Here's our list of some of the most important things to see in Alaska & the Yukon.  We would love to help you integrate these into your itinerary.

  1. Denali National Park and Mt. McKinley - this incredible park and 20,320 ft wonder is one of the top reasons people travel to Alaska.  Make sure you have enough time to experience the park, that you overnight inside the park and that you travel as far into the park as you can.
  2. Glacier Bay National Park - this incredible display of glaciers with a picturesque backdrop is the other top reason that people travel to Alaska.  Again, make sure you have enough time to experience these beautiful glaciers and that there's room to see them from your ship.
  3. The Land - As the beloved naturalist, John Muir once said, "To the lover of pure wildness, Alaska is one of the most wonderful countries in the world."  From the glaciers of the Inside Passage to Denali and its incredible wildlife, and from the gold rush hisotry and authentic wilderness of the Yukon to the Land fo the Midnight Sun, be sure to take as much in as you can during your stay.
  4. Turnagain Arm - south of the Cook Inlet, the body of water on which Anchorage rests, you'll find these dramatic shorelines, enveloped in Chugach State Park.  It's one of the most beautiful scenes you will find.
  5. The Pipeline - Crossing three mountain ranges and over 800 rivers and streams, the 800-mile-long Trans Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS) is one of the world's largest pipeline systems. The pipeline in Prudhoe Bay on Alaska’s North Slope, TAPS stretches through rugged and beautiful terrain to Valdez, the northernmost ice-free port in North America.
