Alaska tourism features diverse wildlife and national park cruisetours

Alaska offers diverse travel experiences through its panhandle and rugged interior, featuring significant wildlife and national parks. Travelers in the panhandle can visit cities such as Juneau, Ketchikan, and Skagway to observe species including bald eagles, whales, sea lions, and various salmon. Activities in the region include kayaking near glaciers and riding the White Pass and Yukon Railroad in Skagway.

For more extensive exploration, Princess Cruises provides cruisetours that combine coastal cruises with overland travel. These itineraries can last up to 17 nights and cover major destinations such as Denali National Park and Preserve, Glacier Bay National Park, Kenai Fjords National Park, and Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. The company utilizes its own infrastructure, including lodges and a fleet of glass-domed rail cars, to facilitate travel through these wilderness areas.
