America’s Last Frontier: Looking to book Alaska in 2025? Now is the time to finalize your itinerary to enjoy wilderness and wildlife.

As a Fora Travel Advisor, I’m getting lots of requests to book Alaska for 2025.

The window to travel to Alaska is very short – mid May to mid September. Want to see the Northern Lights? Go in September. Want fewer crowds and gorgeous landscapes, do what I did in May 2024 and do a land tour with Royal Caribbean or Celebrity Cruises.

Not sure what kind of trip to plan, then set up a travel consultation with me to discuss your options. I recommend you have 10 days to travel, choose a good playlist on Spotify and enjoy the scenery.

What else is hot this month? Planning that trip to New England. I often recommend visiting Portland in the “off season” (November – May), where you’ll enjoy lower hotel prices, the best meals and up and coming restaurants, and, as always, spectacular coastal views.

I started traveling at a young age, and now that I'm a parent, I'm sharing my love of travel with my kids. My favorite place to be is in an airplane or hotel.
