Welcome To Juneau
Hello, I’m Tonya!
I’m the owner of Getaway by Tonya Jean Becker, and I’m here to help you see it all, share it all, and experience travel with confidence — whether by water or across land. From the glaciers of Alaska and the beaches of the Caribbean to European river cruises, all-inclusive resorts, group travel, and custom land tours, I help plan meaningful travel experiences designed around your needs, interests, and comfort level.
I specialize in cruises, group travel, senior travel, accessible travel support, and my signature program, Travel for a Cause, which helps qualified non-profit organizations raise funds through travel. Whether you’re planning a family vacation, a bucket-list adventure, a group getaway, or a purpose-driven trip, I help manage the details so you can focus on making memories. If you can dream it, I can help map it out.
Alaska Cruise Specialist
Hello, I’m Tonya! I’m an Alaska Cruise Specialist, and I love helping travelers turn their Alaska dreams into reality. From the glaciers of Glacier Bay to the historic streets of Ketchikan and the unforgettable charm of Skagway, I help clients experience the wild beauty of the Last Frontier by ship.
Whether you’re planning a family cruise, a multi-generational getaway, an accessible travel experience, or a bucket-list Alaska adventure, I help manage the details so you can focus on soaking in the views and making memories.

Extremely helpful and dependable
Reviewed By Koehniac - St. Paul, MN | Traveled to Bahamas | Caribbean
Tonya really goes above and beyond to ensure I’m going to have a good trip. She’s always asking and making suggestions about little details I wouldn’t have thought of myself. The communication doesn’t end when everything is booked - Tonya sends me progress notes, reminders, tips for my destination, etc.

"I really appreciate this, as I want to have the perfect vacation I want my clients to have that dream vacation!!"

Alaska
Reviewed By D7579 - Minnesota | Traveled to Alaska | USA
I am handicapped and use a wheelchair and I am on an oxygen machine. Little did I know that my portable oxygen machine was not airline approved but Tonya found that out for me and I was able to rent an approved machine. So imagine if I tried setting the tickets up thinking mine would have been approved only to find out at the last minute it wasn’t! Right there alone she saved our travel plans.
She also showed us all the different experiences we could do and see.
It was our first cruise and Tonya did EVERYTHING for us. All we had to do was show up at the airport and cruise ship. Loved our trip
Tonya Becker responded
"Thank you so much for sharing this. I believe everyone should have the opportunity to travel, no matter their abilities or medical needs. This is exactly why I take the time to look into the details ahead of time, so my clients can feel prepared, supported, and excited instead of stressed. I’m so happy everything worked out with the airline-approved oxygen machine and that you were able to enjoy your very first cruise. It was an honor to help you with this special trip!"
✓ I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

I reached out to Tonya after having found her name through a ChatGPT search, as I was looking for a travel agent who had experience booking Alaskan cruises. Tonya has been extremely helpful throughout our vacation-planning process. She has offered sound advice, guidance, and recommendations. I would recommend anyone contact Tonya for assistance in planning an Alaskan cruise!
