ABOUT SEAS, SUMMITS, & SKIES TRAVEL

Thoughtful planning for meaningful journeys.

Travel isn't one-size-fits-all. Some travelers want to see glaciers and wildlife in Alaska. Others dream of Norway's fjords, a European river journey, a family cruise, or time to discover a place at their own pace.

Our job is to help you sort through the possibilities, understand your choices, and build a trip that feels right for you. That means explaining the details clearly, researching the options carefully, and taking your questions seriously, whether you're planning your very first vacation or your next great adventure.

We welcome individuals, families, and groups, and we make accessibility an important part of the conversation from the beginning. We believe travel should create opportunities for discovery, connection, and memories worth bringing home.

MEET YOUR TRAVEL ADVISOR

Meet Mark Carpenter

I'm the founder of Seas, Summits, & Skies Travel, based in Decatur, Alabama. Before becoming a travel advisor, I spent more than a decade as an educator and over twenty years working in educational publishing. Those experiences taught me the value of good research, clear explanations, and listening to what people actually need.

My own love of travel has taken me from Alaska's breathtaking coastline to Norway's fjords and historic communities in Europe. I especially enjoy the stories behind the places we visit, the people we meet along the way, and those moments that never quite fit into a rigid itinerary.

Today, I bring that same curiosity to helping others travel. I enjoy comparing ships and destinations, finding the details that matter, and making complicated decisions feel manageable. I also create travel content to share practical tips, firsthand observations, and ideas for future adventures.

Whether we're discussing accessibility needs, travel insurance, stateroom choices, or a group vacation, I want you to feel informed and comfortable asking questions. My goal isn't simply to book a trip. It's to help you feel confident about the journey ahead.
