Alaska isn’t just a destination — it’s an awakening. Vast and untamed, it’s where glaciers thunder into the sea, forests stretch endlessly toward the horizon, and the midnight sun lingers long enough to make time feel irrelevant. And for us, it’s deeply personal. Our team’s roots run deep here — we grew up surrounded by Alaska’s wild beauty and rich cultural traditions, and we bring that first-hand knowledge into every itinerary we design. As Certified Alaska Travel Experts, we know when and where to go, and how to unlock the extraordinary experiences most travelers never even hear about.

At Latitude & Leisure, we pair that insider knowledge with thoughtful curation — weaving together exclusive access, hand-selected guides, and seamless logistics to create a journey that’s elevated, effortless, and deeply meaningful. Whether you’re dreaming of epic wilderness or soulful cultural encounters, we’ll craft an Alaska itinerary that captures the essence of the Last Frontier — just for you.

Cruise Alaska

One of the most extraordinary ways to explore Alaska is by water — where towering fjords, calving glaciers, and wildlife-filled shorelines unfold just beyond your balcony. Expedition and small-ship voyages unlock experiences larger ships can’t: Zodiac landings on remote beaches, kayaking among icebergs, and naturalist-led excursions deep into national parks.

Our deep familiarity with Alaska’s coastal communities — including Sitka, where our team once lived — means we know the most rewarding ways to explore these ports of call. We’ll guide you in choosing the sailing style that suits you — from ultra-luxury expeditions through the Inside Passage to intimate yacht charters exploring Prince William Sound — then layer in experiences like floatplane bear viewing, glacier helicopter landings, or private guided hikes. Every detail is designed to transform your cruise into a once-in-a-lifetime journey.

Fishing & Remote Lodges

Alaska is home to some of the best fishing on Earth — and you don’t have to sacrifice comfort to experience it. From secluded fly-in lodges on world-class salmon rivers to luxury coastal retreats where halibut and king crab are the catch of the day, we pair you with expert guides and exclusive properties that make each day on the water effortless.

Even non-anglers will find plenty to love: scenic flightseeing tours, glacier cruises, wellness retreats, or wildlife-viewing excursions can easily be woven into the itinerary. Whether you’re casting for trophy trout or savoring a chef-prepared meal made from your own catch, these are Alaska moments you’ll remember forever.

Wildlife & Birding

Alaska is one of the last places on Earth where wildlife still roams free — and the encounters here are nothing short of extraordinary. Watch brown bears swipe salmon from rushing streams. See orcas and humpbacks breach alongside your boat. Photograph bald eagles, puffins, and thousands of migrating shorebirds from world-renowned viewing sites.

Our roots trace back to Gambell on St. Lawrence Island, one of the most celebrated birding destinations on the planet. Growing up there gave us a front-row seat to one of nature’s most remarkable spectacles — and that insider knowledge now shapes the way we design birding and wildlife itineraries for our travelers.



From multi-day wildlife expeditions in Denali and Katmai to birding tours timed to peak migration seasons, we build experiences that maximize your chances of unforgettable encounters — all with the comfort, expertise, and access you’d expect from a curated journey. And for those who want guaranteed sightings with educational depth, curated visits to the Alaska SeaLife Center, Raptor Center, or Wildlife Conservation Center are seamlessly woven into your trip.

Culture & Connection

To understand Alaska is to listen to its stories — and those stories begin with its Indigenous peoples, whose history here stretches back more than 10,000 years. Today, Alaska Native cultures continue to shape every part of the state, from language and art to ceremony and community.

We design deeply respectful cultural experiences that go beyond surface-level encounters: guided visits to the Alaska Native Heritage Center, interactive storytelling sessions, traditional dance and drumming performances, and private tours with Indigenous artists and Elders. We know how to connect you to the most meaningful stories and experiences along the way.

For travelers seeking deeper connection, we can even arrange village visits that offer a glimpse into traditional subsistence life. These moments of cultural exchange often become the most cherished part of the journey.

Landscapes & Natural Wonders

Alaska’s landscapes are legendary — and they’re best experienced up close. Hike through alpine valleys carpeted with wildflowers. Kayak past tidewater glaciers and floating icebergs. Ride the Alaska Railroad through wilderness few ever see. In winter, chase the ethereal glow of the northern lights, snowshoe through silent forests, or cheer at the ceremonial start of the Iditarod.

Nature here is not a backdrop — it’s the main event. And whether you prefer soft exploration or immersive adventure, we’ll tailor your experience so every moment in Alaska’s great outdoors feels as awe-inspiring as the views themselves.
