Alfred Willis - Certified Master Cruise Counsellor & Premium Vacation Advisor for Couples & Groups

Hello, I’m Alfred Willis Jr.—but most people call me Big AL. I’m the proud owner of StarGaze Vacations LLC, a veteran-owned travel agency I founded in 2016. My mission is simple: to make planning premium vacations stress-free, personalized, and unforgettable.

Over the past 30 years, I’ve traveled across 5 continents, cruised the oceans, and stayed in some of the Caribbean and Mexico’s most luxurious resorts. These experiences give me first-hand insight that I use to design vacations tailored for couples, families, premium and luxury travelers, and groups of all sizes.

What Makes My Service Unique

• Premium custom service – I listen carefully and design vacations around your vision.
• Trusted vendor partnerships – I work directly with top cruise lines, airlines, and resort brands, securing exclusive perks and value.
• Modern technology & secure practices – Planning, payments, and bookings are simple, streamlined, and safe.
• Stress-free process – I handle the details so you can focus on the experience.
• Client-first philosophy – My role is to be your advocate, before, during, and after your trip.

My Professional Expertise

I’m proud to be a CLIA Master Cruise Counsellor (MCC) and Accredited Cruise Counsellor (ACC), credentials that reflect both training and hands-on cruise planning experience. I also hold certifications with leading brands such as MSC Cruises, Norwegian, Celebrity, Virgin Voyages, AMResorts, and Rocky Mountaineer. In addition, I earned an A.S. in Travel Marketing (Dean’s List, 2019) and continue advanced studies in travel and group management.

My specialties include:

• Luxury Cruises – ocean, river, and premium sailings
• All-Inclusive Resorts – honeymoons, couples’ retreats, and family vacations
• Group Travel – reunions, non-profit fundraisers, and celebration trips
• Custom Vacation Planning – unique itineraries designed around your dreams
• Destination Expertise – Caribbean, Hawaii, North America, and Australia

A Unique Advantage – Travel Fundraising 

One of my proudest achievements is developing a proven fundraising program for non-profit organizations. This initiative combines meaningful travel experiences with year-long donation campaigns—helping churches, charities, and community groups raise funds with zero out-of-pocket expenses.

Why Clients Choose Me 

My clients know I don’t just book trips—I provide peace of mind. Whether it’s rebooking flights during delays, navigating cruise line policies, or offering insider recommendations, I stay with you from start to finish. Many tell me they wouldn’t have made it through unexpected travel challenges without my support

A Personal Note

Travel is more than my profession—it’s my passion. I love helping couples celebrate milestones, families create lifelong memories, and groups share unforgettable adventures. Every trip is a story, and I’d be honored to help you write your next one.
