VIP Travel - We'll take you there

You know you have dreamed of experiencing the wonders of Alaska’s wildlife and beauty.  On a cruise tour, you can cruise to or from Anchorage from either Seattle Washington or Vancouver British Columbia.  The Inside Passage is one of the world’s most beautiful water routes.  You will see miles of calm waters with whales, sea otters and dolphins.  Experience Bald Eagles in their natural habitat and enjoy the beauty of their flight. Be in awe of gorgeous glaciers with blue colors you have never experienced before.  The glaciers of College Fjord and Glacier Bay National Park are just a few of the highlights of your cruise tour. 

You will have day stops in charming ports such as Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Sitka, Valdez, Seward, Kodiak and Anchorage.  Where you stop will depend on the cruise line and itinerary you choose.  There are LOTS of choices.

For the land portion of your trip, you have numerous choices also.  From salmon fishing at Copper River to the tundra wonders of Denali to experiencing the largest brown bear population in Kenai.  You can hike in Denali and enjoy a Natural History tour that will introduce you to the highlights of this inspirational park.  If you are in the lucky 30% of Alaska tourists, you will see Mt. McKinley in all her glory.  Catch a glimpse of the past on a riverboat cruise and a tour of one of the many Gold Rush prospecting sites.  You can also choose to take the Klondike Trail in the Yukon to experience the “Gold Rush Fever”.  If you choose this route, you will experience cliff-hanging turns, tunnels and trestles on the train that climbs nearly 3,000 feet in just 20 miles.  See where thousands of hopeful prospectors began their quest at Skagway, hauling  a ton of  required goods over White Pass.  When they made it to Lake Bennett at the head of the Yukon, they pitched tents, cut timber and built simple boats for the last leg of their journey. 

Your cruise tour can consist of many modes of travel.  Beginning with your cruise ship, motor coach, glass domed trains, river boats and nostalgic parlor cars on the train to White Pass.  There are many options of itineraries and cruise companies.  You can choose to be more adventurous and go on one of the small cruise lines where you will be one of only 100 people aboard.  These ships are smaller and able to get up closer and more personal with the wildlife.  You can choose to go the less expensive way and cruise on one of the newer mega ships which are really small self contained cities!  They will board up to 3,000 people on them.  Depending on the ship, you can ice skate, rock climb, shoot skeet, swim and sun bathe, gamble and dance the night away.  You are the only limit to the experiences in store for you on an Alaska Cruise Tour!
