Alaska
At Magic Lamp Vacations, we’re not your average Alaska vacation planners. For us, it’s never just about booking your cruise or mapping your land adventure. It’s about crafting a personalized Alaska game plan that’s as unique—and legendary—as your family. We guide, coach, and advocate for you every step of the way, helping you maximize your budget and your fun… while minimizing the cold sweats, overwhelm, and last-minute freak-outs. Your family deserves to experience Alaska at its absolute best. And you deserve a planning experience that’s just as fun, simple, and breathtaking as the trip itself.
Our Travel-Planning Genies℠ Love to Answer...
Is an Alaska cruise or a land adventure better for my family?
Which excursions are actually worth it—and which ones are just expensive bus rides?
What’s the best way to see glaciers without feeling rushed (or freezing into a popsicle)?
Our Alaska experts will help you navigate all your big vacation questions—and even a few you didn’t know you should ask!
Why go to Alaska?
First of all—there’s nothing like it. Alaska feels like a whole new world your family’s never experienced before.
Instead of sunscreen and flip flops, you’ll trade up for cozy jackets, crisp air, and once-in-a-lifetime moments you can’t just book anywhere.
It’s whales breaching right next to your ship. It’s bald eagles soaring so close you’ll swear they’re posing for your family photo. And it’s strapping on crampons and crunching your way across a glacier like a true Arctic explorer—without the frostbite, we promise.
We'll show you everything you want to know...
about Alaska’s best ports, most unforgettable excursions, and where to catch those “you had to be there” moments that don’t show up on a brochure. (Like which glacier hike is actually worth the splurge—and which whale watching tours almost guarantee you’ll spot a tail flip!)
Another thing you’ll love about Alaska? Every cruise and land trip offers different wildlife sightings, excursions, and secret stops… but they can be tricky to time just right.
We’ll tell you exactly where—and when—to spot bald eagles, bears, and even those adorable sled dog puppies. (There are only a handful of places where you can actually cuddle future Iditarod racers—and you better believe we know where to find them!)
We'll also show you how to skip the crowds ...
maximize the fun (the secret is not what you think!) AND we’ll show you how to snag the best excursions, cabins, and glacier-view moments before everyone else even knows what they’re missing. Plus—we’ll guide you through the major difference between summer and winter Alaska adventures, so you never accidentally miss your dream experiences.
Because here’s the thing: Summer brings whale watching, glacier hikes, and dog sledding on sparkling ice fields… Winter brings Northern Lights, cozy rail journeys, and adventures straight out of a snow globe.
Here’s the bottom line—we’ve explored Alaska by land and by sea, and we know all the tips and tricks… Including the ones that other travelers don’t even know EXIST.
