JOIN US ON A HOLIDAY TO Alaska

Home to some of the most impressive natural landscapes in North America, Alaska offers the chance to explore places that few people have ventured to.

Cruise ships glide along serene waters pierced by dramatic glaciers, national forest land and parks that teem with wildlife such as bears, wolves and eagles. For a dip into history of the region's prospector migration, Klondike Gold Rush National Park is the perfect stop, offering visitors an insight into the impact that gold had on the land. No other place offers such a true taste of the great outdoors and life in the Arctic Circle: Alaska holidays are hard to beat.

As the largest state in the US, Alaska offers plenty to do and see. Kayaking, dog sled rides, hiking and fishing are among the most popular activities, as well as visiting the region's many wonderfully photogenic destinations like Glacier Bay National Park and Kenai Fjords National Park. Unwind at a secluded wilderness lodge or visit the attractions in the cities of Anchorage, Fairbanks and Juneau, the latter of which is only accessible by air or sea. Our Canada and Alaska tours also offer the chance to ride on the renowned Rocky Mountaineer, a scenic railway line that allows you to explore the Canadian Rockies and Lake Louise from the comfort of a train seat.
