Filed under Alaska Cruises

Alaska is a land without fences. Animals outnumber people, sunlight shines at midnight and nature reigns. Life is different. This northern frontier still boasts pristine landscapes, majestic wildlife and a coastline that is one of the most enthralling waterways in the world. Beyond Alaska's fortress-like glacier walls lie scenic ports of call, treasured national parks, and abundant wildlife. And, with more than 1,400 miles north to south and 2,400 miles east to west, it's truly a land of epic proportions.

Tour #1 and #2
These tours are perfect for those who have sailed on a 7 Day Alaska cruise before. Traveling through the Yukon and experiencing:
1. Whitehorse, Dawson City
2. 102 mile cruise on the Yukon River (The River of Gold!)
3. Fairbanks, Denali (with the 8 Hour Tundra Wilderness Tour) and Anchorage.
4. Guests also travel the entire rail route aboard the McKinley Explorer rail cars.
Tour #5
All of above plus a night in Skagway, Whitehorse and Denali! Plus an additional train ride on the White Pass and Yukon Railroad from Fraser to Car cross along beautiful Lake Bennett. This is the BEST, most comprehensive land program we offer in only 14 days! It also is the best value and best tour content.
Tour #11 and #12
My least favorite. For those who specifically are going by price and do not care about tour content. Please note that Denali overnight includes only the 3-4 hour Natural History tour.
Tour #13 and #14
Very good tour and very good value. Getting much better. However not the best, see below!
Tour #15 and #16
These are the bread and butter tours! Additional night stays in all the best places. Best Value and Best Tour Content!!!!!!
Tour #17 and #18
How do we take tour 15/16 and make it better??? Add a Kenai Fjords Cruise and overnight in Seward! The ultimate tour for those who want it all. One of my favorites!
Tour #25 and #26
The BEST tour for guests who are truly short on time. 11 Days but all the best! This tour does not visit Fairbanks, but what you get instead is better! Add an additional night in Denali AND the 8 Hour Tundra Wilderness Tour. I highly recommend this tour for guests short on time.
