Reasons To
Visit Alaska

  • Bears

    Alaska, the USA’s largest state, has to be some of the best bear watching territory anywhere in the world. Black and brown bears (sometimes known as grizzly bears) can be found, when they want to be, nearly everywhere in the state.

    Alaska offers some truly spectacular cruising opportunities on a wide variety of ships. Some of the country’s most awe-inspiring scenery lies around its magnificent coastline; places such as Glacier Bay, Admiralty Island and Tracy Arm.

    Cruises
  • Fishing

    Famous for its salmon, fishing is a popular pastime in Alaska and there are many places in which to partake in the sport. If you are in Homer don’t miss the opportunity to land a prize-winning halibut in this self-proclaimed Halibut Fishing Capital of the World!

  • Glaciers

    Along the coast of Alaska, some of North America’s highest mountains feed more than half the world’s glaciers, an epic sight as they carve icebergs into chill waters. Expedition cruises operate in these waters using zodiacs to discover breathtaking coastlines and a plethora of wildlife.

  • Landscape & scenery

    Home to magnificent glaciers, endless tundra and pristine fjords, as well as being the home of North America’s highest mountain, Mount Mckinley, Alaska’s scenery rivals that of New Zealand, except everything can be seen here on a larger scale.

  • Wilderness

    In a state where moose outnumber humans, it’s no wonder Alaska is considered one of the world’s last true wildernesses. Here you can find entire ecosystems still intact and vast areas of land untouched by human hands.

  • Wildlife

    One Alaskan animal you are likely to see a lot of are the delightful sea otters. These enchanting animals spend most of their lives floating on their backs, furry faces and paws in the air.

Visit Prince William Sound, Alaska

Prince William Sound is home to the classic image of Alaska; one of huge chunks of ice crashing into deep blue fjords. It is also some home to small, pretty, coastal towns such as Valdez and Cordova.

Prince William Sound

Alaska

The classic image of Alaska is of huge chunks of ice crashing into deep blue fjords, breathtaking coastlines and down to earth locals at one with their environment.

Prince William Sound has all this and more with rain-forested mountains and an abundance of wildlife such as whales, sealions, harbour seals, Dall sheep, mountain goats and, of course, bears.

Towns of Prince William Sound

There are three towns on Prince William Sound, all very different: Valdez has a remarkably picturesque setting amidst some of the world’s tallest mountains and is the terminal for the trans-Alaska oil pipeline. Cordova is a working fishing and canning port that remains somewhat off the beaten track, whilst the tiny port of Whittier is hemmed in by glaciated mountains with access through the recently-converted Whittier Tunnel.
