They say that everything's bigger in America... and Alaska is the biggest state of all. Covering more than 663,268 square miles, Alaska is about seven times the size of the United Kingdom but is also the least densely populated state, leaving vast stretches of unspoilt wilderness to explore.
Embark on an Alaskan cruise and you’ll discover a breathtakingly scenic region of intricate fjords, blue-streaked glaciers calving to create vast icebergs, snow-capped mountains and pristine valleys. Travel along the magnificent Inside Passage, one of the world’s most spectacular marine highways and the only way to discover some of Alaska’s most isolated towns.
Venture into the dramatic scenery of the state’s national parks for towering peaks and imposing wild landscapes carved out over millennia. Roaring, glacier-fed rivers are patrolled by families of grizzlies while wolves prowl through the dense forests, bald eagles soar overhead, and whales are frequently spotted in the coastal waters.
A fascinating cultural heritage also awaits on our Alaska holidays, from the chance to learn more about vibrant Native American communities to onion-domed cathedrals dating back to the days when this land was under Russian ownership. Or wander the colourful mining towns which sprang up during the Gold Rush in the 19th century, today an attractive slice of Alaska’s heritage packed with tales of larger-than-life characters.
Our Alaska tours aren’t just about history and nature though, with visits to the state’s two largest cities, including Anchorage’s cultural delights and Fairbanks, one of the best places to see the northern lights.
What are the best places to visit in Alaska?
For an Alaska holiday to remember, plan to visit at least one of the state’s national parks such as Denali, see the dramatic glaciers, including Mendenhall and Hubbard, go wildlife spotting and discover some of the area’s Gold Rush history.

Anchorage
Alaska’s biggest city, Anchorage makes a fantastic starting point for Alaska tours, with a thriving art and culture scene, museums on the area’s history and heritage and some great bike trails to get out into nature. It’s also a perfect base to discover some of the state’s scenery and wildlife. Prince William Sound, Kenai Fjords National Park, and Portage Lake are all popular day trips from the city to see Alaska’s famous glaciers and marine life, or head to Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center to spot bears and some of the state’s other native creatures.

Fairbanks
Alaska’s second-largest city, Fairbanks is only 200 miles south of the Arctic Circle, with 21 hours of daylight during the summer months. Nicknamed Alaska’s Golden Heart for its gold-mining heritage, it’s a great stop to find out more about the Alaskan Gold Rush and life in the 19th century. You can learn more about native traditions here too, with trips to a local village recreated by Athabascan Indians. Visit at the right time of year, especially around the spring and autumn equinox, and Fairbanks is also one of the best places to see the Northern Lights.

Denali National Park
One of Alaska’s many national parks, Denali’s snowy peaks stretch for 160 miles and are so tall, they’re often lost in the clouds. Below the soaring mountains, including north America’s highest peak, towering Denali, you can enjoy sightings of Alaska’s magnificent wildlife, including the ‘Big Five’ – bears, moose, caribou, wolves and Dall sheep. Denali is home to grizzly bears and black bears, as well as being one of the best places to view wolves in the wild, but the park is home to 39 species in total. Combine it with a memorable rail journey aboard the Alaska railroad.

Inside passage
The fabled Inside Passage, also known as the Inner Passage, stretches for over 900 miles from Washington State on the US west coast along the British Columbia coastline in Canada to Skagway in Alaska. One of the most scenic sea lanes in the world, this particular marine highway passes snow-capped peaks and dense forests with deep fjords stretching off from the open ocean. Spot whales, seals and bald eagles as you cruise, discover the 2-million-acre wilderness of Misty Fjords National Monument, or stop at Gold Rush sites like Ketchikan and Skagway, as well as isolated state capital Juneau.
