to start. Christine’s experience was invaluable and Holly adopted my cabin mate, Katie, and I as her mothers!” – Krista Southern, Cruise Attendee

What made this trip so special were the incredible connections we built. As one cruise attendee put it, “I walked away with 100 new friends!” The camaraderie during the day translated into lively evenings filled with dancing to the ship’s top notch bands, celebrating life the Dune way. Our cocktail parties became a fan favorite, too, where we shared stories and sipped on our favorite drinks.
