"Alaska is a once-in-a-lifetime, bucket list destination with amazing scenery, wildlife and excursions," says Uf Tukel, Co-President of AlaskaCruises.com parent WMPH Vacations.  "We wanted our new site to communicate the grandeur of Alaska and help consumers find the best Alaska cruise vacation out of thousands of choices as well."

In addition to the new site design and navigation, AlaskaCruises.com included more content and photos about Alaska cruise tours, Alaska small ship cruises, and Alaska luxury cruises on 16 different cruise lines and tour operators.   Consumers can price, compare and book Alaska cruises through the desktop or mobile website.

WMPH Vacations consulted with San Diego-based SiteTuners to help design the consumer friendly user experiences for their websites.   The improvements better educate visitors about various Alaska cruise options and highlight AlaskaCruises.com achievements as an Alaska expert. 

With more than 4,000 Alaska cruise and land options, WMPH also implemented Expert Virtual Agent, an award-winning natural language search technology from Israel-based Evature, to make it easier to find specific Alaska cruise vacations.   Consumers can type or speak their Alaska travel parameters and EVA will return the most relevant Alaska cruise search results.

"Alaska is a complicated destination to book online.  We hope the new design of AlaskaCruises.com will make it easier for our customers to find the perfect vacation; but if they can't, we want them to know there is an expert available to help them." said Don Walker, Co-President of WMPH Vacations.
