Home | Why Alaska?
Discover Alaska
The largest state in the USA, Alaska ‘The Last Frontier’ is a sparsely populated land of immense natural beauty. It is wondrous on an immense scale - At one-fifth the size of the lower 48 States, Alaska has 3 million lakes, over 3000 rivers, 17 of the USA’s 20 highest peaks, 100,000 glaciers and 15 national parks, preserves and monuments.
With a population of only 670,000, nature rules in Alaska; much of the coastline is wilderness, with snow-capped mountain peaks, immense glaciers, icebergs, magnificent whales, hulking bears, soaring eagles, fjords and even verdant rainforests. It offers unique experiences in unspoilt wilderness, spectacular cruising through the fjords of the Inside Passage, and frontier towns rich in gold rush history.
Its sense of undiscovered wilderness and promise of adventure is still as strong today as it was in the past, and having attracted thousands of pioneers in search of gold, fur, fishing, logging and oil, this 'Last Frontier' today lures travellers in search of an unspoilt beauty and close encounters with nature.
Ports of Call & Places of Interest
Not all ports are visited by every ship or on every land tour but all ports and points of interest can be reached on an Alaska Cruise holiday. Time in port varies, but it is generally sufficient to see what’s worthwhile. In the cruise season summer months, darkness doesn’t fall until 11pm in Alaska so sightseeing can be enjoyed well into the evening depending on your sail time.More Details
