Expert, personalized guidance from certified advisors who have sailed Alaska and wrote the book on it — literally.
We know which lines access Glacier Bay, which ships are best for scenic cruising, and how premium vs. luxury small-ship experiences actually differ.
We've done the research — from helicopter glacier landings in Juneau to the White Pass Railway in Skagway — and we know which excursions are worth the splurge.
Alaska is about the scenery. We'll help you choose the right cabin type and location so you don't miss a single glacier, whale, or bald eagle from your balcony.
Want to see Denali after your cruise? We coordinate the full Alaska experience — cruise plus land extensions to Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Denali National Park.
Whether you want a romantic escape, a family adventure, or a group trip, we build an Alaska experience around your travel style — not a cookie-cutter package.
From flights and transfers to specialty dining and excursion reservations, we handle every detail so you can focus on the adventure ahead.
We're Rusty and Shelley Meeks — the husband-and-wife team behind HAVACATION Travel. Alaska isn't just a destination we plan for clients. We've sailed it ourselves, stood on the deck at Glacier Bay watching ice calve into the ocean, spent mornings on our balcony with coffee and binoculars spotting sea otters, and taken the White Pass Railway in Skagway.
With over 25 years of combined experience in event planning, corporate travel, and travel advising — and as Certified Travel Professionals — we bring real expertise and personal passion to every Alaska cruise we plan.
Those quiet mornings watching Alaska wake up from our balcony — coffee in hand, binoculars ready — were truly unforgettable. That's the Alaska cruise experience we help our clients create.
Holland America, Princess, Seabourn, Silversea, Regent, Cunard — we match you to the right line for your travel style and budget.
Roundtrip vs. one-way, Glacier Bay access, scenic cruising days — we review every option so you choose the right route.
Glacier helicopter landings, whale watching, the White Pass Railway — we help you book the right experiences at the right price.
Extend your Alaska adventure with a Denali land tour, Anchorage, or Fairbanks — we coordinate the whole journey.
Anniversaries, family reunions, friend groups — Alaska makes an extraordinary backdrop for special occasions.
