Coastal Mountain Travel | Your Cruise, Your Cause

Our Mission

Travel that gives back
with every booking

At Coastal Mountain Travel, we pioneered a concept we call Pass-Thru Travel — a simple but powerful idea: when you travel with us, a portion of every booking passes through to fund causes that matter most.

This isn't a marketing slogan. Glenn built this model from personal experience. His wife Bethany lives with ALS, and that journey changed how he sees the world — and travel. Every trip you book becomes a small act of generosity for someone who needs it.

"Fundraising is traveling. When you go somewhere, you help someone get somewhere too."

Choose Your Cause When You Book

Pass-Thru Travel is defined as the eligible commission earned by your agent — Glenn Topfer — on every booking. Based on your travel itinerary, a portion of the eligible commission earned by your agent passes through directly to the cause of your choosing — at no extra cost to you.

ALS &
Disability Travel

Glenn's wife Bethany lives with ALS. That lived experience means Glenn doesn't just understand accessible travel — he researches it, advocates for it, and knows which ships, cabins, and itineraries truly deliver on their accessibility promises.

"Not all accessible trips are what they claim." Glenn tells you the truth — and steers you toward the sailings that actually work for mobility challenges, wheelchair access, and medical equipment needs.

Whether you're traveling with ALS, MS, limited mobility, or any physical disability, Glenn is one of the few agents in the country who can speak to this from personal, daily experience.

About Your Advisor

Robert "Glenn"
Topfer

"Show up, to make the effort."

Glenn spent 38 remarkable years as an executive chef — a career built entirely on hospitality, precision, and making people feel genuinely cared for. That same ethic now drives everything he does at Coastal Mountain Travel.

In April 2025, Glenn semi-retired from the kitchen and brought that same fire to travel planning. He and his wife Bethany — a cruising couple who've explored the U.S. coast to coast — know travel from the inside out. When Bethany was diagnosed with ALS, Glenn didn't step back from life. He stepped forward. His life goal says it all: "Show up, to make the effort."

Glenn is transparent. He will tell you what works and what doesn't for accessible travel. He will never oversell. He believes deeply in networking, community, and the power of hospitality — and he brings all of it to every client relationship.
