About Me

Alaska Cruise Adventure

If a cruise is what your inner traveler desires, then Alaska is the perfect destination of choice. The best time to visit is from May through mid-September, allowing you to experience more daylight hours and favorable weather conditions.

There are many ways to explore Alaska, as cruise lines offer a variety of itineraries and cruise lengths. Popular departure cities include Seattle, Vancouver, and San Francisco. Travelers can choose from several cruise lines, including Princess Cruises, Holland America, Celebrity Cruises, and Norwegian Cruise Line, all offering unique experiences and amenities.

After Seattle, you will depart for the scenic Inside Passage, where you can enjoy breathtaking wildlife, including whales, sea otters, bald eagles, and other native species as you travel toward Juneau, Alaska.

One unforgettable experience is the White Pass & Yukon Route Railway in Skagway, where you can ride through stunning mountain scenery and learn about the rich history of the Klondike Gold Rush.You can also experience the natural beauty of Glacier Bay National Park, where you may witness glaciers calving into the sea and spot wildlife such as seals, puffins, and bears.

Another popular stop is Ketchikan, known for its rich Native Alaskan culture, colorful waterfront, and world-famous salmon fishing.For outdoor enthusiasts, Alaska offers endless adventure opportunities. Guests can enjoy dog sledding on a glacier, kayaking through icy fjords, hiking scenic trails, or taking a helicopter tour for incredible aerial views of the landscape.

If Denali National Park is on your wish list, pre- or post-cruise land tours can easily be arranged. Travelers often combine their cruise with a guided rail journey or a stay at one of the park’s beautiful wilderness lodges.There are many options when planning your trip, from booking a glacier excursion to trying your hand at gold panning. Whether you are looking for relaxation, adventure, or unforgettable scenery, Alaska offers an experience unlike any other.

If this sounds like the vacation you are looking for, I would be happy to help you plan your ideal Alaska cruise and land tour experience.

The All Inclusive Vacation was wonderful.
Reviewed By Fun in the sun - Brentwood, Tennessee | Traveled to Los Cabos | Baja California Sur | Mexico
Jo Ann helped my husband and I book a stay at Paradisus in Los Cabos at an adults only all inclusive resort. Our main goal was to golf and relax by the pool afterwards. The dining was excellent. She listened to my wishlist and gave us the best vacation and we will reach out to her the next time we travel. Liv D

The views of St. Lucia are the best!
Reviewed By Sunny Skies - Franklin, Tennessee | Traveled to Saint Lucia | St. Kitts and Nevis | Caribbean
We worked with Jo Ann to find a beach spot in the Caribbean that we had never visited before. Jo Ann picked just the right spot for us at Jade Mountain Resort in St. Lucia. The resort was breathtaking and accommodated all our needs. We consider ourselves foodies and the dining here was amazing, especially during sunset when there was such a amazing view. We can’t wait to go back to this resort and will contact her for the next stunning vacation. Michelle T

Best family vacation ever!
Reviewed By Peters Family - Nashville, Tennessee | Traveled to Punta Cana | Dominican Republic | Caribbean
We had a family vacation before school started back and were undecided where to go. We reached out to Jo Ann and she suggested Nickelodeon Hotels in Punta Cana in the Caribbean. She made sure our travel itinerary went smoothly, as we had several young children. The kids loved everything about it, we had had access to the waterpark, a lot of fun activities for the kids and especially meeting the characters. Lydia P

Nashville rocks!
Reviewed By Mom of Many Runners - Fort Wayne, Indiana | Traveled to Nashville | Tennessee | USA
We visited Nashville recently to cheer on my daughter in the Rock and Roll Marathon and let Jo Ann book our trip. She suggested a few tourist spots while we were there, we saw a concert and visited a few attractions, and took a boat ride on the river. We had a great time and the suggestions she made allowed us to take the worry out of planning and have a fun trip.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Celebrating our anniversary in the Dominican Republic
Reviewed By Tammy S - Winter Park, Florida | Traveled to Dominican Republic | Caribbean
My husband and I were interested in visiting the Caribbean for our anniversary. Jo Ann suggested Secrets Cap Cana Resort & Spa, an adults only resort that was All-Inclusive. We were extremely happy with the resort along the way, and they took care of all our needs. We relaxed and ate plenty of good food and soaked up the sunshine. We had a wonderful time while we were there. We would recommend this resort and her to anyone!
