AAA Travel is a paid advertiser of Sonoran Living

As a full-service travel agency, AAA wants to showcase Alaska’s fun, adventure and culture.

As the largest state in the nation, Alaska has 12 national parks, 3 million lakes, 100,000 glaciers and 3,000 rivers. Of the nation’s 20 highest peaks, 17 of them are in Alaska. A Holland America cruise/tour is a great way to see more of Alaska and Canada in a single trip.

On a cruise/tour you will sail the coastline of Alaska with a stop in either Victoria or Vancouver Canada, so bring a passport. You will see glaciers, whales and the inside passage with stops at famous gold mining cities like Juneau, Ketchikan and Skagway. You also will have the opportunity to take a rail trip up to the Yukon Territory of Canada.

You will board the luxurious McKinley Explorer-domed rail cars for your stay at the 60-acre McKinley Chalet Resort base camp at Denali National Park. Here is where you will get a peek at Mount McKinley, weather permitting.  

Alaska is a great destination for everyone. There are suitable activities for every member of the family, regardless of their age or activity level. Activities include dog sledding, flightseeing by seaplane or helicopter, wildlife or whale watching, panning for gold, fishing, glacier viewing or hiking and lumberjack shows
Holland America cruise/tours are handicap- and wheelchair-accessible, and most of the time you dock in the center of town. The rail cars and tour buses have lifts for wheelchairs on request. Advance booking and planning are essential.

The Alaska cruise/tour season is May – September when the days are warm and long. Budget for shore excursions and tour options to really see and experience Alaska. Your best chance of seeing Northern Lights is in September when you often have 19 hours of sunlight per day.

As is the largest leisure travel agency in North America, AAA Travel can assist with vacation planning to any destination. For more information, visit www.az.aaa.com/Travel or call 1-877-731-3926.
