Alaska - Great For a Sailing Holiday |
 |
"The sailing season in Alaska runs from May to
September, with July and August the most popular months. May is best for
wildflowers and September is great for the fall foliage, but the weather may not
be too good. Sailing in Alaska is an adventure to experience. Aside from its
marvelous glaciers and fantastic fjords, the state has an awesome wildlife to
offer to its visitors. The Katmai National Park and McNeil River Falls, for
instance, has hundreds of brown bears. If you are interested in polar bears,
cruise your way around St. Matthew and Kuskokwim Delta. Sailing in Alaska
is an adventure to experience."

optional land tours that you can add on either before or after your actual

you have some wonderful pre- or post-cruise land Alaska land tour options. Two

Travel Alaska... An Adventure of a Lifetime |
 |
"So you're like John Locke of the TV series Lost
and simply (literally) dying for an adventure. Or maybe you're just bored to
death and you want to experience more of life. No need to travel across the
globe to taste adventure in the wilds of Africa or the rainforests of South
America. Why should you when you've got Alaska? Alaska. Most people believe that
Alaska, a name which comes from an Aleut word meaning "land that's not an
island" is simply tundra in the middle of nowhere because of it's distance from
the lower 48 states and because most of the stories you hear about it are
usually related to the cold and snow and so-called vast, desolate, open spaces.
But you thought wrong."

Visiting Skagway, Alaska on your Cruise Vacation |
 |
"Skagway is a charming stop on your Alaskan cruise,
which takes you back to the days of the gold rush. Most of downtown Skagway is
now part of the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park, and it has been
restored by the federal government as well as the people of Skagway to its
original unique beauty. Cruise ships dock just a short walk from downtown, and
it is quite easy to get around Skagway, since the town is flat, and the historic
sights are all located close together and near the cruise ship dock. You can't
miss the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park Visitors Center as you walk
into town. Here you will find photos and a movie about the sights."

White Pass and Yukon Route to the Klondike Gold Rush |
 |
"When my wife and I recently stepped off a cruise
ship in Skagway Alaska, we were excited to be revisiting some her family's
history. In 1897 her grandfather Jim and her great uncle Albert, joined almost
100,000 gold-rush prospectors who were going to the Klondike to search for gold.
They were among the 30,000 or so prospectors who actually reached the Yukon.
After my wife and I toured historic Skagway we then embarked on the most
fantastic train ride of our lives - The White Pass and Yukon Route or WP&YR. We
booked an all day excursion to Bennett Station British Columbia."
