 Sailing Alaska and the Pacific Coast
There's no better way to experience a cruise for the first time than a short getaway along the beautiful Pacific Coast. Cruises as short as three nights are available in late April and late September. Various cruise lines offer 3-5 night sailings from San Diego or Los Angeles, to such ports as Vancouver, San Francisco, Seattle, Victoria, BC. Take in Mount Rainier, near Seattle, or the beautiful Butchart Gardens in Victoria, BC, the only "British colony" west of the Atlantic. Or explore incredible Alaska.
Alaska, the Great Land. The largest, northernmost state of the United States. For most people, it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Year after year, people from around the world arrive with camera in hand to see the wonders of nature - the glaciers and the majestic views of snow-capped mountains.
The glaciers and snow-capped mountains are just a part of this Great Land. Take a glass-domed railcar train to Denali National Park, home to Mt. McKinley. Continue to Alaska's largest city, Anchorage, headquarters of the Alaska Railroad, heading north to Fairbanks. Alaska offers spectacular sights! A taste of Russia's culture in Sitka, the totems of the Tlingit Indians in Ketchikan, the culture of the Athabascan and Aleuet hunters along the Kodiak coast and the uniqueness of the Eskimo igloos in northern Alaska.
Alaska is a journey, through the Inside Passage, a scenic sea corridor stretching 1,000 miles from British Columbia to historic Skagway, to the ice-castle world of Glacier Bay National Park. Alaska has a thousand ways to enchant you. Visit the land of your dreams.
