Bears roam free, orcas ply the bays and Denali views reign.
From Glacier Bay on Alaska’s panhandle to Denali’s 6 million acres, this extraordinary 21-day tour takes in all eight of the state’snational parks. Wildlife includes puffins, whales, brown bears and king salmon; and there are endless hikes and nature photo ops. You’ll meet Inupiaq villagers, explore the confounding Kobuk Sand Dunes, pan for gold and walk on glaciers.
Navigate through the Kenai Fjords on a private chartered vessel, listening to the crash of calving icebergs and watching for orcas, before arriving at the secluded Fox Island, where a placid bay offers easy sea kayaking. In Denali National Park, head deep into the forest for a night of true seclusion; in Katmai National Park, watch crowds of bears feast on running salmon. It’s all part of a 13-day tour designed in conjunction with the World Wildlife Fund that brings to life Alaska’s top sights.
Paddle the frigid waters of the Lynn Canal, raft through the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve, and hike beneath Tlingit and Haida totem poles over six days of exploring Alaska’s Inside Passage aboard an intimate 62-passenger expedition ship. You’ll sail in the company of a renowned nature photographer, who will help you capture images worth printing.
An abundance of cultural treasures
Traveling across Europe opens your eyes to a world of unparalleled culture and history. It often seems impossible to choose between the Renaissance art of Florence and the Impressionist paintings of Paris; Germany’s Bavarian castles and the bustling multicultural London streets. The wealth of knowledge acquired in Europe is an asset of a lifetime – its only rivals being the people and food you’ll encounter along the way! Close proximity of individual countries makes it easy to incorporate any number of them into your trip, while each country is more than worthy of a focused, extended stay as you immerse yourself in the culture and communities.
The Possibilities Are Endless
Set to a backdrop of an impressive variety of landscapes, from lush tropical rainforests to the breath-taking Rocky Mountain range, North America offers a unique adventure for every traveler. Take a road trip along the Pacific Coast highway, zip-line through Canada’s temperate rainforests, or journey through Mexico’s Copper Canyon by train. The endless opportunities of the land will leave you wanting to discover more.
