Staff Testimonials - Alaska

One of the most magnificent destinations in the world is Alaska. The ice-capped mountains, crystal-clear waters, scenic forests, and those oh-so-adorable sled dogs - it's a spot that should be on everyone's "bucket list". Many of our staff members have conquered its vast terrains and they invite you to attend "On Stage Alaska" presented by Holland America Line and Brentwood Travel on Wednesday, September 27th at 7:00 PM. This once-a-year performance will feature our staff members, Alaskan locals, and Holland America Line representatives to show you why your next trip should be to Alaska. Read our staff's testimonials below to get a sneak peek of what you'll learn at "On Stage Alaska".

Seating at Creve Coeur Community Center is free but limited! To reserve your spot, email us or call 314-439-5700 ext. 110. To find out more about "On Stage Alaska" click here.

Stacey Acree - President

"Alaska for our family meant high adventure. We went Salmon Fishing in Skagway with stunning Bald Eagles flying above, Helicoptered to the top of a Glacier where we got to ride in a trail sled with the Iditarod Dogs and drank glacier water, hiked White Pass Mountain in Skagway and zip lined in Skagway with gorgeous scenery. My husband, teen boys, and myself had the thrill of a lifetime."


Dagmar Morrison - Corporate & Leisure Advisor

"Seeing the sunset and scenery while eating dinner was amazing. When you cruise along you see pieces of the ice floating along which is something you just don't see here."


Dianna Paridon - Leisure Advisor

"If you are looking to take a vacation filled with adventure, ever-changing spectacular scenery, fresh coastal seafood, and unforgettable sightseeing then an Alaska Cruise is for you.  I think of Alaska as one moving postcard!"


Emily Medina - Leisure Advisor​

"I really enjoyed my cruise in Alaska. The scenery is spectacular—the glaciers, mountains, wildlife, and culture are a must-see!"


Mickey Gaona - Leisure Advisor

"Cruising to Alaska was really an incredible experience. There's nothing like drinking champagne out on your balcony and watching the glaciers float by."
