"
Our trip was excellent. The room, with
the upgrades, was amazing! We saw many
eagles (bald and golden), one bear, many
whales, including one breach, seals, one
bear, one wolf, moose and carribou, and
many smaller animals.. If we travelled
during salmon run, we probably would
have seen more bear and eagles. The
scenery is to die for, the vistas
spectacular. The ship was great;
service, food, etc were all great.
Thanks for everything. "
There's nothing
else like it in
the world, an
Alaska cruise
tour with
Princess
Cruises. From
the incredible
glaciers and
charming Inside
Passage towns of
your voyage, to
stays in
dramatic
Princess
wilderness
lodges at Denali
National Park
and beyond, it's
certain to be
the land-and-sea
adventure you've
always dreamed
of. Click on the
link below for
information for
the land portion
of your cruise
tour.
It's important
to know when to
book an Alaska
Cruise or Cruise
tour
We are often
asked " Should I
book Now ( rates
are going up )
or should I Wait
( rates are
going down )?
The answer is
not that
straight
forward. First,
do you decide
just based on
price or if you
would rather
have your choice
of ship, cabin,
location onboard
and sailing date
or cruisetour?
So, lets say you
decide to wait
for that last
minute cruise or
cruisetour deal.
Last minute
cruise deals do
offer some great
prices on select
cruise sailings
and cruisetour
departures. In
early August you
can find some
remaining
bargains for the
last few
departures in
September.
However, if you
wait too long,
you may find the
ship is sold out
( except for
suites you
cannot afford,
or find what's
available is
over priced ).
Or, you may have
to pay more than
you expected
because those
early booking
deals you passed
over are long
gone.
Cruise lines
adjust prices
based on
available unsold
inventory. Price
adjusts occur
quite often,
sometimes daily.
so here's some
advice based on
an Alaska cruise
or Cruise etour... ALASKA
The Alaska
sailing season
is from May
through
September with
peak sailing
dates of July
and August,
priced the
highest.
Typically
balcony cabins
sell out 8 to 9
months in
advance. Unlike
the Caribbean in
Winter, there
are far fewer
ships that sail
Alaska in the
Summer. What books up
early:
Balcony cabins
and cruises
combined with a
land tour (
known as cruise
tours )
Southbound
cruises are more
popular than
Northbound
sailings. What's worth
waiting:
Cruises from
Seattle or
Vancouver that
offer Off peak
sailings in May
and September.
These are priced
lower than high
season sailings.
Glaciers, Denali & More On Every Land & Sea Vacation

be impressed."

At A Glance
What can you do on an Alaska Cruise and Cruisetour?
Ask an Alaska
visitor about
his or her trip
and you'll
likely hear
tales about the
state's exotic
and awe
inspiring
wildlife.
Chances are,
you'll be
regaled with
stories and
photos of the
encounters with
Alaska's
wildlife. And
who can blame
them? Pictures
of Alaska's
moose, bears,
caribou, bald
eagles, whales
and dozens of
other wild
species can be a
trip's best (and
most memorable)
souvenirs. For
those who cruise
Alaska by sea,
there's the
opportunity to
spot the
breathtaking
breach of a
humpback whale
or soaring
seabirds such as
puffins, terns,
gulls, eiders
and many others.

since 1975 in the Lower
48 states? Alaska

bear for every 21
people. Alaska is home
to magnificent glaciers,
giant halibut, hardy
outdoorsmen.... and lots
of moose. Alaska
has 39 mountain ranges.

"Our

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.
John &
Priscilla
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.

