2. Get In Touch

This is where we get to know your group and hear what you’re envisioning for your Alaska adventure. We’ll talk through what you’d like to see and do, answer your questions, and start shaping your ideal trip aboard Elysium.

3. Hop on a Call With Us

4. Book Your Trip

Once you’re ready to move forward, your 50% deposit secures your dates. ACH is preferred, but we’re happy to accept credit cards with a 3% processing fee. The remaining balance is due 60 days before departure.

Once your trip is booked, we’ll be in touch with everything you need to start getting ready. We’ll share packing suggestions, travel recommendations, and information to help you prepare for your time aboard Elysium. We’ll also work with you along the way to make sure we have what we need to make your trip a great fit for your group.

Tip: Southeast Alaska is best experienced when you’re flexible. Weather and wildlife can change plans in the most beautiful ways. We’ll make sure your days are filled with unforgettable moments.

Cancellation Policy: All deposits are non-refundable, as each trip reserves M/Y Elysium exclusively for your group. We do understand that life happens. If you need to cancel, we’re happy to rebook your expedition later in the same season (if available) or roll it forward to the following season. Refer to our refund policy for more information.

Wanna skip all that and book a planning call directly?

Why We Do It This Way

We don’t like cookie-cutter trips or automated bookings.
Every expedition aboard Elysium is customized for the people on it-your interests, your pace, your way of vacationing.

By connecting personally before you book, we can:

  • Learn about your group, your goals, and your must-sees.

  • Build an itinerary that fits you instead of forcing you into a preset schedule.

  • Offer honest advice about weather, wildlife, and the best times to explore certain areas.

  • Make sure you feel confident, cared for, and excited before you ever step aboard.

This approach takes a little more time, but it’s what allows us to deliver the kind of once-in-a-lifetime journey you’ll remember forever.
