About Me

Travel Advisor Lindsey Markwood in Skagway, Alaska
Travel Advisor Lindsey Markwood in Skagway, Alaska

Alaska should be an experience of a lifetime and somewhere you need to visit at least once.  I have cruised to Alaska and it is the second most popular destination I book for travelers.  

There are over 25 different cruise lines and tour operators that visit Alaska by sea, and each cater to a different type of traveler. Part of my job as your local travel advisor is to match which line AND itinerary is perfect for your travel party. 

Expertise Tailored to Your Travel Preferences

Whether you are planning a massive family reunion or a quiet anniversary escape, I match you with the right experience:

Multi-Generational & Family Focus: Coordinating grandparents and teenagers? I lean toward lines like Royal Caribbean or Disney Cruise Line, which offer robust onboard activities for kids. And yes, there are still adult-only sanctuaries on these ships.

The Premium Glacier Experience: For travelers who want classic elegance and the highly coveted Glacier Bay itineraries, I frequently book Holland America or Norwegian Cruise Line.

True Luxury: For couples or friend groups seeking a high-end experience, Silversea is one of my absolutes favorites for Alaska. 

Insider Alaskan Knowledge

I know what makes an Alaskan itinerary truly unforgettable. When my own family visited Juneau, we skipped the standard tours and booked a seaplane which was incredible. We were soaring over five different glaciers before landing on the water. It was spectacular. My cruise travelers have enjoyed everything from top-tier whale-watching to a fun salmon bake to experiencing the beautiful Mendenhall Glacier. I leverage my firsthand experience to elevate your itinerary.

Beyond the Ship

An Alaskan cruise is often just the beginning. I handle your entire itinerary from door to door, including I handle your entire itinerary from door to door, including:

  • Direct flight coordination from Hartsfield-Jackson (ATL) and other airports.
  • Pre- and post-cruise hotel stays in Vancouver, Seattle, or Anchorage.
  • Inland land tours, including the glass-domed trains to Denali National Park.

Let me handle the logistics while you focus on creating memories. If you are ready to plan the ultimate Alaskan escape, I would love to start designing your custom itinerary.

This was our 30th anniversary cruise
Reviewed By Ron&ChristyL - Imperial, Pa. | Traveled to Nassau ~ Bahamas ~ Caribbean
Lindsey was wonderful with us, She answered our texts, calls and emails. She answered our questions no matter how if we think they are important or not important. We mentioned to Linsey that we wanted to be on a cruise ship on January 29th. She made everything happen for us. My husband and I loved working with her.

Most Memorable trip!
Reviewed By RC - Kennesaw, GA | Traveled to Caribbean
We have just returned from a family cruise vacation on Royal Caribbean planned by Lindsey at Markwood Magic. The planning was so simple and stress-free. She was available to answer questions anytime we had them (even the smallest of requests or questions). Our kids are ages 11 and 7 and the cruise was a great option for us. My favorite part of the trip was seeing the kids try new foods, experience fine dining, boogie boarding and so much more. It was a very memorable vacation! I highly recommend Lindsey Markwood Magic for any travel plans. She is very detailed and thorough with tip sheets and bookings. 5 stars from me.

She’s your answer to family vacations
Reviewed By Sherisse - New York, NY | Traveled to Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
I just can’t speak highly enough about Lindsey honestly at this point, she just feels like a member of our family.

We originally booked at Club Med Punta Cana with her and got a last minute email saying it was cancelled because of the hurricane. Lindsey was on top of it. She booked us in Miches in the most wonderful room for our family.

The baby and kids club was sensational for my little ones and we couldn’t believe we finally had found a family vacation where we actually had a vacation. Time with my husband during the day and family time in the morning and afternoons.

No matter what little things we needed assistance with, Lindsey was on it. She took all the stress out of our trips. She goes beyond what I expected and for that, she’s our go to.

As soon as we got back, we booked again through her for yet another perfect vacation.

I feel like she’s an exhausted families answer to taking vacations. I can’t recommend her enough! She’s the BEST!!!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
