Regent Seven Seas Cruises is now offering cruises to Alaska "from the beautiful port of Whittier, Alaska." Why? It is about one hour closer to the airport in Anchorage and there is a new cruise ship terminal to enjoy.

They are also replacing some visits to Ketchikan with Klawock instead for a more immersive destination experience.

"Nestled amongst lush rainforest typical of the Inside Passage, Klawock is an authentic pioneer town on the rugged central-western coast of Prince of Wales Island.

Thriving wildlife, including bears drawn to the salmon-rich Klawock River and extensive collections of totem poles, promise a genuine Alaskan experience at this newly constructed port."

If you want to head to Alaska and experience this first hand, let us know!

Explore our all-inclusive luxury cruises to unforgettable destinations with Regent Seven Seas Cruises and experience a dream vacation.

Not all of these are super luxurious but if you are into snorkeling they can at least get you close to the water. And we may have some other suggestions in some of these locations that can give you some more pampering. Just ask.

Sergeant majors and grouper and jellyfish and rays. Elkhorn and staghorn coral, reef sharks and organ pipes and barracuda and needlefish.

Most days I love being a travel butler. Then some days you are on the phone for 2 hours+ to add 1 person to a room we already reserved at an all-inclusive resort. GRRR.

I was just nominated as one of the top 6 travel designers in the world by Serandipians in the category of Client Knowledge. What an honor! I stand in very good company - congratulations to all the others.

And did you know that one of the first things on our website says "You are more important than the destination." So glad to know it is noticed.

I'll find out later this month if I won or not.

Ever wondered about the difference between 1st Class and Business Class seats on flights? Here is a good answer for you.

By the way, we often have access to special waiver fares on these international flights which can save you $$. Let us know if you want to fly this way.

We asked experts to break down the airplane seat hierarchy to help decipher when that upgrade is actually worth it.

Most people know us for creating special moments in their lives uniquely for them as their travel butlers. However, we can also play travel agent.

FYI If you want to travel next year don't wait. We are currently designing experiences for summer to fall (and even winter) of 2024 and finding that availability is already tight in some cases.

Case in point from one of our contacts in Japan:
"We recently announced a stop...for Japan travel in March 2024. This decision was made necessary due to unprecedented demand and limited supply of top-tier guides, accommodations and experiences during the sakura season.... We must extend this booking pause from 1 March until 17 May 2024. This extension is in line with our dedication to ensuring that all our guests enjoy seamless and high-quality travel experiences."
