The epitome of luxury meets the untamed beauty of the Last Frontier aboard an Alaskan cruise, affording you a truly life-changing, bucket-list experience. Imagine gliding through pristine waters aboard a lavish vessel, where every detail is curated for your utmost comfort and pleasure. You’ll awaken to breathtaking views of majestic glaciers, soaring eagles and enchanting fjords right from your private balcony suite. World-class dining experiences abound, and you’ll savor the freshest seafood and gourmet cuisine, paired with exquisite wines. Unwind with indulgent spa treatments, or partake in exclusive shore excursions, from helicopter rides over glaciers to intimate wildlife encounters in Denali.

Alaskan cruises hold a special place in my memory, with my first Alaskan journey nearly 30 years ago. The intimate, small-ship experience allowed passengers to visit the bridge and see wildlife with the captain. And even though we encountered many weather events along the way (sun, rain and even storms!), we ended our journey in Anchorage with a 10 p.m. dinner beneath the Midnight Sun, something I’ll never forget. Since then, I’ve taken many Alaskan cruises as a couple and as a family with my adult children, and I’ve found that these experiences are perfect for all ages and interests.

Alaska is a destination you really should visit at least once in your lifetime. With my expertise, you’ll enjoy seamless planning and personalized service, ensuring every moment of your journey is extraordinary. Backed by my firsthand knowledge of the cruise industry and my certifications with Cunard, Seabourn and Holland America, I’ll help you choose the right ship for your individual needs. Or, if you’d rather opt for a fully land-based adventure, I can curate the perfect escape with stays at luxury lodges and even guided fishing activities.
