Your Premier Beach Resort Vacation Maestro

Hello, fellow travelers! I’m Alfred Willis Jr., affectionately known as “Big AL.” As the owner and lead travel advisor for StarGaze Vacations LLC, I’ve dedicated my life to crafting unforgettable beach resort vacations for families, multi-generational families, couples, girls’ getaway weekends, ladies’ retreats, and solo travelers. Let me take you on a journey through my world, where planning your dream beach escape is my passion and expertise.

A Veteran-Owned Voyage

Founded in 2016, StarGaze Vacations LLC is a veteran-owned and operated travel agency. Our mission is to design exhilarating beach resort vacations that cater to the unique needs of families, multi-generational families, romantic getaways for couples, fun-filled girls’ weekends, rejuvenating ladies’ retreats, and adventurous solo travelers. We’ve sent clients to tropical paradises like Hawaii, the serene beaches of the Caribbean, and the luxurious coastlines of Mexico.

A Legacy of Exploration

Over the past 30 years, I have traversed five of the seven continents, always with an eye toward building my travel agency. My heart beats for sun-soaked shores and tranquil waves, and each beach escape has enriched my expertise, allowing me to bring first-hand knowledge and insider tips to my clients. Whether it’s a family-friendly beach resort, a romantic seaside escape, or a solo beach retreat, I’ve got you covered.

Family Cruise
Reviewed By TK - Dayton, Ohio | Traveled to Caribbean Sea ~ At Sea ~ At Sea
Mr. Willis is a fantastic travel agent, he will help you select the right vacation for you and your family for your budget. He walked me through the process of booking a cruise for me and my family. He also gave me the best advice about purchasing travel insurance. I have never purchased travel insurance and I’m glad I did. My family was caught in the Atlanta airport power outage and he helped us try and get alternate transportation out of Atlanta and was a spokesman for us when talking to the cruise line and the travel insurance company since we had limited cell phone coverage. He also kept us aware of what’s being said in the news since we didn’t get accurate information from workers at the airport. We unfortunately missed out on our vacation but Mr. Willis’s help was very instrumental and he helped me with filing my claim. I would have been loss without his help. I continue to rely his travel knowledge to help book my family vacations.
Alfred Willis responded
"I’m so grateful for your kind words! It was my pleasure to guide you through the process and support your family during such a stressful situation. I’m glad the travel insurance and assistance were helpful, and I look forward to helping you plan many more smooth and memorable vacations in the future."
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    Book a Cruise a Little Late
    I decided to book a cruise a little late in the game, and the StarGaze team was quick to respond, gave a thorough presentation of the options and had something together with the requested perimeter in a couple of days. As this is my first cruise, I’m confident that StarGaze helped us make the perfect choice and avoid any first timer mishaps! I would highly recommend for your vacation booking needs. Thank you Alfred and StarGaze team!

    First Time Cruisers To Alaska
    “We had a great time.” It was an incredible experience working with the couple. Assisting first-time cruisers in planning their dream vacation is always fulfilling. Booking them in The Retreat on Celebrity X Cruise in the Celebrity Suite on the Celebrity Edge ensured that their trip was truly unforgettable.
