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.<\/p>\n

Our latest collaboration, “Cruises, Stays, and Unforgettable Days,”<\/a> is not just about travel\u2014it\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

All Aboard the Koningsdam Ship: Inaugural Cruise Trip to Alaska<\/h2>\n

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.<\/p>\n

And of course, no Dune Jewelry event would be complete without exclusive gifts\u2014think Ice Mule Coolers, Elemis skincare (a passenger favorite), and stunning jewelry from Dune, all carefully curated for our amazing travelers.<\/p>\n

“Christine, Holly and the team made it extra special. You feel like you\u2019re 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<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Christine<\/p>\n

As one cruise attendee put it, \u201cI walked away with 100 new friends!\u201d The camaraderie during the day translated into lively evenings filled with dancing to the ship\u2019s top notch bands, celebrating life the Dune way.
