I can honestly say that my first Alaska cruise blew me away. In fact, it really was the vacation of a lifetime.

I've spoken with may people who, like me, always wanted to travel to this region. Time and time again, these people have told me the same thing - their Inside Passage cruise actually exceeded their expectations.

So just what makes a vacation to this region so special?

You can sail through steep, misty fjords, their walls covered with lush vegetation and seemingly endless waterfalls.

You can cross streams so filled with salmon you could literally step from one fish to another.

You can hike through virgin temperate rainforest, looking out over enormous ice fields.

You can see whales. Bears. Dall sheep. Bald eagles.

And, most of all, you can relax and take in the most breathtaking scenery that you'll ever experience.

Working in travel and having traveled extensively, I have seen a lot of amazing and beautiful places.

But there is no place else I have visited that has had such a profound impact on me - I truly fell in love with this place.

Through this site, I'll take you on a virtual cruise of the Inside Passage:

• I'll show you the astounding beauty and serenity of Glacier Bay.
• You'll see the jaw-dropping alpine vistas of Juneau.
• You'll explore the quaint shops and rich native culture of Ketchikan.
• You'll travel to the majestic Mt. McKinley in Denali National Park.

There is something magical about this region and its affect on those who are fortunate enough to travel there.

In the days before the Internet, your travel agent would help you to plan a special vacation, giving your personalized advice on the best things to see and do.

Yet as the large web-based booking portals have come to dominate the market, that personal, one-on-one relationship with a knowledgeable travel agent has been lost.

That's exactly why I created this site - to allow you to access the type of personal, insider information and advice you would receive from a travel agent.

I believe that the details of a vacation are what make it truly memorable.

That's why on this site you'll find information and advice such as:

• my favorite shore excursion
• my pick for the best AK cruise line and best cruise ship
• my suggestions for what you absolutely MUST pack
• which cruise lines passengers picked as their favorites.
• the one inland tour you really should take
• the one AK cruise destination you really shouldn't miss

Most of all, I created this site in order to share with you this place which is so special to me, a place I'm sure you'll fall in love with too.