Well, it has
been 6 weeks
since our
family
Alaska
adventure!
What a
wonderful
trip.
Everything
from our
flights/connections
to every
other facet
of the trip
itself went
perfectly.
Your
expertise
and
suggestions
as well as
all the
arrangements
and
extensive
follow up
truly made
this a trip
of a
lifetime. We
can never
thank you
enough!!
As you know,
Jan and I
had been to
Alaska
previously
on an
escorted
tour and had
some idea of
what to
expect.
However,
with our
idea of
taking the
entire
family this
time (10
people), we
were a bit
more
concerned
that
everything
was thought
of ahead of
time.
When I found
your
internet
site while
researching
this trip, I
certainly
didn't
expect a
phone call
that very
night I
requested
info!
Your
intimate
knowledge of
Alaska and
suggestions
regarding
specifics
such as the
lodges, side
trips,
stateroom
preference,
etc, proved
invaluable
and really
made this
trip the
best.
We will
obviously
(and have)
recommended
your
organization
to anyone
wanting an
excellent
tour of
Alaska.
Attached is
a photo
taken on the
ship of our
family. It
should be
obvious we
are having a
great time.
The
highlight
(in my mind,
anyway ) of
the trip was
the zip line
adventure in
Juneau.
It was done
in a rain
forested
island
involving
multiple
stations and
a great
group of
guides.
The most
adventurous
of us
participated.
Another
highlight
was the
excellent
tour guide
and the
food. We
were
surprised at
how good the
food on the
land portion
of the trip
was.
Now my son
has to get
our grandson
to lose his
taste for
crab legs (
he ate them
3 nights in
a row)
Again,
thank you so
much for
arranging a
great trip
of a
lifetime for
our
family!!!

Mini-Group Rates
For as little as 6 guests, 3 cabins. Did
you know the most overlooked way to stretch your dollar is to
form your own Alaska cruise group. Traveling with family or
friends, can lower costs enough so you can travel even
when the economy is not that good.
Of course, most of us don't have the time - or
inclination - to make the calls and do the research for an
entire group.
It's a big job. However, booking a group
cruise is easy for a travel agent ...your agent can create a
package that works for you, while your group will realize
across-the-board savings from group discounts that your agent
discovers.

"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 upscale
restaurant dinner. The food and
service was superb! All of us really
enjoyed it! Thanks again, for all
your help in coordinating our trip"

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?
Denali National Park
See Denali National Park, Mt. McKinley
and the wildlife of Alaska.
Travel via scenic domed railcars; deluxe,
restroom-equipped motor coaches; Overnight at deluxe
“rustic” lodges; great wildlife and scenery only on
an Alaska cruise tour can you experience all that
Alaska has to offer.
Denali National Park
is located 240 miles north of Anchorage, and
encompasses 6 million acres of forests, tundra,
glaciers and mountains - that's larger than the
entire state of Massachusetts.
Yet only 90 miles of main road traverses the park,
leaving the moose, caribou, sheep and bears free to
roam a wide area of land untouched by man. Denali
National Park has long been a place of refuge for
those with the will to survive its rugged terrain.
Indeed, only the strongest plants flourish in this
world of sub-arctic wilderness. Species of mosses,
lichens, fungi, algae, and others spangle the slopes
and valleys of Denali. Deep pools of frost collect
just beneath the park's surfaces, and only the
thinnest sheen of topsoil thaws enough each year to
stimulate new life. But the fragile nature of the
region leads to continuous rebirth. New rivers can
spurt up in days and flowers bloom just in time to
serve as supper for hungry wildlife.
What's the best time of year to see Mt. McKinley and
visit Denali National Park?
Since in 1923 the Tundra Wilderness Tour takes
travelers on a 7-8 hour excursion into the park with
a certified driver-naturalist. The buses are newer
but the scenery is virtually unchanged.
The Tundra Wilderness Tour travels through Denali's
best wildlife-viewing habitat to capture stunning
Mt. McKinley views from Stony Hill, deep in the
park.
Tundra Wilderness Tour Highlights:
- 7 – 9 hours in length, 54 miles one
way into the park
- Great chance on spotting wildlife
- On a clear day, witness the granduer
of Mt. McKinley
- Light snack and hot beverage provided
- Tour makes stops every 90-minutes for
restroom breaks
- Bring your camera, extra film and
binoculars
- Advanced reservations highly
recommended
There are two general departure times
for
the Tundra Wilderness Tour.
AM Tours generally depart between 5:20AM
– 7:30AM.
PM Tours generally depart between 1:30PM
and 3:00PM.
During the early and late seasons, due to Denali
Park service guidelines, the Tundra Wilderness Tour may be
substituted with a 5- to 6-hour Teklanika Tour
INSIDERS ALASKA
If you like your scenery on a
spectacular scale, prepare to be amazed.
The glaciers, gorges, waterfalls,
forests and lakes are simply stunning
and when you factor in the wildlife –
brown bears and eagles, whales, sea
otters and more – and all the great
adventures you can have ashore, hey,
it’s like nowhere else on earth.

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.
John &
Priscilla
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.
Heard us on the radio?
