Planning an Alaska cruise can get overwhelming FAST. 🏔️🚢

Which cruise line? Which itinerary? Glacier Bay or Hubbard Glacier? Roundtrip or one-way? Which side of the ship? And are those expensive excursions actually worth it?

That’s the stuff I love helping people figure out.

I’m a travel advisor who specializes in Alaska cruise planning—and I’ve cruised Alaska myself, so this account is where I share the things I’d want to know before spending thousands on an Alaska vacation.

Expect practical Alaska cruise tips, itinerary comparisons, excursion advice, planning tools, deals I spot, and plenty of Alaska along the way.

If Alaska is on your bucket list, I’d love to be your Alaska travel advisor. Follow along. 🤍

And tell me in the comments: what’s the ONE Alaska cruise question you’re stuck on right now?

🌴 JUST BOOKED: Puerto Vallarta!

This is exactly why I always say Ask Bryna First.

My clients are headed to Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta for 5 nights in an adults-only swim-up room — and I was able to save them more than $400 compared with booking the resort directly. 🙌

They also chose to upgrade their flights, because the best vacation isn’t necessarily the cheapest option — it’s the one that fits how you actually want to travel.

That’s what I do as a travel advisor: compare the options, look for the value, handle the details, and help you make the choices that make sense for your trip.

Alaska may have my heart 🏔️🚢, but I plan plenty of warm-weather escapes too. 🌴

Planning a trip and wondering if you’re getting the best option? Ask Bryna First. 💙

Silversea guests can enjoy a S.A.L.T. Experience in Sicily. While in Palermo you’ll feast at one of Tasca d'Almerita's picturesque estates — think fine wines, local pasta, and the freshest cannoli ever. Buon appetito!

🏔️ DON’T WAIT WEDNESDAY: If an Alaska cruise is on your 2027 bucket list, you do NOT have to wait until 2027 to start planning it.

In fact, looking early can mean more choices when it comes to your ship, itinerary, sailing date and — one of the big ones — your cabin.

And Alaska doesn’t always cost what people assume it does. 👀

I pulled a REAL 2027 Celebrity Solstice Alaska cruise quote, and I’m sharing it in the comments so you can see an actual example of what’s available right now. 👇

Apparently your phone knows you’re planning an Alaska cruise before I do. 😂🏔️🚢

But since it sent you my way, you might as well stick around.

I share the Alaska cruise stuff I’d want to know before booking — which itinerary to choose, ports and excursions, cruise planning mistakes, ship differences, and the little details that can completely change your Alaska experience.

Because choosing an Alaska cruise is about a LOT more than finding a ship going north.

Alaska cruises are NOT all the same. 👀🏔️🚢

The ship you choose matters.
The itinerary matters.
The ports matter.
The glacier you visit matters.
Even where your ship docks can change your experience.

That’s why I don’t believe in choosing an Alaska cruise just because it has the lowest price.

The right Alaska cruise is the one that matches what you actually want to see and do.
