There remain few places on earth where you can truly breathe. Where space is measured not in feet or miles, but in endless horizons.

All the more reason to book early

for the summer of 2010.

Princess has reduced Alaska capacity by about 48,000 passengers for 2010. The line had eight ships deployed to Alaska in 2009, but has dropped to seven ships for 2010. Only three ships (Diamond Princess, Coral Princess and Island Princess) will offer Gulf of Alaska cruises between Vancouver and Whittier (compared to four in 2009), and two (Sapphire Princess and Golden Princess) will offer seven-night, roundtrip, Seattle itineraries. They will offer 10-night cruises, roundtrip from San Francisco, and 14-night cruises, roundtrip, from Seattle.  This means less choice. Less options. Higher prices. So take advantage of this years unprecedented EARLY BOOKING low rates and space availability. These cruise deals may never come our way again. Carnival, Holland America and Royal Caribbean will also have fewer ships sailing Alaska in 2010.

Cruises vs. Cruise Tours

A great Alaska adventure can be had on both our cruise-only itineraries and on our many cruise tour itineraries.

Both options offer spectacular views of Alaska: cruise-only itineraries focus on glaciers and frontier ports; cruise tours combine cruising itineraries with days of touring the vast inland wilderness of Alaska and the Yukon. The advantage of choosing a cruise tour is that you get a greater variety of Alaska attractions; a cruise tour is the only way to see Glacier Bay and Denali National Parks, the Yukon and the Arctic.

Combine a seven-day cruise with a four to ten day land tour and see the best of Alaska. Alaska Cruise tours range from 10-17 nights and include your 7-night Alaska cruise. Most cruise ours feature an inclusive tour into Denali National Park, a 6.3 million acre park, home to Mt. McKinley and one of the largest wildlife habitats in the world. Alaska Cruise Tours accommodate every lifestyle, from mild to wild.

Today's Headline: Time to get in on 2010 "off-season" Alaska cruise deals.
Cruise rates for 2010 are low,  cruise lines are looking to fill cabins now. So you can land a cheap deal. It sounds unreal, but one expert says now you could pick up some good cruise deals if you act fast. The industry is trying to fill as many cabins as possible for May and September of 2010 now. As early indications show a possible slow down in cruise travel, cruise lines are getting very aggressive in the Alaska market to avoid a weak summer. The cruise lines don't want to take a major hit next summer so they're offering lower-than-normal prices to create excitement about the destination by offering great early booking incentives now.

miss Alaska's

biggest attraction.

Denali National Park

When you plan your Alaskan vacation, do you plan to encounter a striking landscape, a place so expansive that it shelters more than six hundred-fifty species of flowering plants and thirty-seven mammal species? Do you envision your Alaskan tour to include a dizzying six million acres filled with large caribou, moose, and grizzly bears, and offset with startlingly small flowers, miniaturized to suit Alaska's short growth season?

Of course we're talking about Denali National Park, the focal point of an Alaska Cruise Tour.

Fifteen cruise ships, a dozen wilderness lodges, luxury Ultra Dome rail cars, and a fleet of deluxe motor coaches; allowing you to connect seamlessly to a land tour and experience several distinctly unique facets of the Alaska wilderness in a single trip. 

See Denali National Park, Mt. McKinley and the wildlife of Alaska.            

Travel via scenic domed railcars; deluxe, restroom-equipped motor coaches; Overnight at deluxe “rustic” lodges; great wildlife and scenery only on an Alaska cruise tour can you experience all that Alaska has to offer. Denali National Park is located 240 miles north of Anchorage, and encompasses 6 million acres of forests, tundra, glaciers and mountains - that's larger than the entire state of Massachusetts. Yet only 90 miles of main road traverses the park, leaving the moose, caribou, sheep and bears free to roam a wide area of land untouched by man. Denali National Park has long been a place of refuge for those with the will to survive its rugged terrain. Indeed, only the strongest plants flourish in this world of sub-artic wilderness. Species of mosses, lichens, fungi, algae, and others spangle the slopes and valleys of Denali. Deep pools of frost collect just beneath the park's surfaces, and only the thinnest sheen of topsoil thaws enough each year to stimulate new life. But the fragile nature of the region leads to continuous rebirth. New rivers can spurt up in days and flowers bloom just in time to serve as supper for hungry wildlife.

What's the best time of year to see Mt. McKinley and visit Denali National Park? Answer here?

Denali National Park, a 6.3 million acre park, home to Mt. McKinley and one of the largest wildlife habitats in the world.Cruise tours to Denali each feature one of three exciting tours of the park:


The Discover Denali Experience is an intimate introduction to the sub Arctic and Denali National Park. A naturalistic presentation, followed by a film, will describe the natural and cultural history of the sub-arctic ecosystem in and around Denali National Park. You will also enjoy a short guided walk on the park's trails.


On the Denali Natural History Tour, you'll discover the beauty of taiga forests and explore miles of rolling tundra, searching for wildlife. And you won't miss a thing, because driver-guides will explain the region's natural history and geology.


The Tundra Wilderness Tour is an excellent way to spot the wildlife Alaska is famous for: such as moose, bear, wolves, caribou, and Dall sheep just to name a few. The tour focuses on scouting

out the wildlife in the park, in addition to explaining the historical and geographical background

of the area.

