Alaska Vacations

Alaska Vacations: Adventure in the Last Frontier

Alaska is a destination that defies description. It is a land where glaciers groan under their own weight, eagles outnumber people, and the horizon is dominated by the highest peaks in North America. At Travel by Cassie, we specialize in "The Total Alaska Experience"—seamlessly blending the luxury of Alaskan Cruises with immersive, high-end Land-Based Stays.

Why Book Alaska with a Specialist?

Planning an Alaska trip is a logistical puzzle. From choosing between a "Southbound" or "Northbound" cruise to coordinating the Alaska Railroad and remote lodge transfers, the details matter. Based in Brunswick, Ohio, I provide Northeast Ohio travelers with the expertise needed to navigate this vast wilderness safely and in style.

The 2026 Alaskan Cruise and Vacation Experience

We partner with the industry’s top lines—Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Viking, and Holland America—to offer itineraries that feature the must-see ports of Juneau, Skagway, and Ketchikan, alongside the awe-inspiring Glacier Bay National Park.

VIP Port Excursions: Don't just walk the tourist shops. We arrange private Juneau Food & Brewery Tours where you can sample world-class Alaskan King Crab and locally crafted brews from the Alaskan Brewing Co.

Beyond the Ship: Iconic Alaskan Adventures

For the true explorer, the real magic happens when you step off the ship and head into the interior.

• Flightseeing & Denali Viewing: There is no better way to grasp the scale of the Alaska Range than from the air. We arrange private flightseeing tours that take you over the summit of Denali and land you directly on a glacier for an unforgettable mountain-top walk.

• Dog Mushing: The State Sport- Experience the thrill of the "Last Great Race." Whether you're visiting a premier Iditarod kennel in the summer or driving your own sled dog team across a frozen glacier, we connect you with authentic mushers who share the history and passion of this iconic Alaskan tradition.

• Snow Machining & Aurora Viewing: In Alaska, we don't call them "snowmobiles"—it’s snow machining. We book high-end winter expeditions through the backcountry of Fairbanks. Stay at luxury outposts like Borealis Basecamp, where you can watch the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) from the warmth of a private, glass-domed igloo.

• The Alaska Railroad: GoldStar Service: Traverse the wilderness in the legendary GoldStar Service railcars. Enjoy 360-degree views from glass-domed ceilings and an outdoor upper-level viewing platform—the only one of its kind. Your journey includes gourmet meals and drinks as you wind from Anchorage to the gates of Denali National Park.
