Featured Article

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.    

Read the complete Denali Article     Denali National Park Video    Alaska's Amazing Wildlife

 

Perhaps it is the possibility of witnessing brown bears, caribou, wolves, moose and Dali sheep in their own natural habitat that has drawn you here.

Sparkkling rivers and ancient fjords - The Kenai Peninsula, Alaska's playground.

Flew over glaciers by helicopter, found a nugget while panning for gold..And I thought we were indoor people.

"From immensely beautiful landscapes to the simplest yellow wildflower - we offer insights on all the many wonders of Alaska where walls of ice stretch 5,000 feet to shake hands with the sky. The murmur

of prospectors haunt old-world shops and saloons. Totem poles scowl over temperate rain forests

while salmon jump through crisp mountain streams."

Chicago Tribune

"Book Alaska cruises early,

ships are crowded"

Cruisetours to Denali each feature one of three exciting tours of the park:


The Discover Denali Experience is an intimate introduction to the sub Arctic and Denali National Park. A naturalistic presentation, followed by a film, will describe the natural and cultural history of

the sub-arctic ecosystem in and around Denali National Park. You will also enjoy a short guided walk on the park's trails.


On the Denali Natural History Tour, you'll discover the beauty of taiga forests and explore miles of rolling tundra, searching for wildlife. And you won't miss a thing, because driver-guides will explain the region's natural history and geology.


The Tundra Wilderness Tour is an excellent way to spot the wildlife Alaska is famous for: such as moose, bear, wolves, caribou, and Dall sheep just to name a few. The tour focuses on scouting

out the wildlife in the park, in addition to explaining the historical and geographical background

of the area.

or Natural History Tour, click on these cruise line names...

"What will you see? A massive glacier sending ice floes seaward? A pod of humpback whales surfacing through the morning mist to get a better look at your ship? A herd of caribou grazing on the tundra? On any given day in Alaska, so many sensations await you. You only need to embark on a cruise or cruisetour to begin your voyage of discovery."

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.

Add reserved seating, plenty of legroom and friendly, attentive service and the number one choice for an Alaska cruisetour is clear: Princess Cruises.

Helpful Hints

Plan Ahead:  2009 Alaska Cruises and Cruisetours are now on sale   Reserve the best staterooms, balcony views  and tours now. Get your best savings by booking early!

 

Timing Is Everything: The wide array of cruise lines and Alaska cruises 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.

 

The Layered Look: 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!

"In the summer months, explore the breathtaking landscape by hiking, rafting or fishing.  Discover Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve, an untouched 8.3 million acres of Alaskan wilderness—or explore the Arctic Refuge, where populations of birds,

moose, caribou and other wildlife roam free. In the winter months, enjoy the spectacular evening colors of the aurora borealis

or bundle up and climb aboard or a dog mushing excursion."

Noteworthy Comments From Our Guests

Our service revolves around you from the moment you engage us.  Because our business is predicated on serving you and to building a long-term business relationship that will go on for years, our philosophy is to always provide you the highest level of service. Our guest comments are our best way of knowing if we are living up to or exceeding your expectations. Your comments tell us how well a job we are doing and where we can improve."Just a note to thank you for your help in booking the ( Alaska ) Princess Cruise tour for next year. I have been doing some internet searching of info regarding the cruise tour and the ship and it becomes increasingly obvious to me that you have taken excellent care of us. Your knowledge of the advantage of a Port side room for the southern trip and your ability to get us in the mid-ships bump out area for our cabins looks to be great. I was not knowledgeable regarding the bump outs on the Coral Princess until reviewing some cruise review sites and the reviews I have read regarding being in the bump out area and on the A and B decks makes you look brilliant and makes us look lucky to have dealt with you. I found you guys pretty much by the luck of the draw on a Goggle search. At the time of my first e-mail I had no idea who you were, where you were located, how legitimate you were or what your level of expertise may be. Let me say that at this point I am very happy I found you and appreciate how well you have served us."

"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 2010

 

Alaskans suggest: "Take a cruise first," says Jennifer Thompson of the Alaska Travel Industry Association. "We have 11/2 million visitors a year, and 900,000 of them come on cruise ships. It's a phenomenal way to introduce yourself to Alaska. Wildlife, glaciers, majestic mountains. It's all there".
