Alaska Vacation Package Details
Rugged, remote, and so beautiful it takes your breath away, the wilds of Alaska come alive on this exploration of the Frontier State. Grand Alaskan Cruise & Tour provides the perfect opportunity to experience the best that Alaska has to offer, going from highlight to highlight by land and by sea.
After time in Seattle and Vancouver, your Alaska cruise tour begins. Settle into your elegant cabin on the award-winning ms Noordam, then wake up to one of the most glorious sights in the world: the Inside Passage. Pass by magnificent glaciers, adorable villages, and past miles of lush forests as you cruise through the most famous sea lane in Alaska.
Spend the next days exploring quintessentially Alaskan towns: stilt-bound Ketchikan, the state capital of Juneau, and the classic Gold Rush town of Skagway. Next, the grandeur of Glacier Bay National Park, an exotic, pristine environment, is the perfect place to catch sight of a calving glacier—one of the most dramatic sights in nature. Your final day on board the ship will be spent among Prince William Sound and College Fjord’s tidewater and large valley glaciers.
Disembark and travel to Anchorage, where you will visit the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center before traveling deep into Denali National Park for one final day in nature.

On Cruise
For most ocean cruises, consider three different types of clothing: casual attire for days aboard, layered outfits for time in port, and smart or formal eveningwear. Contact your respective cruise line for their dress code and guidelines for evening attire. Typically, a larger amount of nights is reserved for more casual clothing while some evenings are set aside for formalwear. Some recommendations for daywear include slacks or pants, blouses or shirts, knit tops or polo shirts. Bring a pair of sneakers or rubber-soled shoes for deck sports and a swimsuit cover-up for cool areas on the ship. As port wear for women consider a casual dress, skirt and blouse, or pants outfit; for men, casual pants or walking shorts, and polo-type shirts. Comfortable walking shoes are a must. Also, remember to bring extra bathing suits, as well as sun block, sun visors and other types of sun protection. Formal attire can include cocktail dress, gown, or dressy pantsuit for women and a tuxedo, suit, or dinner jacket with slacks for men. Note that T-shirts, swimsuits, robes, bare feet, tank tops, baseball caps and pool wear are often not allowed in certain areas of the ship, for example restaurants.
