They are the perfect home base for exploring the Great Land.

Working with us offers some
distinct advantages...
We have been narrowing in on our area of expertise for years,
setting out twenty years ago with a single destination -
specialty in mind; Alaska...and have been hyper focused on it,
since day one. Our efforts include first hand " been there...done
that" knowledge, building travel provider relationships that
leverage value and savings, personal consulting and unique
amenities. Alaska represents our passion and an a result we have
become that go-to person to consumers. That's what we're
recognized as, and that's what like-minded travelers are looking
for. We're not trying to cast a very wide net and have thousands
of new customers, offering everything under sun. What we really
try to do, is help a limited number of clients plan their Alaska
vacation by sharing our knowledge and expertise about their
destination. While the high tech race moves forward, old
fashioned expert advice is what Raye & Marty offer like-minded
cruise travelers who visit Alaska Cruises Direct. There are some
things only experience can tell you. While our site highlights
many great offers,
planning an Alaska cruise is more than just clicking through a
list of dates and prices. It's learning all about what there is
to see and do in Alaska, and the best way to enjoy your
vacation.
