Alaska & the Yukon
Journey through the spectacular landscapes of Alaska and the Yukon on an adventure filled with breathtaking scenery, fascinating history, and the opportunity to see wildlife in their natural habitat. Cruise Prince William Sound for views of towering glaciers while watching for eagles, whales, porpoises, seals, and mountain goats. Travel through some of the North's most dramatic landscapes, including views of Matanuska Glacier, the rugged peaks near Kluane National Park, and the scenic Top of the World Highway. Board the Alaska Railroad for a journey to Denali National Park and Preserve, home to Denali, North America's highest peak. With two nights there, you'll have time to explore on your own or choose from optional activities such as a wilderness tour to seek out elk, moose and bears, a sled-dog kennel visit, or a helicopter flightseeing excursion for breathtaking aerial views. Step back in time as you follow the story of the Klondike Gold Rush. Visit Skagway, where hopeful prospectors once began their journey north, stroll historic wooden boardwalks, and learn about the people who traveled the legendary Trail of '98 in search of fortune. In Dawson City, visit the site of the first major gold strike and enjoy an evening of ragtime music, can-can entertainment, and Gold Rush-era fun at Diamond Tooth Gertie's. From glacier-carved coastlines and mountain wilderness to Gold Rush history and frontier towns, this Alaska and Yukon adventure offers an unforgettable look at one of North America's last great frontiers.
