From mountains to mammals, everything is bigger in Alaska. In the 20+ hours of summer sunlight a day, even the produce grows to fair-winning proportions. Of course, the 70-pound Matanuska Valley cabbage is just the beginning of the big sights this sun-soaked tour of Alaska has to offer. Just wait until you cruise along the three-mile face of the Columbia Glacier, sail by the calving tidewater glaciers of Kenai Fjords National Park and ascend into Denali National Park – home of North America’s highest peak – by way of the world-famous Alaska Railroad. Other big moments include panning for gold at Fairbanks’ Gold Dredge #8, seeing a mushing demonstration at the home of an Iditarod champion, and witnessing the grandest of wildlife from Alaska’s majestic coasts to its monumental crests. While spotting a giant whale, caribou, moose, or grizzly might be “no biggie” to the locals, we think you’ll agree, this Alaska vacation is huge. What’s bigger and better than the whales, waterways, and whopping views of Alaska? Extending your Alaska vacation to see more of them. Add a leisurely cruise through the breathtaking Gulf of Alaska and Inside Passage to your Alaska vacation to see more wondrous wilderness and charming settlements. Enjoy scenic cruising around Glacier Bay National Park and time in the frontier capital of Juneau, the tranquil towns of Haines or Skagway, and totem-pole-dotted Ketchikan.

Day 13
SKAGWAYThe Rush for Gold At the height of the Klondike Gold Rush, the port town of Skagway served as the primary gateway to the legendary gold fields, and quickly grew into Alaska’s largest settlement. It was then a raucous frontier hub packed with trading posts, saloons, and guesthouses. As the gold rush faded into the 1900s, so did Skagway—but today it has been reinvigorated as a gateway for a new kind of visitor: those looking to explore Alaska’s rich history, pristine wildlife, and unrivaled natural beauty. (B,L,D)NOTE: Haines may be an alternative port and will be determined by Holland America onboard. TOUR HIGHLIGHTLEGENDS & LORE At every turn, you’ll find yourself immersed in gold rush lore in the town of Skagway, from the infamous Red Onion Saloon that still keeps a pistol that Wyatt Earp left behind on his way to the Klondike, to the narrow-gauge White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad, traversing rugged mountains, waterfalls, and towering glaciers on its course to Whitehorse deep in the Yukon.

If you prefer land mammals, catch a floatplane to a nearby wildlife reserve such as Chichagof or Admiralty Island to spot some bears. The sleepy, misty city of around 32,000—mostly fisherfolk and small-business owners—has a frontier town vibe that is hard to resist.

Questions & Answers Ask A Question
Question: How many suitcases can I take with me on my trip?
Question: Is Airfare Included in the Price?
The Italian Mosaic tour was a fabulous experience. ALL the tours I have taken with Globus have been fabulous. The accommodations were some of the best ever, and the food was indescribably delicious at every meal. Everything was so well planned in advanced that there was never a moment that I had to worry about where I was supposed to be at a particular time. Everything was clear. Moreover, everything was prearranged. If the activity was a part of the tour or if it was an optional excursion, there was never a last minute rush here or there to get to the right place at the right time. It always proceeded smoothly like clockwork. Silvana is one of the best tour guides ever. Everyone should be so lucky to have someone as organize as she is. She kept everything clear and flowing smoothly.
Globus needs to remove the trip to the glacier in Seward from the itinerary. It was overbooked. Six people were seated at tables designed for four people ( which is a big problem because dinner is served on this trip.) The seas were very rough that day. Several people became sea sick. The trip should not have taken place. But it did because the operator did not want to refund the price and the food was already prepared. Furthermore viewing this glacier was very similar to the the glacier/trip in Valdez. Clearly this trip was redundant and not necessary.
