CAPTIVATING ALASKA BY LAND AND SEA
Alaska is a land of towering snow-peaked mountains, miles-deep bluish glaciers, never-ending evergreen forests, countless whales and eagles, and a hard-edged beauty that defies even the most determined attempts to subdue it. A trip to Alaska
is an adventure, a journey of discovery.
Along the scenic Inside Passage, a 1,000-mile stretch of waterway, cruise passengers marvel
at majestic glaciers, calving into deep, steely blue-hued waters where whales, porpoises and sea otters frolic. Bears, deer and other wild animals can be seen roaming along the densely forested shoreline, as bald eagles soar above. And with each turn of the bend yet another incredible view of mountains, sea and sky unfolds.
Each community in Southeast Alaska clings to its cultural heritage. In Ketchikan, ancestral home of the Tongas tribe of Tlingit, travelers find the world’s largest collection of totem poles. Museums and cultural centers provide native dancing, carving and artifact exhibits. Sitka unearths its Russian and Tlingit cultural roots at Sitka National Historical Park and at St. Michael’s Cathedral, which houses priceless icons. Skagway displays its colorful history at the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park, where wooden boardwalks and false-fronted
buildings still stand. Juneau, accessible only by sea, is easily recognized as a product of the 1800
Gold Rush. Mendenhall Glacier is Juneau’s most popular attraction. At approximately a half-mile wide, with ice 300 to
1,800 feet deep, this glacier is truly awe-inspiring.
The best Alaska
vacations combine a
cruise with an equally
memorable adventure by
land. Both Princess Cruises
and Holland America Line
offer luxury glass-domed rail car transportation to Denali National Park, as well as exceptional
lodge accommodations within the park.
Denali is a true wilderness experience. Home to Mount McKinley, it one of the best places on earth to view animals in their natural habitat. Travelers are certain to catch sight of foraging caribou, Dall sheep, foxes, moose, wolves and brown bears. Learn about Denali in-depth
on a natural history tour or tundra wilderness excursion.
Land adventures are also a wonderful way to see Alaska’s major population settlements – Anchorage and Fairbanks. Land journeys invite travelers to venture off the beaten path, showcasing destinations such as Dawson City in the heart of gold rush country, and Whitehorse, where you can follow the route of Klondike gold stampeders and see historic Minto.
