About Me

Glacier Bay, Alaska
Glacier Bay, Alaska

I help couples, families and groups plan Alaska vacations that go beyond simply choosing a ship. From premium and luxury cruises to pre- and post-cruise stays, rail journeys, Denali, wildlife experiences and scenic land tours, I help clients build the right combination for the way they want to travel.I’ve personally traveled in Alaska and understand how much the cruise line, itinerary and ports can shape the overall experience. I help clients compare options such as Glacier Bay, Hubbard Glacier and Inside Passage routes, along with cabin choices, excursions and land packages. Whether you’re planning your first Alaska cruise, a milestone trip or a more luxurious Alaska experience, I’ll help you put the pieces together from start to finish.

Q: What is the best Alaska cruise itinerary?
That depends on what you want to see and how much time you have. I help clients compare Inside Passage itineraries, Glacier Bay, Hubbard Glacier, one-way cruises and roundtrip sailings to find the best fit.

Q: Should I add a land tour to my Alaska cruise?
For many travelers, yes. A land portion can include Denali, scenic rail travel and additional wildlife and wilderness experiences. I can help determine whether a cruise-only vacation or a cruise-and-land itinerary makes more sense for your trip.

Q: Which cruise line is best for Alaska?

There isn’t one cruise line that is best for everyone. I compare premium and luxury cruise lines, ships, itineraries, cabins and onboard experience based on how you like to travel.

Q: Can you help with Alaska excursions and pre- or post-cruise stays?

Absolutely. I can help coordinate excursions, hotels, transfers and additional time in destinations such as Anchorage, Fairbanks, Vancouver and Seattle.

The best belated honeymoon
Reviewed By Eddie and Abby - Bakersfield, CA | Traveled to Cancun ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
Kathi is amazing at helping with every aspect of planning a trip. My husband and I had some thought of where we wanted our next family vacation to be, but Kathi gave us multiple options, answered a million questions for us, and ultimately booked us a dream come true vacation that we will be taking in June. Excursions, airfare, hotels, and airport transportation can all be booked through Kathi. She is amazing at finding the best deals at the lowest price. And if there is a question she might not have an answer to, she spends her time finding it.
Kathleen Lowry responded
"Thank you Abby! It has been so rewarding planning your trips for you and Eddie. I can't wait to hear all about your summer vacation. I look forward to many more trips with you! Your kind words are very appreciated. Sincerely, Kathi"

Wonderful and fun!
Reviewed By Courtney - Marina Del Rey, CA | Traveled to
Kathi was amazing! She took all the stress of planning a vacation away. My husband and I are vacationing to Hawaii for our 10 year Anniversary. We have two little ones, and I was feeling overwhelmed at the thought of narrowing down where to stay, and which excursions to do. I got in touch with Kathi, and that overwhelming feeling went away immediately. She did the research for me, sent me just a couple options to see what I liked better, and booked it from there. It was great just having a top two or three to choose from instead of the hundreds of options in Hawaii. Thank you Kathi! We'll be using you again. Can't wait to be sipping my mai tai at Duke's!

"Hawaii is the perfect destination for a romance vacation! Thank you for trusting our agency. We are thrilled that you had a great travel experience. We look forward to many more vacations with your family!"

    Sailing Glacier Bay in Alaska

    I’ve had the chance to experience Alaska by cruise, and Glacier Bay is one of those places that truly lives up to the hype. The scenery is dramatic, peaceful and completely different from anything you see on a typical cruise itinerary.What I especially love about Alaska is how much the itinerary matters. Glacier Bay, Hubbard Glacier, the Inside ...

    Windstar Cruising in French Polynesia

    I have visited French Polynesia several times, including two sailings with Windstar Cruises, and it remains one of my favorite places to experience by small ship. Sailing between islands such as Tahiti, Bora Bora and Moorea gives you a completely different perspective than staying in one resort.What I love about Windstar in French Polynesia is t...

    "...exceeded expectations "
    As someone that owns a service oriented business, I rarely find an entity that meets the standards and expectations that I put on my own staff and team members; especially when it comes to being responsive and following through with prompt and proficient communications. Kathleen has both met and exceeded those expectations and I highly recommend her for any and all of your travel plans.
