Day 1(Saturday) – Fly to Salt Lake City, Utah: Today your Alaskan adventure begins with your flight to Salt Lake City. Upon arrival at the Salt Lake City International Airport, guests who have purchased their airline tickets from YMT Vacations, please meet your YMT staff representative in baggage claims for meet and greet services and transfers to the hotel. Overnight in the Salt Lake City area. Day 2(Sunday) – City Tour of Salt Lake City and scenic drive to Jackson, WY: Your day begins with an interesting tour of Salt Lake City, including highlights such as Mormon Square, the Beehive House, Delta Center, Salt Palace Convention Center, and the State Capitol Building. Just outside of Salt Lake City you will view the Great Salt Lake at the base of the beautiful Lakeside and Terrace Mountains. Later today you will get a preview of Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks as you travel to Jackson, WY by way of Caribou and Bridger-Teton National Forests. Overnight in the Jackson area. Day 3(Monday) – West Yellowstone, MT via Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks: Today your eyes will be filled with the breathtaking beauty of two of our greatest national treasures: Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. Grand Teton National Park adjoins Yellowstone to the north and is an impressive way to start the day with its high alpine valley filled with abundant wildlife and magnificent views of the granite crest of the Grand Teton Range. Yellowstone National Park, a masterpiece of unspoiled nature, is arguably the most beautiful in the United States (and probably in the world!). With its boiling geysers, hot springs, steep canyons, mud volcanoes, deep pine forests, dizzying waterfalls, and fossilized trees, Yellowstone is a glorious, untamed cross section of North America. Your highlight will be seeing Old Faithful gushing 100’s of feet in the air. Overnight in the West Yellowstone area. Day 4(Tuesday) – Butte, MT via North Yellowstone National Park: Today you will have another outstanding day in Yellowstone National Park before departing for Butte. Your sightseeing will include Norris Geyser Basin, noted for pretty springs and open areas of geysers, vents and fumeroles. Then on to the canyon area known as the “Grand Canyon of Yellowstone” for a spectacular view from the North and South Rim. Next, you’ll head to the Lamar Valley is next; keep a look out for wildlife such as Bison, pronghorn antelope and perhaps a bear or wolf as you travel through these rolling hills! The geothermal features of Mammoth Hot Springs are next - the terraces and springs are simply beautiful. After exiting Yellowstone at Gardiner, you will say goodbye to the oldest national park and proceed to Butte for your overnight. Day 5(Wednesday) – Spokane, WA by way of beautiful Lake Coeur d’Alene: Day 6(Thursday) – Wenatchee, WA via the Grand Coulee Dam: This morning you leave Spokane, named for the Native American Spokanes, or “Children of the Sun,” that were the area’s first residents. You’ll make a stop along highway 20, which is one of the most spectacular highways in the state of Washington, to see the Grand Coulee Dam. This 555 foot high, 5,223 foot wide engineering marvel is a perfect photo opportunity. After, you’ll head to the Wenatchee area for your overnight. Day 7(Friday) – Transfer to Seattle, WA via Leavenworth, WA to board Holland America Cruise Line’s ms Zaandam: En route to Seattle, you’ll spend the morning visiting Leavenworth. Originally founded as a tiny timber community, Leavenworth found revitalization in 1955 and was transformed into a mock Bavarian village. You’re sure to love this town, home to a museum that boasts over 5,000 nutcrackers dating from prehistoric to modern origins! After, you are off to Seattle to board the ms Zaandam to wave “Bon Voyage!” as you set sail for exciting Alaska. Holland America’s stellar five-star service will soon take your breath away. Day 8(Saturday) – Scenic Inside Passage Cruising: When explorer John Muir first sailed the Inside Passage, he could hardly tear himself away from the rail for fear of missing some new marvel. “Never before,” he wrote, “have I been embosomed in scenery so hopelessly beyond description tracing shining waves through fjord and sound, past forest and waterfall, islands and mountains.” All this while you’re gliding along in the lap of luxury aboard Holland America Lines. Day 9(Sunday) – Juneau (12:00PM - 10:30PM): Nestled at the feet of snowcapped Mt. Juneau and Mt. Roberts, Alaska’s state capital is nicknamed “Little San Francisco” because of its narrow streets and flights of wooden steps hugging the hillside on which its multicolored houses are built. While visiting, you may choose to taste salmon baked over an alderwood fire, pan for gold, flightsee the Juneau Ice Field, or walk up to the Mendenhall Glacier located just outside the city limits. No matter your interests, Holland America offers a wide assortment of shore excursions sure to fill your day with adventure. Day 10(Monday) – Scenic cruising Glacier Bay National Park: One of Alaska’s noblest and most impressive natural beauties is the climax of your cruise. The overwhelming grandeur of glaciers, exotic wildlife, and pristine environment combine to offer a breathtaking view of raw nature. You’ll spend the entire day cruising a 60-mile passage, passing glaciers galore, abundant wildlife, and scenic beauty unique in all the world. Great chunks of the glaciers are continually falling into the bay with a deafening roar, which enhances the fascinating spectacle. Day 11(Tuesday) – Sitka (8:00AM - 5:00PM): Home to the first vehicular bridge in the United States, the O’Connell Bridge, Sitka’s charm will easily draw you in. Perhaps take the time to see Saint Michael’s Russian Orthodox Church – one of many historic buildings reflecting the town’s Russian America beginnings – or enjoy an optional shore excursion while on the island. Day 12(Wednesday) – Ketchikan (7:00AM - 1:00PM): Nicknamed “the Salmon Capital of the World,” this important fishing port is also home to the world’s largest collection of Native American totem poles.

The services were excellent on our Holland America ship! I would…recommend it to others. The whole tour was wonderful, and YMT Vacations handled every aspect of the trip efficiently. I look forward to my next trip using your services.
- A Pikulas, MTMy husband, mother and I have completed our trip. It was a once in a lifetime trip for all three of us, and we could not have been more pleased overall. We all feel the trip is underrated. We saw so much, it was overwhelming at times, but all the more exciting. The places and sights would never have been seen without taking this type of trip. Thank you so much.
- D Kuebler, KSThis was our first cruise ever and we really loved it. The ship was beautiful, elegant service, great shows, informative naturalist talks and fabulous food. We really enjoyed the wagon ride, dinner (yum) and show in Jackson.
