Go Wild in Alaska and Canada

Embark on the adventure of a lifetime as you cruise to the rugged shores of Alaska and Canada, where majestic animals roam wild amongst towering fjords and snow-capped mountains. Here, you can explore extraordinary national parks and immerse yourself in fascinating native culture.

SCENIC ALASKA

If you’ve chosen to explore the Last Frontier by cruise, you’ve made the right choice: many of Alaska’s most impressive sights are best seen from the water. Take Glacier Bay, for example, a sprawling national park that encompasses 3.3 million acres of ice-capped peaks, luscious rainforest and ancient glaciers. Keep your eyes peeled for whales breaching the glassy waters, brown bears fishing from the shore and giant hunks of ice calving off the glaciers. A scenic cruise through Glacier Bay will likely be a highlight of your Alaskan voyage – just be sure to pick a ship that has a spacious observation deck!

GOLD RUSH TOWNS

Cruise to the quaint towns lining Alaska’s Inside Passage and feel as though you’ve travelled back in time. In fact, tiny Skagway still looks as it did during the height of the Klondike Gold Rush, which was well over 100 years ago. Ride an old-time tram along historic Broadway Street to discover some of the town’s best-preserved buildings, including the oldest hotel in Alaska. Meanwhile, keen fishers should add the misty town of Ketchikan to their radar. Known as the ‘Salmon Capital of the World’, here you can embark on an adventure fishing cruise or taste various local fish delicacies at the many restaurants lining the town’s colourful streets. Ketchikan is also home to the world’s largest collection of Native American totem poles. For an insight into Alaskan Native culture, this is the town to visit.

CANADIAN ROCKIES

Glacier-fed lakes, snowy mountainscapes and evergreen forests all await in the Great White North. Pair your Alaskan cruise with a land tour through Canada to double the outdoor fun. Perhaps Canada’s most famous destination is the Rocky Mountains, where you’ll find the national parks of Banff and Jasper. Here, outdoor adventure reigns supreme, so be sure to partake in popular activities, like canoeing across the mirror-like Lake Louise, catching the Banff Gondola for sweeping mountain views and exploring the iconic Columbia Icefield on an all-terrain vehicle. Plus, don’t forget to spend some time in the charming towns of Banff and Jasper themselves, both of which appear straight out of a fairy tale.

Whether you’re a keen wildlife watcher, an avid hiker or just simply love the crisp air of nature, Alaska and Canada are tailor-made for unforgettable experiences. Explore the best of these two fiercely beautiful destinations with our exclusive cruise and tour packages.
