"I just wanted to let you know that we just got back
from our Alaska trip....... It was Great! Took lots of
pictures (which we haven't had time to look at yet), ate
and ate and ate on the ship. I think it can be summed up
by quoting the tour director..... "This is NOT a
vacation, it IS an adventure" Thanks so much for the
wonderful dinner at the Pinnacle Grill. The food and
service was superb! All of us really enjoyed it! Thanks
again, for all your help in coordinating our trip" --
May 2010 mini-group party of 8

"Thanks for arranging our trip. It went very
well. Everyone had a great time from the 5 year
old to the 70 year olds... We saw whale, fish
spawning, seals etc. Some did a zip line and
loved that. We took the train and one family
took the helicopter to the glacier.
 Each
did their own thing. The glaciers were
impressive. Holland America was very good. Each
evening the stewards had a different animal out
of towels, the food was good, resources fine....
We had good weather, rarely rained and we were
generally the only ship in port most places, so
it was not too crowded. The ship was so big we
had to arrange to all meet in the evening or
else we may never have seen each other! I had
gotten us all the same t-shirt and we had our
pictures taken in it."
Thanks again for the help. I certainly will
recommend your company.

Alaska where walls of ice stretch 5,000 feet to shake hands

You don't want to miss Alaska's
biggest attraction.
Denali National Park
When you plan your
Alaskan vacation, do you plan to encounter a striking landscape, a
place so expansive that it shelters more than six hundred-fifty
species of flowering plants and thirty-seven mammal species?
 |
|
Do you
envision your Alaskan tour to include a dizzying six
million acres filled with large caribou, moose, and
grizzly bears, and offset with startlingly small
flowers, miniaturized to suit Alaska's short growth
season?
Of
course we're talking about
Denali National Park,
the focal point of
an
Alaska Cruise Tour.
National Geographic Denali National Park Video

Some unique things you can choose to do in and
around the park...
 Take
a helicopter ride to view breathtaking
Mt. McKinley's from the air!
Kayak,
raft or jet boat down crystal clear
lakes and rivers!
Drive
a team of Alaskan sled dogs!
Charter

Extraordinary Summer Fares!
An Alaska Cruise tour offers a cruise voyage, land-based
lodging, and rail travel all in one itinerary. So, you can
get the most out of your Alaskan adventure -- by land and
sea. The best of both worlds!
Combine the 7-day Voyage of the Glaciers cruise with a 3 to
8 night stay on land. You just have to decide where you want
to go.
Summer's the best time of year to explore Alaska's
spectacular wonders — from Ice Age glaciers and frontier
towns to miles of unspoiled scenery. And the bays and
mountains of Alaska are best appreciated from your elegant
cruise ship, domed railcars and deluxe motorcoaches. Plus,
take advantage of great fares for 3rd and 4th guests.

Guest Comments
Our May18th Coral Princess Copper River Alaska Cruise
tour was great! Thanks for all your help, especially for
getting us that bump-out balcony starboard room. We had
warm sunny days for almost the entire trip. The whole
Alaska itinerary and our
excursions were perfect. We had such a good cruise that
we think it will be difficult to find another that we
will enjoy as much as we did this one, but we decided to
try anyway. Can you make some recommendations for us?
Preferably something kind of adventurous. Thanks again.

"Thrill to white thunder in Glacier Bay, marvel at
sunlight at midnight and close-ups of whales, eagles and
caribou. Delight in Mt. McKinley's majesty and meadows
carpeted with wildflowers. Amid unsurpassed grandeur and
serenity, the true wilderness of Denali is calling."
Catch sight of a humpback
whale or wolf pups frolicking in the snow. Alaska is as
rustic and romantic as one could ever imagine.
