Alaska is all you are envisioning and more. Prepare to take in glorious sights. The massive glaciers, misty fjords, tranquil waterways, immense mountains, thriving rainforests and rugged tundra landscapes are home to scores of wildlife... all viewable from the comfort of your cruise ship or via exciting onshore excursions.
Misty Fjords
Sail past mammoth cliffs that rise out of the water and be awed by their sheer scenic beauty. Those who visit Misty Fjords feel closer than ever before to the untouched serenity of the natural world as they are surrounded by blue glacial lakes, tall waterfalls and snowcapped peaks. Keep a watchful eye out for bald eagles soaring overhead, black and brown bears foraging along the shore, Dall's porpoises riding the bow wave of the ship and harbor seals sunning themselves along the rocky ledges.
Anchorage
Alaska's largest city is a vibrant, eclectic metropolis with modern luxuries, natural wonders and a frontier spirit. The diversity of the city's residents means there are always a multitude of arts and cultural activities, dining options and events. Summer brings sunny days - and sunny nights - and mild temperatures. Savvy travelers know that Anchorage is the key to finding the best of Alaska, all in one place.
Hubbard Glacier
The longest river of ice in North America, the Hubbard Glacier is also one of the most active glaciers of its kind in Alaska. Traveling by ship gives the best view of this massive natural wonder. The glacier has vibrant blue coloring throughout and is 70 miles long and more than 6 miles wide. Listen as sheets of ice separate themselves from the glacier, known as "galloping," and crash into the sea with a loud crack that echoes for miles.
Sitka
Discover Sitka's charming island community rooted in Tlingit and Russian heritage. A true nature-lover's playground, Sitka's stunning mountain views are the perfect backdrop for top activities include hiking, biking, fishing, and a visit to Sitka National Historical Park's famous Totem Trail. You may just catch a glimpse of abundant wildlife, including whales, brown bears, deer, sea otters and the iconic bald eagle.
