Working in the leisure industry I have been lucky to have lived and travelled to a lot of amazing and beautiful places and am often asked where is my favourite vacation destination.
One place I have visited that I fell in love with and am sure will win over anyone looking for something magical and different from the usual vacation destinations is Alaska.
Because so much of the coastal area of Alaska is inaccessible by car, bus, or train, pretty much the only way to see it is on a cruise.
Relax as you sail through the most breathtaking scenery, with steep misty fjords, their walls covered in lush vegetation and seemingly endless waterfalls plunging down their steep sides in this vast unspoilt land that produces a sense of serenity you can only find in a place this remote and peaceful.
Alaska has amazing and abundant wildlife, you can see whales, bears, Dall’s sheep, with their massive curling horns, bald eagles and migrating salmon in crystal-clear streams.
Ashore you can trek through primordial rainforests or gaze in wonder at the endless shimmering ice fields in this unspoilt wilderness.
Helicopter excursions, combined with glacier walks and dog sledding for the more adventurous are becoming very popular and offer a remarkable way to experience the grandeur of Alaska’s many glaciers.
One of my personal favourites was the White Pass and Yukon Route Railway, a scenic and historic adventure that follows the famous Gold Rush trail through the mountains towards the Yukon.
Exploring with a cruise line excursions offers some distinct advantages as you can be confident that the companies operating them are reputable and reliable, with good safety records and if your excursion runs into delays, the ship will wait for you to return before sailing.
Cruise line shore excursions come with a money-back guarantee if they are cancelled due to weather or other factors, which can happen given the unpredictable weather in Alaska.
For those who want to make their own arrangements, for shore excursions companies offering adventure tours are to be found on the quay side, when you dock, but remember the popular trips are normally sold early and if you do not get back on time the ship will sail without you!
Aside from excursions and exploring the towns you visit, shopping is available close to the cruise ship docks in all ports.
For those who simply want to enjoy some rest and relaxation, while taking in the pristine beauty of Alaska, there is no need to take an excursion at all. Just enjoy life aboard your ship where you will be surrounded by some of the world’s most spectacular scenery.
Today, you can save on your Alaska cruise vacation by booking through One Vacation Club where you will find great deals and exclusive prices for Visa cardholders.

This is such a great resource that you are providing and you give it away for free. I love seeing websites that understand the value of providing a quality resource for free. It?s the old what goes around comes around routine. Did you acquired lots of links and I see lots of trackbacks??
