Experience the Last Frontier
Alaska has long been the last outpost of the wilds of the United States. It was the 49th state to be incorporated, not recognized until 1959. It is a land of bountiful resources, from wildlife and wilderness to gold and oil reserves. Its frigid lands have been crossed by the best mushers and dog teams, and its skies are graced with the celestial Aurora Borealis. An Alaskan cruise can reveal the landscape that Jack London worshipped, the wilderness that Mardy Murie worked her whole life to protect, and the culture that reaches to the first humans that crosses the Bering Land Strait. Travelers to the U.S.’s northernmost state should be prepared for breathtaking scenery, mouthwatering seafood dishes, long winters, and profound summers.
