Why you'll love this trip

Northern Lights Excursions
Search for the Northern Lights (aurora borealis), and wait to witness the sky erupt in a riot of ethereal colors. Alaska is an ideal place to seek out the legendary northern lights. The best time to catch them is after 10:00 p.m. and before 2:00 a.m., with an expert guide and a mug of hot chocolate.
- •
Winter Glacier Cruise
The best way to see the majestic glaciers of Alaska is to get up-close-and-personal on a winter glacier cruise. As you sail to viewing points unavailable by land, watch as icebergs calve from the ice with a crack, rumble, and a splash.
- •
Prince William Sound
Located off the Gulf of Alaska divided by a string of islands, the Prince William Sound offers ideal opportunities to see massive tidewater glaciers and the marine life that lives around them. The Sound is home to dozens of glaciers, as well as otters, seals, and sea lions.
- •
Alaska Railroad
The Alaska Railroad offers a scenic journey through the rugged landscapes of southern Alaska. Have your camera ready as you pass by snowcapped mountains and dramatic valleys – your conductor will point out wildlife as you travel from Talkeetna to Fairbanks. The historic railroad has operated since 1914.
- •
Dog Mushing
Dog mushing is an iconic Alaskan sport and/or transportation method powered by dogs. A team of trained, athletic dogs are directed by a human musher on a sled, traversing snowy lands. Dog mushing has been a part of Alaskan life since long before it was even a state. This is sometimes still the best way to travel around rural communities today.
