Known as the ‘Last Frontier’, Alaska provides unlimited opportunities for travelers to explore rugged scenery, small villages, and stunning wildlife for an inspiring and out-of-this-world vacation. From the breathtaking sights of Hubbard Glacier to the pioneering spirit of Juneau, the gold-rush past of Skagway, and the traditional totem poles of Ketchikan, Alaska is a land of natural wonders.

On a cruise to Alaska travelers can expect an entirely different lifestyle both on and off the ship that encompasses food, art, sights, activities, and more.

• Grab binoculars and catch a glimpse of exotic wildlife including bald eagles, brown bears, wolf pups, sea lions, humpback whales, salmon jumping though breaking waters, and more.
• Marvel at Glacier Bay, a 3.2 million-acre National Park abundant with glaciers and wildlife or travel to Lynn Canal with copious waterfalls, mountains, and scenic forests, and see the 16 colossal glaciers that make up the College Fjord in Prince William Sound.
• Take a scenic journey on White Pass and Yukon, (the ‘Scenic Railway of the World’) or race across a glacier in an exhilarating dogsled ride and mountain-bike the famous Passage of Ketchikan.
• Indulge in delicious local cuisine including smoked salmon, wild berries, and even reindeer sausage.
• Enjoy a heritage that is known for unique totem carving and try your hand at old-world crafts including intricate woven baskets, and ivory, jade, animal skin, and bone carvings.
