We all need a vacation, but not everyone can travel for as long as we would like. Even with just 7 days, you can see Alaska’s highlights, like national parks and glaciers, and still have time to pursue your personal interests.
With Canada’s cruise ban extended through February 2022, Alaska’s summer cruise season is in question. Cruise lines are trying to find a solution, but many travelers are wondering what to do if cruises are cancelled. You can still visit Alaska’s wide open spaces! Check out the article below for our top suggestions, based on your travel style.
If you like the simplicity of staying in one hotel for a week, Anchorage is a great home base destination to use for experiencing Alaska. As our largest city, there are wonderful restaurants, shops, and museums. Total wilderness is less than 30 minutes away, giving you the best of both worlds for your city-based vacation.
For those who prefer to see more of Alaska, you can choose to travel by trains and buses or to have your own rental car. The Glaciers and Wildlife package includes travel aboard the Alaska Railroad and comfortable motorcoaches, allowing you to kick your feet up and relax as you visit Kenai Fjords and Denali National Parks.
Traveling by rental car gives you your own personal space, allows flexibility in your schedule, and saves you money. The Alaska on a Dime self-drive tour also showcases the whales, glaciers, moose, and mountains of Kenai Fjords and Denali, but with a focus on maximizing experiences while minimizing costs.
