THE BEST OF

Best of Alaska 2020DAY 1 - DEPART HOME ARRIVE SEATTLEYou will be met by your escort Allen Sears and start your Alaska Dream Vacation.

DAY 2 - SEATTLE TO VANCOUVER - BOARD THE CORAL PRINCESSToday we drive to the beautiful city of Vancouver where we meet our ship. But not before stopping by Seattle’s world famous Space Needle.

DAY 3 - INSIDE PASSAGEYou will spend your day cruising the famous inside Passage. This is a cruise day, so relax and enjoy the grandeur. Alaska’s Inside Passage contains a rich abundance of wildlife and scenery. Whales migrate along these tranquil waterways: breathtaking waterfalls and soaring rock cliffs mark your progress along this traditional sailing route first charted by Captain George Vancouver in the late 1700’s. Vast reaches of old-growth forest stretch from the coastal mountain ranges to the sea, and provide a home to a wide range of wildlife.

DAY 4 - ICY STRAIT POINTHoonah, meaning “village by the cliff,” is home to the Huna Tlingit who have occupied this area for thousands of years.In 1912, Hoonah Packing Co: built a large cannery here. After only five years of operation, the cannery at Icy Strait Point turned out 152,505 cases of one-pound cans of salmon, the largest pack ever achieved in Alaska.Today, Hoonah is home to nearly 750 residents. Visitors will be intrigued by its rich Native heritage, opportunities to see wildlife and the vast wilderness that surrounds this unique village. Icy Strait’s waters have yielded record-breaking halibut and salmon catches and provide summer-long access to all five species of salmon. Chichagof Island, on which Icy Strait Point is located, supports one of the largest concentrations of brown bears in the world and sightings are common.

DAY 5 - JUNEAUSome 30,000 people live in Juneau, Alaska’s capital and its total area makes it the biggest town, in size, in North and South America and the second largest in the world. Today

Juneau is not only famous for gold and government, but also for its breathtakingly beautiful glaciers and stunning views of both water and mountains. The state capital is a long narrow picturesque city, squeezed between the Gastineau Channel and mountains soaring just a few hundred feet from the waterfront. After sightseeing take a break at the historic Red Dog Saloon.

DAY 6 - SKAGWAYIn 1896, when the first gold strike was reported, adventurers flocked here by the thousands, and a city was born. Today you see the same worn boardwalks, false-fronted buildings and old-time saloons. Skagway was known to thousands of hopeful gold rushers as the gateway to the gold fields. Although it boasted the shortest route to the Klondike, it was far from being the easiest. Today Skagway retains the flavor of the gold rush era, especially on Broadway, with its false-front buildings, and in the Trail of ‘98 Museum, with its outstanding collection of memorabilia. Home of the renowned White Pass and Yukon Railroad, a must-do shore excursion for both history and photo buffs.

DAY 7 - GLACIER BAYDiscovered by John Muir in 1879, Glacier Bay National Park & Preserve encompasses 3.2 million acres. While in Glacier Bay, a National Park Ranger will point out the many wonders of the region, including wildlife such as humpback whales, harbor seals, gulls and Arctic terns. Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve is considered by many the highlight of any Alaska Cruise. We spend today cruising through these pristine waters.

DAY 8 - COLLEGE FJORDSituated at the top of the gulf of Alaska, Prince William Sound is surrounded by lofty mountains and indented with dozens of glacier-carved fjords. These fjords are home to Alaska’s greatest concentration of tidewater glaciers. Deep within Prince William Sound is College Fjord, home to 16 glaciers named for the Ivy League colleges that sponsored the Harriman Expedition in 1899. DAY 9 - WHITTIER / ANCHORAGE / TALKEETNAThe City of Whittier, Alaska, is located in Prince

William Sound, a fjord at the head of Passage Canal. Established as a strategic military facility during the Second World War, Whittier’s Ice-free port remains a focal point for marine activity and freight transfer from sea train barges serving South Central Alaska. Upon arrival in Whittier we’re met by our private motor coach. Enjoy a scenic drive along the Palmer Highway, past Turnagin Arm to Anchorage, with a stop for lunch and free time to explore. We continue to the quaint town of Talkeetna, one of the most idyllic spots in all of Alaska, where Mt. McKinley looms majestically in the background.

DAY 10 - TALKEETNA / DENALIToday we board the Alaska Railroad’s “DENALI STAR” and travel from Talkeetna to Denali National Park. Narrated by Alaskans en route, your journey allows free run of all regular, dome and dining cars of the Alaska Railroad. We arrive at the park entrance in the afternoon, where you’re free to experience the various programs offered by the park.

DAY 11 - DENALI - FAIRBANKSCovering 5.6 million acres, Denali covers the entire central portion of the Alaska Range. This morning begins with a wildlife tour deep into the park where Alaska’s large mammals roam the tundra. View moose, grizzly bears, mountain sheep, caribou and hopefully, a close-up view of Mount McKinley. Upon your return to park headquarters, our chartered motor coach leaves mid-afternoon for Fairbanks. This evening enjoy the Alaska Salmon Bake and the “Golden Heart Revue” at the Palace Theater and Saloon.
