Alaska
Alaska is an incredible state where wildlife outnumbers people
and the scope of the landscape is breathtaking. Grizzly bears and
moose wander freely in the wilderness and icebergs crash together
in the tidewater.
An Alaskan cruise is one that should be carefully planned to
make sure you don't miss a single thing this amazing destination
has to offer! Every port of call is full of history, culture and
spectacular sights. 'The Great Land' is divided into five regions;
Inside Passage, Southcentral, Interior, Far North and
Southwest.

Millions of years ago, glaciers shaped Alaska's Inside Passage
which now boasts fjords full of wildlife. Here you can watch sea
lions, eagles and whales basking in their natural habitat.
Southcentral is home to half of Alaska's population. Here's
there's plenty of exhilarating activities such as fishing for
rainbow trout and salmon and hiking, which takes priority over the
rush of life as we know it. With all the advantage of the
wilderness but the safety of the roads which link it together,
Southcentral serves as the gateway into the wild.
Here is home to the famous brown bears of Alaska, who roam
amongst 240 species of birds. Katmai National Park was created by
the eruption of the Novarupta volcano in 1912, and reaching 1000
miles out to sea towards Asia are the Alaskan owned Aleutian
Islands.
The winter's Northern Lights and the summer's midnight sun are
major attractions for cruisers. Known as Alaska's heartland, the
Interior is home to the grizzly bear and herds of caribou.
The highway between Fairbanks and Anchorage provides the
perfect viewing spot to see all the wildlife this breathtaking
region has to offer.
Alaska's Far North region is home to the Inupiat Eskimos who
have preserved their lifestyle and history from generation to
generation. Its history is rich with the Gold Rush days and the
Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve are natural wonders
not to be missed.
