Croatia coastal old town — engineer your PTO around US holidays for longer voyages

PTO Maximizer

Work Smart.
Sail Longer.

Be Strategic. Be a PTO Maximizer.

4 days off. 9 nights at sea.

Your Hidden Advantage

Work smarter.
Sail longer.

Most people treat federal holidays as long weekends. PTO Maximizers treat them as departure days.

Built for teachers stacking school breaks, federal employees with 11 guaranteed holidays, and anyone with a few PTO days saved — read the calendar better and book 60–90 days out.

01

Pick a holiday anchor

The U.S. has 11 federal holidays — each one is a paid day you don't have to spend. They become your cruise anchor; build the voyage around them and the calendar works for you.

02

Bridge with PTO

Use a few strategically placed PTO days before or after to extend the bridge. 1–4 days off can unlock 4–9 nights at sea — without burning your entire leave balance.

03