 

Some unique things you can choose to do in and around the park...

Tundra Wilderness Tour

Natural History Tour
Take a helicopter ride to view breathtaking

  Mt. McKinley's from the air!
Kayak, raft or jet boat down crystal clear

  lakes and rivers!
Drive a team of Alaskan sled dogs!
Charter a boat or a float plane for a once in

  a life time fly-in fishing trip.

 

"From immensely beautiful landscapes to the simplest yellow wildflower - we offer insights on all the many wonders of Alaska where walls of ice stretch 5,000 feet to shake hands with the sky. The murmur of prospectors haunt old-world shops and saloons. Totem poles scowl over temperate rain forests while salmon jump through crisp mountain streams."

 

What will you see? A massive glacier sending ice floes seaward? A pod of humpback whales surfacing through the morning mist to get a better look at your ship? A herd of caribou grazing on the tundra? On any given day in Alaska, so many sensations await you. You only need to embark on a cruise or cruise tour to begin your voyage of discovery.

Ketchikan. "It was a nice little place, and they all fish up there. The guide took us to spots where the salmon were jumping right out of water and eagles were just looking at them." Just outside of Juneau, where they docked the second night, they visited Mendenhall Glacier. "You can just walk right up to it." They were even more impressed by the Hubbard Glacier on the Inside Passage. "You cruise right up to it, and it's making snap, crackle, and pop noises and pieces were constantly popping off."  From their stop in Skagway, they caught a boat to Haines, where the preserve has a visitors center, and then hopped a bus to the Chilkat Valley. "The skies just opened up and it was gorgeous. We had a three-hour tour with a Tlingit native on a boat along the Chilkat River. The eagles were flying and swooping and gazing at you from onshore. The natural beauty of this valley is just indescribable." The family took a three-day bus tour of Denali National Park. A highlight was taking a single-prop airplane tour out of Talkeetna to Mount McKinley, at 20,320 feet, the tallest mountain in North America. "We flew among all these peaks, alongside cliffs, through the clouds, and 400 feet above the Ruth Glacier, which is like a huge river of ice, with all these crevasses. We were dipping in and out, having a ball." Read The Article

Traveling with family or friends,  can lower costs enough so you can travel even when the economy is not that good. Of course, most of us don't have the time - or inclination - to make the calls and do the research for an entire group.

Question Of The Week

How can I see Mt. McKinley?

 

Mt. McKinley, at over 20,000 feet, is North America's largest mountain. Located in Denali National Park, between Anchorage and Fairbanks. National Park Service sightseeing in Denali National Park is featured on most Alaska Cruise tour itineraries.

 

The breathtaking view you see in the brochure and picture postcards of Mt. McKinley is never guaranteed, as Mt. McKinley creates its own weather, so cloud cover may obscure your view. However, when the weather cooperates viewing North America’s highest peak is spectacular.

Alaska is as rustic and romantic as one could ever imagine."

Noteworthy Comments From Our Guests                                                                             ( read more - use your back button to return here )

"Marty, thanks for your help you made selecting this Alaska trip very easy with all the knowledge you shared.  You are everything the books

 say a travel agent should be."

 

"We Just got back from our cruise tour to Alaska on Princess. Everything was excellent. The hotels and the ship was rated tops by all in our party.

The help with the 8 month old was fantastic and the excursions were great. Thanks for all of your help. We are looking forward to another cruise

 next year, possibly the Mediterranean and working with you. Thanks again


"Just a note to thank you for your help in booking the ( Alaska ) Princess Cruise tour for next year.

I have been doing some internet searching of info regarding the cruise tour and the ship and it becomes increasingly obvious to me that you have

taken excellent care of us. Your knowledge of the advantage of a Port side room for the southern trip and your ability to get us in the mid-ships

bump out area for our cabins looks to be great. I was not knowledgeable regarding the bump outs on the Coral Princess until reviewing some

cruise review sites and the reviews I have read regarding being in the bump out area and on the A and B decks makes you look brilliant and makes

us look lucky to have dealt with you. I found you guys pretty much by the luck of the draw on a Goggle search. At the time of my first e-mail I had no

idea who you were, where you were located, how legitimate you were or what your level of expertise may be. Let me say that at this point I am very

happy I found you and appreciate how well you have served us."


Fully Refundable Deposit: A definite advantage of early booking is that you get the best choice of available staterooms and tours. Plus, at Alaska Cruise Tours

Online, we'll place a "Courtesy Hold" for you without a deposit for up to 3 -7 days while you consider finalizing your vacation plans.  Then, if you want a confirmed

reservation, you place a deposit with the cruise line. Your deposit is fully-refundable up until the day before cruise line cancellation penalties are imposed. At Alaska

Cruise Tours Online we never charge an agency booking or a cancellation fee. Only the cruise line policy regarding payments and cancellations apply. Many cruise

lines also offer a price protection policy that guarantees your price if the fares increases. Conversely, if the Cruise Line advertises a lower price before final payment,

you may be entitled to the additional savings. Check with us about the policies of your chosen cruise line. Although there will always be last minute deals advertised,

they are seldom on the high demand cruise sailings or the best staterooms. The bottom line is, you save the most by booking early and enjoy the peace of mind of

knowing your cruise vacation plans are secured. Call us at 800.365.1445 today.
