Because Ordinary Isn't an Option

The Last Frontier, First Class

Alaska isn’t just a destination—it’s a force of nature. It’s where glaciers breathe, wildlife still rules, and the wilderness stretches farther than the eye can dream. At Lap of Luxury Travel, we believe the best way to experience this majestic frontier is with equal parts adventure and elegance.

I’ve personally curated these cruise and land journeys to give you the best of both worlds—luxury at sea and raw beauty on land. Whether it’s sailing past towering ice walls, waking up in Denali’s shadow, or spotting bald eagles from your stateroom balcony, this is more than a vacation. It’s a front-row seat to Earth at its most untamed.

Welcome to Alaska—The Last Frontier, First Class.

Cheers,

Why Alaska Cruises Are Unforgettable

Alaska isn’t just a place—it’s a living, breathing wilderness where glaciers calve, whales breach, and eagles soar overhead. Cruising is the only way to experience the grandeur of this untamed frontier in comfort and style.

Here’s what sets Alaska cruises apart:

  • Unmatched Access: Glide through narrow fjords, past ancient glaciers, and into coastal towns unreachable by road.

  •  Dual Perspectives: Combine sea and land for the ultimate contrast—luxury onboard, raw wilderness ashore.

  •  Wildlife Encounters: Spot orcas, bears, sea lions, and bald eagles from your balcony or on guided excursions.

  •  Scenic Rail & Lodge Add-Ons: Extend the adventure inland with luxury train rides to Denali and backcountry lodge stays.

  •  A Front-Row Seat to Nature’s Power: There’s nothing like watching a glacier thunder into the sea—cocktail in hand.

Whether you're after adventure, serenity, or once-in-a-lifetime views, Alaska delivers it all.
