FEATURES OF OUR ALASKA TRIP-PLANNING SERVICES:
1. Trip planning and design expertise: Valuable first-hand expertise on Alaska as a travel destination, especially for first-time travelers to Alaska. We will use our experience gained from our many trips to Alaska to assist you in maximizing your personal expectations for your particular trip to Alaska. Over the years we have learned that everyone doesn't have the same expectations and priorities in planning their trip of a lifetime to Alaska. Some would select Denali national park as a top priority. Others might emphasize train travel and sightseeing. Others may want an adventure experience that would include a float plane trip. Some may have dreamed of seeing grizzly bears in their natural habitat. Still others may want time to go fishing, or a free day from the 'tour' to sightsee on their own by rental car. The fact is that whatever your own expectations are for a trip to Alaska, we are able to design a trip around your particular expectations. Based on our conversation with you, we can determine if your expectations can be met by traveling on one of the fixed pre-designed cruise/tours offered by the cruise lines, or if you would be better served traveling on a custom designed land package that simply connects with a cruise, or perhaps omit a cruise entirely. Whatever your expectations, our valuable experience in traveling to Alaska has uniquely equipped us to design and recommend a trip that will exceed your expectations!!! We're not limited to just a few canned trips in a large tour company's brochure. Yes you can travel independently in Alaska in a safe and confident, with the assistance of the Alaska Travel Experts. However, independent travel is not for everyone. Many people prefer to travel within an organized tour. Whatever your particular preferences, we have the expertise to recommend the type of trip that best meets your needs and expectations.
2. Restaurant Recommendations: In every overnight location on your itinerary.
3. Sightseeing
Recommendations: For how to spend your free time in each location: to provide you with the value of our experience in each location. Your time on your trip is valuable and does not need to be wasted on unrewarding activities.
4. Savings On The Alaska Cruise Ship Experience: Due to our large volume of Alaska cruise sales, we offer an extensive inventory of reduced rate cruises at prices normally offered only to large groups, but which we are able to offer to both individuals and to groups. For groups occupying eight or more cabins, additional incentives may be available.
5. Savings On Air Fare: Rather than just offer the usually expensive and overpriced airfare options provided by the major cruise lines, we have the capability to always offer a potentially lower fare option by booking and issuing airline tickets separate from the cruise line. Travelers from the east coast usually save $200 or more per person when choosing this option. And this way, you also get to select the specific airline and flights, without paying a 'custom air deviation fee' just to have this right!
6. Shore Excursion Recommendations: Rather than having to blindly choose your shore excursions on your own, we offer specific recommendations in each port of call. Some shore excursions are better than others, plus each one is not for everyone. Many factors need to be considered such as age, mobility, overall health, price, and the expectations of the individual passenger.
7. Our Valuable Connections In Alaska: With only the finest lodges, hotels, guides, outfitters, tour operators, etc. So you aren't taken advantage of and thus your hopes of a dream trip to Alaska ruined
