Alaska Marine Highway Ferry Liners
The state ferry liner system, the Alaska Marine Highway, is the easiest, most enjoyable and most flexible way to explore coastal areas. The ferry liner network stops at all of the same towns as the big cruise ships plus many other small and interesting destinations. By way of example, the big cruise ships are too large to navigate some of the most beautiful stretches of the Inside Passage such as the “Wrangell Narrows” and “Sitka Narrows”. These routes are part of the regular scheduled services of the Alaska Marine Highway. We have also found that the Alaska Marine Highway provides much greater flexibility than big cruise ships. In the case of cruise packages, you are required to stay with the same vessel for the entire trip, whereas the ferry liner system allows clients to stopover for a night or two in an interesting town and then pick up another ferry service and continue their holiday. Cabins can be booked on most vessels. Facilities include restaurants which serve inexpensive meals, bars and large comfortable viewing lounges. The atmosphere on board is relaxed and informal. During the course of the journey you should keep a close eye out for wildlife including whales, dolphins, sea otters, bald eagles and even bears. Experienced rangers normally provide free lectures and assist with wildlife spotting.

Rail Travel
The Alaska Railroad links towns and areas in the South Central and Interior regions of Alaska including Anchorage, Denali and Fairbanks. The award winning service includes world class scenery, comfortable seats, dome viewing cars and knowledgeable tour guides. The Alaska Railroad is an ideal way for travelers to visit the magnificent Denali National Park. We generally recommend a two night stopover at Denali in order to ensure a full day is available for wildlife viewing and sightseeing within the Park.

The Whitepass and Yukon Railroad is known as the Scenic Railway of the World as the route covers some of the most breathtaking terrain in North America. The line which runs between the historic towns of Skagway in Alaska and Whitehorse in the Yukon was constructed during the height of the Klondike Gold Rush. The Whitepass and Yukon route is renowned for not only its natural spectacles, but also its man-made wonders – towering bridges, cliff hanging road beds and tunnels bored through solid granite.

Sightseeing Tours and Accomodation
A range of local sightseeing tours can be organised in most towns throughout Alaska and The Yukon. A wide variety of tours are available, these cover wildlife viewing, spectacular scenery such as glaciers, local cultural events, river cruises and historic attractions. We can also organise accommodation at hotels, lodges and B&B’s throughout Alaska. The accommodation we use is conveniently located close to local attractions and transportation terminals.
