Timing Is Everything:
The wide array of cruise lines and Alaska cruisetours
that are available create an equally large variety of
prices. The lowest fares tend to fall during the months
of May, and September, while prices rise substantially in June, July &
August. If you are flexible,
you can save money by
sailing during May and September.
Good Deals Go Fast:
There are Alaska cruises
in May as low as $649 per person for 7 days! Offered on
the ships of Princess and Holland America. Of course,
they are for an inside stateroom, but at these prices
they will go fast.
Great pre-and-post Alaska
cruise tour land vacations including lodges, sightseeing
tours, rail transportation and an Alaska cruise.
The options are endless. But your time in Alaska is not.
Call us. We can help you get the most out of your
Alaska adventure.
A cruise without a cruisetour? That's
like Alaska wild-berry jam without the wild....and the
berries.
Notes From The Great Outdoors
"We
just finished another incredible 14 day cruisetour
itinerary for 2009
. Now I'm getting ready to help a
couple decide which one of 68 cruises and cruisetours we offer.
I've already heard exciting chatter about our guests
seeing more of Alaska and really getting off the
beaten path. And believe me, between glacier
trekking, biking through Denali National park, and a
rail tour on the Wilderness Express, these folks are
going to be impressed."
Explorations
Coordinator
"We all had a wonderful trip. Our cabins had
balconies that were twice the size of most of the
others on the ship ( there are about 10 cabins on
aft section of the 7 th level that have large
balconies) and the weather was good enough that we
were able spend many hours outside enjoying the
sights. Helen, Jeff and I also enjoyed the land
tour, but the clouds prevented us from seeing Mt.
McKinley. We did see lots of bear and other
wildlife. We will have to take another trip in the
fall when the chances of seeing it are better. The
train trip to Denali was outstanding and our kids
and grandkids enjoyed the train trip to the ship
from Anchorage. Thanks again for all of your help."
The Chadsey
Group - Royal Caribbean Alaska Cruisetour #15 -
July 2008
Cruise Tip:
The weather in Alaska is unpredictable, so dress like an
onion! Go with the “layered” look so you can peel. Standing
in front of a Glacier is much like standing in front of your
freezer with the door open. Tuck a pair of light gloves in
your pocket!

An Alaska Cruise tour
is a chance to take a deeper
drink of this grand
landscape.
Journey by
rail and private motor coach and immerse yourself in the
Alaskan interior. Pull back the curtain on a vast
frontier that spans for a thousand miles in every
direction. Each day exposes a new layer of Alaska and a
new memory. Think of it as
the most meaningful trip
you've ever taken.
"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."

spectacular scenery.
There's nothing between you and
the wonders of Alaska when you step out onto an open-air
observation platform to take in the view.
|
Getting
to the wilderness of Denali is now quicker and
easier. Step off your cruise ship in Whittier
onto
.jpg) your
railcar and arrive at your wilderness lodge that
same afternoon. Or, on southbound itineraries,
leave the Denali area and enjoy a direct link to
your awaiting cruise ship in Whittier.
.jpg) Fewer
transfers and less time waiting makes for a more
relaxing and enjoyable Alaska vacation. More
Time at Denali. Wake up to the sights and sounds
of Denali National Park. You've reached
your destination nearly a full day earlier than
with any other cruise tour company. That means
more time to sit by the fire, linger over
grilled salmon and soak up the comfort of your
surroundings.

"Whales, sea lions, otters, eagles, bears and
an incredible diversity of seabirds can appear
seemingly from out of the blue. It's just one of
the thrilling aspects of Alaska - the
opportunity to observe a variety of wildlife in
their natural habitats"
From
Alaska's Inside Passage to
the majestic tip of
Mt. McKinley
to the jagged edge of
Glacier Bay,
Alaska is unlike any place else in the world.
That's why
the cruise lines have perfected the art
of Alaskan travel, from their luxurious cruise
ships that navigate the dramatic coastline to
their exclusive wilderness lodges that
comfortably put you at one with nature.
Choose
from a cruise only or perhaps, combine a
seven-day cruise with a four- to nine-day land
tour and explore
Denali National Park
,and
Glacier Bay.
Stay at custom-built wilderness lodges and take
a ride aboard their exclusive glass-domed
railcars.
Cruise tours
offer
the best of both worlds, combining a seven-day
cruise with a three- to eight-night stay on
land. All you have to do is decide where you'd
like to go.

You don't want to miss Alaska's
biggest attraction...
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 Cruisetour.
