With a wealth breathtaking views and peaks, a myriad of islands, national parks, active volcanoes, three million plus lakes and half the planet's glaciers, this beautiful and remote wonderland is a very unique cruise holiday experience. From the incredible sparkling summit of Mt McKinley, North America’s tallest mountain peak, to the awe inspiring brown bears of the National Park in the south, Alaska is a destination for anyone with a sense of adventure. Head to the capital of Alaska, Juneau, to see firsthand the incredible sight of thousand-year old huge glaciers melting before your very eyes, or if you feel up to it, you can kayak to the picturesque backdrop of the huge icebergs in Prince William Sound. This is also a destination for visitors to get involved in somewhat unusual activities, such as dog sledding through the arctic north’s wilderness or whale-watching in the southeast.
