Alaska Tours & Holidays

Home to some of the most impressive natural landscapes in North America, Alaska offers the chance to explore places that few people have ventured to.

Cruise ships glide along serene waters pierced by dramatic glaciers, national forest land and parks that teem with wildlife such as bears, wolves and eagles. For a dip into history of the region's prospector migration, Klondike Gold Rush National Park is the perfect stop, offering visitors an insight into the impact that gold had on North America. No other place offers such a true taste of the great outdoors and life in the Arctic Circle: Alaska holidays are hard to beat.

As the largest state in the United States, Alaska offers plenty to do and see. Kayaking, dog sled rides, hiking and fishing are among the most popular activities, as well as visiting the region's many wonderfully photogenic destinations like Glacier Bay National Park, one our top 5 UNESCO heritage sites, and Kenai Fjords National Park. Unwind at a secluded wilderness lodge or visit the attractions in the cities of Anchorage, Fairbanks and Juneau, the latter of which is only accessible by air or sea. Our Alaska & the Rocky Mountaineer tour also offers the chance to ride on a scenic railway line, where you can explore the Canadian Rockies and Lake Louise from the comfort of a train seat.

Alaska has a great craft beer scene: with more than 35 small independent breweries, there's no better way to end a day of sightseeing than tasting the local varieties of ales and lagers at a cosy bar.

Alaska trips offer the chance to sample a wealth of fresh and high-quality seafood, including Pacific salmon, Pacific halibut, black cod, shrimps and king crab. Be sure to try the local dishes on your holiday. Alaska has a proud and storied history, with interesting and unique produce to match. Look out for fried bread, deep-fried dough with a fluffy interior, reindeer dog, an Alaskan-style hot dog made with pork, beef and caribou, and berry cobbler.
