I love nature, photography, snorkeling and soft adventure and having been a travel specialist for over 32 years has allowed me many opportunities.

Bucket List trip!

This was our first time visiting Alaska and doing a cruise. What a wonderful experience it was! Jacqie was able to explain everything to us prior to our trip starting, so nothing was a surprise! Great experience that we will remember forever!
