"Cruising Alaska is about more than just moments. Cruising Alaska is about memories that last forever! Say Alaska and a variety of images and impressions come to mind: towering mountains, watchable wildlife, icy blue glaciers, endless wilderness, vibrant Native culture, leaping salmon, hardy outdoors; "Alaska: America's last frontier" Cruising Alaska gives you a first-row ticket to the best of nature - including fjords, wildlife and mountains galore. Now is the time to reconsider your budget, so it will match your expectations; it's not worth the price to come all the way out to Alaska if you can't experience the range of Alaska's activities, so consider kayaking and hiking trips. We took a trip on the White Pass & Yukon Railway from Skagway up to Canada and kayaked on a pristine lake, literally in the middle of nowhere. It was amazing! Alaska is a place to take on activities you wouldn't otherwise consider back home. Go for it. The memories will last forever. - Raye & Marty Trencher

there is something exciting to do for everyone."

An Alaska Cruisetour...where a balcony cabin and a spectacular train ride become

front-row seats for one of the most breathtaking shows in nature. How magical!

Why add a land tour to your cruise?

To fully experience Alaska, you'll want to discover its interior from Anchorage to Fairbanks with Denali National Park in between. On an Alaska cruise, you'll journey along the southeast coastline of Alaska, experiencing its glaciers, nature's ever-changing and fragile masterpieces. But on an Alaska Land & Sea Vacation you'll uncover so much more, by combining a seven-night Alaska sailing with a small-group tour into its magnificent inland destinations. Stay in the finest available lodges and embark on remote roads and railways in deluxe transportation. Visit Glacier Bay National Park, and stay a minimum two nights in or near Denali National Park and take the Tundra Wilderness Tour through Denali. And, if you are traveling south of Anchorage, the Kenai Fjord National Park boat tour is a must.
