Your Cabin Called. It Wants More Personality.
Unique cruise gear for the explorers, the deck-chair enthusiasts, and the balcony-obsessed.
You know the feeling. It’s Day 4, you’ve had three mojitos, and every hallway looks exactly the same.
I’m Bonny, a real-life cruiser who was tired of boring gear. I design ‘Salty Swag’ for those who want to stand out in a sea of beige (and anyone who has ever accidentally wandered into the wrong stateroom).
The Salty Swag Collection 
Curated Cruise Essentials
From my first voyage to Bermuda in the 80s to over 6,000 miles sailed since 2011, I’ve seen how cruising has changed—and learned exactly what needs to be in my suitcase. This is my personal ‘must-pack’ list: the gear, gadgets, and sanity-savers that have survived the cut after decades of trial and error. If I don’t use it in my own cabin, I won’t recommend it for yours.
AHOY! As an Amazon Associate and affiliate for other boutique brands, I earn from qualifying purchases. Consequently, if you click and buy from an affiliate link on my site, I might earn a Mimosa-sized commission at no extra cost to you. Integrity is my anchor—I only recommend gear I’ve actually tested at some point during the 6,000 nautical miles I’ve sailed.

My Favorite Cruise Resources
Where I Book: Cruises.com
I book all my sailings here! I’m a founding member of their loyalty program, an early adopter who joined in December of 2024 during its initial launch. I trust them for the best prices, exclusive perks and reliable service. If you’re planning your next adventure, this is where I’d recommend you start your search. While I’m working on getting an official partnership with them, I recommend them simply because they are my favorite.
Where I Learn: Life Well Cruised
My favorite cruise content – I DEVOUR Ilana’s videos whenever I have a sailing coming up (and sometimes when I don’t). Whether you’re a first-time cruiser or a seasoned pro, her tips on ‘Life Well Cruised’ are the gold standard for savvy cruise travelers. From reviews to travel hacks to cruise line policy changes and beyond, I trust Ilana to keep me informed on the latest in cruising!
