Amazing Alaska/Yukon Adventure!
Reviewed By Rose - Freeland, PA | Traveled to Alaska | USA
This was our bucket list trip! Actually, I found Michelle on YouTube because we were interested in going on a Cruise Tour to Alaska/Yukon. After watching her videos for the Holland America Y5L tour, I knew this was what my husband and I wanted to do. I checked with several area travel agents, but none of them understood what a cruise/tour was with Holland America. They all said, " You need to do the 7-day cruise and then the land portion." I got somewhat frustrated. So I reached out to Michelle. She was a blessing to work with. In this day and age, everything is handled online anyway; that was the beauty of it, me being in PA and her in FL. Michelle responded quickly to all the questions I had. She informed me of the options for excursions, meal plans, and insurance. What I valued most was that she took this trip herself and understood how everything was planned. We started in Anchorage with the McKinley Train to Denali & Denali National Park (saw 2 grizzly), then took a bus/coach to Fairbanks with a riverboat tour included. The next day FLEW to Dawson City for a couple of days, which included Dredge 4. Next, took a bus/coach to White Horse on the Klondike Highway (cool... a good portion was a dirt road). From there traveled to Skagway (including the White Pass Train Excursion) and got on the Koningsdam for a 4-night cruise. In the end, the trip was absolutely fabulous, even better than we expected. We enjoyed the land portion the most. We were first-time cruisers, so it was out of our comfort zone. Holland America knows what they are doing!
I would absolutely recommend Michelle to anyone for their travel needs. She was consistent in sending us up-to-date information as we got closer to the trip, with tips and tricks that helped us plan.
Michelle Morrison responded
"Thank you so much for this incredibly kind review. I loved helping you plan this bucket list Alaska/Yukon trip, especially since it’s one I know and love so much. These CruiseTours can be confusing at first, so I’m glad my videos and personal experience helped. I’m thrilled it was even better than expected. Thank you again for trusting me!"

Great Trip!
Reviewed By Michelle - Denver CO | Traveled to Alaska | USA
I was planning a trip to Alaska for my dad, who’s always wanted to go. I was a bit lost on where to begin. That’s when I stumbled upon Michelle’s website and got in touch. She asked about our preferences and gave us some great ideas for services we might want to include. Since it had been over 20 years since I’d been on a cruise, this was a huge help. She answered all my questions as I was getting ready for the trip, and the links and videos on her site were super helpful in getting everything organized. I really think she was a big reason the trip went so smoothly. I’d definitely use her services again and recommend her to others. We had a great trip to Alaska!
Michelle Morrison responded
"Thank you so much for this wonderful review! I absolutely loved helping you plan this Alaska trip for you and your dad. Alaska can feel overwhelming at first because there are so many choices, so I’m really glad the information, my videos, and planning support helped make everything easier for you both. I’m thrilled you had a great trip and that everything went smoothly. It would be my pleasure to help you again anytime!"

Celebrity Apex (Celebrity Issues, No Michelle Issues)
Reviewed By Lyn C. - Clermont, FL | Traveled to Grand Cayman | Cayman Islands | Caribbean
Michelle provided all the information needed to have a nice cruise. Even with a weather challenge at Grand Cayman, with a change of location for docking, Michelle made sure everyone understood what was going on and kept everyone information of the set back. We got a late start, but spirits were high and the group had a great outing (excursion).
Michelle Morrison responded
"Thanks so much Lyn for your review. Our day in Grand Cayman definitely wasn't what was expected with the docking location change but yes, I definitely think the entire group had a great day touring the island and a delicious lunch!! Can't wait to sail with you again!!"
