Alaska & The Yukon

At 365 million acres, Alaska is so large that if you saw 1 million acres per day, it would take you a year to see all of the state. Thirty-nine mountain ranges, 100,000 glaciers, 16 national parks, 17 of the tallest peaks on the continent, and incredible wildlife; now that’s overwhelming! You want to see the best of it all, but there’s so much information.

Kenai Fjords National Park: For the Wildlife Lovers PDF Print E-mail

Kenai Fjords National Park is located south of Anchorage on the Alaska Bay near Seward.  This historic town and Mt. Marathon sit at the gateway to one of Alaska's most scenic venues.  This is a must see for visitors as the area is renowned for its wildlife, Kenai’s rocky coastline is home to bald eagles, thousands of sea birds, sea lions, harbor seals, porpoises, sea otters and whales.

The National Park Cruise is the keynote attraction with a 6-hour scenic cruise of the national park area.  The ship carries 100 people or less, has a morning and afternoon departure and includes a boxed lunch or dinner.  The cruise provides you with views of puffins, bald eagles, glaciers and marine wildlife including seals, sea otters and whales.  It may also be your first change to see glacial ice, as the boat crew displays samples picked up from the bay.  Take your coat and long pants – it is much better to shred clothes if you need to than to shiver in the cold weather here (see article about Packing for Alaska).

This tour can be added as a transfer upgrade or a 1-night package on most Holland America cruisetours that stop in Anchorage or Alyeska, so if your schedule allows, stay a night in Seward or nearby Alyeska for a wonderful evening in a 5-star hotel in the wilderness.
