How to Book
Booking a private cruise through Southeast Alaska is a big decision—and we want it to be the best one you make this year.
At Elysium Expeditions, every trip is custom-tailored to you and your people. That’s why we take a different approach to booking than most companies. Before we finalize any trip, we want to speak with you directly—to hear what you're hoping for, answer your questions, and make sure our expedition is the right fit.
-
Start by visiting our [Inquiry Page]. There, you'll find a simple form to begin the process. Select your preferred trip dates using the dropdown calendar and give us a bit of information about your group. You’re not committing to anything yet—this just opens the conversation.
-
After you submit your inquiry, Lydia and Dustin will personally reach out by email or phone. We’ll talk about:
– What kind of experience you're hoping for
– Who’s coming along (family, friends, couples, etc.)
– Any must-see places or can't-miss activities
– Dietary needs or special considerations
– How we can help create the trip of a lifetime -
Once we’ve chatted and landed on the right dates and details, we’ll move ahead with confirming your trip. A 50% deposit holds your spot, and the remaining balance is due a week before departure. We’ll send you easy ACH payment instructions—no extra fees, just a smooth process.
-
Once your trip is confirmed, we’ll send detailed packing tips, travel suggestions, and everything you need to know before arriving. From start to finish, we’re here to make the process easy, welcoming, and aligned with your sense of adventure.
Why we take this approach
Elysium Expeditions is not a one-size-fits-all tour. We offer a truly immersive and personal Alaskan experience, hosted by people who know and love this place deeply. Our conversations before booking ensure that:
– You're getting a trip that matches your vision
– We’re the right crew to bring it to life
– You feel taken care of from the very beginning
If you have questions or aren’t sure which dates might work best, feel free to [contact us directly]. We’re always happy to help. We can’t wait to share this wild, mystical land with you.
