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.

Great help planning our Alaska adventure!
Reviewed By grwilly - Minnetrista, MN | Traveled to Alaska | USA
We worked with Tonya to help us plan our first-ever trip to Alaska. We wanted to go with someone who had good experience and could assist with both the land and sea portions of our trip. Tonya had excellent recommendations along the way and was very responsive to any questions we posed her way. She also made herself available for a couple Zoom calls right before our trip to ensure we had all last-minute details sorted out. We are happy with our experience working with Tonya!
Tonya Becker responded
"Thank you so much for taking the time to share this review — it truly means the world to me! Helping you and your husband plan your first Alaska trip was such a joy, and I'm so glad everything came together beautifully. Knowing you felt supported from the planning stages through those last-minute Zoom calls is exactly what I strive for.
If you ever feel the travel bug again, you know where to find me!"

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.
Tonya Becker responded
"I really appreciate this, as I want to have the perfect vacation I want my clients to have that dream vacation!!"
✓ I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
