Travel Advisor & Co-Founder, Pixie Vacations
Steve Griswold co-founded Pixie Vacations with his wife Lisa and has run it for 16 years from Canton, just north of Atlanta, Georgia. Pixie Vacations sells Celebrity River Cruises directly, so the fares and availability quoted here are checked against live booking inventory rather than estimated — and where Celebrity hasn't published a detail yet, we say so instead of guessing.
The agency holds 761 five-star Google reviews as of August 2026. Steve is an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner, a Disney College of Knowledge graduate, and a Sandals Certified Resort Counselor at Platinum Elite level, having personally visited all 17 Sandals and Beaches resorts. Pixie Vacations is a three-time Magellan Award winner (2013, 2014, 2015) and a Travel Weekly Award winner (2017), licensed as Florida Seller of Travel ST39600 and CST 2105179-40.
He also produces and hosts Mouse Chat, a family travel podcast running more than 15 years, and the Travel with Griz YouTube channel. He and his family built a working replica of the Wagon Queen Family Truckster from National Lampoon's Vacation and drive it on real road trips — a project covered by USA Today, NBC, ABC, CNN and HLN.
Celebrity River Cruises doesn't sail until August 2027. Steve will be aboard reviewing the ships when they launch. Until then, everything here comes from Celebrity's own announcements and from live booking data. Reach him at 678-815-1584.
