Explore Alaska’s Last Frontier

Glacier Bay National Park- Alaska

Imagine You’re standing on the deck of a magnificent cruise ship, coffee in hand, as the crisp Alaskan air fills your lungs. Suddenly, a humpback whale breaches the surface of the icy waters, as if to say, “Welcome to the Last Frontier!” You’re awestruck, your camera’s memory card is already full, and you haven’t even made it to the buffet yet.

That, my friends, is the magic of cruising Alaska—and it’s exactly the kind of unforgettable experience I help my clients create.Hi, I’m Jeff Bartlett, your go-to travel advisor for all things Alaska cruising. My wife Allison and I own Travel Marks Intl, where we specialize in crafting spectacular itineraries that leave you with stories to tell for years to come. Whether you’re a family looking to bond over glacier hikes or a retiree ready to check “see a bald eagle in the wild” off your bucket list, I’m here to make your Alaskan adventure as smooth as the ship’s midnight chocolate fondue.

Why Alaska, you ask? Because it’s the kind of place that makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a National Geographic documentary—minus the voiceover by David Attenborough (though I’m happy to narrate if you’d like). From the towering glaciers of Glacier Bay to the charming streets of Ketchikan, Alaska offers a little something for everyone. And let’s not forget the wildlife: bears, moose, whales, and the occasional squirrel who thinks he’s the king of the forest. It’s nature’s greatest hits, all in one place.Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Jeff, planning a cruise sounds overwhelming.

What if I pick the wrong ship or miss out on the best excursions?” That’s where I come in. With years of experience and a deep love for Alaska, I know the ins and outs of cruising the Last Frontier. I’ll help you choose the perfect cruise line—whether it’s Princess, Holland America, or Celebrity Cruises—and make sure you snag the best stateroom for whale-watching (trust me, not all balconies are created equal). I’ll even help you plan your shore excursions, so you can focus on enjoying the trip instead of Googling “best things to do in Juneau” at the last minute.

Speaking of shore excursions, let me tell you about the time I convinced a client to try dog sledding on a glacier. They were hesitant at first—something about not being “outdoorsy”—but by the end of the day, they were grinning ear to ear and asking if they could adopt one of the sled dogs. That’s the kind of joy I aim to bring to every trip I plan. Whether you’re zip-lining through the rainforest, panning for gold, or simply enjoying a scenic train ride through the mountains, I’ll make sure your Alaska cruise is packed with moments that make you say, “Wow, I can’t believe we just did that!”

But let’s not forget the onboard experience. Alaska cruises are as much about the journey as the destination. Imagine sipping a glass of wine as you watch glaciers calve into the sea, or enjoying a Broadway-style show after a day of exploring. And don’t even get me started on the food—Alaskan king crab, anyone? I’ll help you navigate all the options so you can make the most of your time on board.At Travel Marks Intl, we believe that travel is about more than just ticking boxes on a bucket list. It’s about creating memories that last a lifetime.

That’s why I take the time to get to know my clients and their unique travel dreams.
