| Alaska - heritage meets comfort |
|
Dubbed the Last Frontier, Alaska is as immense in size as it is in natural beauty - an ideal combination for those who crave outdoor experiences and the opportunity to explore a new territory. Viking Cruises sails into glacier-strewn, mountain-ringed bays and stop in former frontier towns to meet local Tlingit people, who have fished these waters for centuries and hear stories of trappers and lumberjacks.
From the comfort of your private veranda as you can witness the pristine wilderness and misty fjords of the region, or go ashore to explore towns on shore. Alaska is also home to an abundance of wildlife, so keep an eye out for bears, whales, eagles and otters.
Viking's 11-day cruise from Vancouver to Seward (or reverse) along the Inside Passage delves deep into seldom-visited gold rush ports, highlighting the Tlingit culture and wildlife revealing the breathtaking wonders of the Inside Passage and Yakutat Bay.
A world of Tlingit heritage is at hand and you'll be delighted by the outpost atmosphere of charming, mountain-ringed seaside towns. As you cruise this pristine wilderness of misty fjords, lush forest and gleaming walls of ice, you can also pan for gold like prospectors of old, meet local Tlingit who have fished these waters for centuries, and hear tales both tall and true of a region where a Wild West spirit still feels very much alive.
