Established 1994Your Wish is Our Command
Your trusted Caribbean, all-inclusive, and cruise vacation specialists for over three decades.
Who We Are
At Alakazam Travel & Cruise, travel isn't just what we do — it's who we are. For more than three decades, we've turned vacation dreams into unforgettable reality for travelers across the country.
Our story began in 1994, when founder Janet Hornik turned a lifelong love of travel into a home-based business. By 1997, that passion had grown into a full storefront agency. When the internet transformed the industry and "everyone became their own travel agent," we evolved right along with it — embracing new technology while holding onto what sets us apart: genuine expertise, personal relationships, and the kind of insider knowledge you simply can't Google.
Today, Alakazam is home to some of the most trusted certified travel professionals in the business — a team whose combined experience spans dream honeymoons, destination weddings, family vacations, luxury cruises, group getaways, and completely custom itineraries tailored to your style and budget.
As a proud Sandals and Beaches Certified travel agency, we offer exclusive access to special rates and private suite deals at every Sandals Resort in the Caribbean and every Beaches Resort in Jamaica and Turks & Caicos. Our trusted travel partners also include Funjet Vacations, Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, Disney Destinations (including Disney Cruise Line), and Universal Studios Parks — giving us the connections to plan everything from Hawaiian beach getaways and Alaskan cruises to unforgettable European adventures, all with exclusive promotions, insider pricing, and trip protection you won't find booking on your own.
Whether you know exactly where you want to go or just need to get away, we'll handle every detail so you can focus on the memories. And if you share our passion for travel and dream of turning it into a career of your own, we'd love to hear from you.
Sincerely Yours in Travel,
Janet Hornik
Owner, Alakazam Travel & Cruise
