Mother Nature is a formidable force when it comes to Alaska. She shows off with icy fjords and rolling tundra, dramatic coastlines and towering mountains. While many go and only see the coastline on a cruise, a Globus tour boasts both the coastal gems and inland wonders of Alaska.
Start coastal
Start your adventure in Anchorage, Alaska’s largest city that balances modern comforts with the wilderness. One moment you’ll be roaming the city streets, and the next you may spot a moose in a city park!
Discover the charm of small towns
It’s not a holiday without experiencing the small towns alongside the big cities. Despite their small size, these smaller towns are still rich in history, indigenous culture and lifestyles driven by the seasons.
Valdez is one of the few port towns, nicknamed the ‘Little Switzerland of Alaska’ because of its surrounding mountains and waterfalls. From here, you’ll embark on a Prince William Sound cruise for your first taste of glaciers, puffins, orcas and sea otters; while Fairbanks is the gateway to Alaska’s Arctic. The ‘Land of the Midnight Sun’ has 24/7 sunlight in summer and draws in those hoping to see the aurora borealis with their own eyes.
Head inland
As you make your way inland, the scale of everything begins to magnify. Denali National Park is the major drawcard here, home to North America’s tallest peak and its namesake. The sheer scale of the park can be overwhelming, yet exciting, with tundra, taiga and tons of wildlife on offer. Take a Tundra Wilderness tour with a Naturalist Guide in search of wildlife and natural wonders. They’ll help you to spot grizzly bears, moose and eagles, all in this place they call home.
All from the comfort of a tour
When we say that Alaska is huge, we mean it. America’s 49th state is larger than Texas, California and Montana combined so a tour is the best way to cover a lot of ground. Complete with all the finer details, you can sit back, relax and enjoy a hassle-free holiday!
Spectacular Alaska awaits! Join Globus on this 10-day adventure of a lifetime.
