Alaska & The Yukon

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.

Where do you start? Right here, with Above & Beyond Travel. We’ll help you navigate Alaska and the Yukon, whether you know exactly where you want to go, have some ideas, or just want someone to tell you how to have the best experience. The itineraries are complex and we'd love to help you determine the best one for you.

Why choose us? That’s simple. Because we’ve been there; because we’ve partnered with the cruise line that does it best; and because we’ll be there with you every step of the way. Getting started is easy. Give us a call or send us an e-mail. We’d love to share our experiences with you.

Travel with the Best in Alaska

It's important to choose the right cruise line in Alaska and we've already done that for you. You'll benefit from over 56 years of traveling experience in the region. No one knows Alaska like Holland America Line (HAL). Below are just a few reasons why Holland America Line is THE cruise line to travel with in Alaska.

• More Denali and more time in Denali than any other cruise line – Eighteen cruisetours offer Double Denali, which includes the famed Tundra Wilderness Tour and an extra day at the park.

• More Glacier Bay – Holland America Line offers more itineraries with Glacier Bay than any other cruise line.

Cruises vs. Cruisetours

A great Alaska adventure can be had on both our cruise-only itineraries and on our many cruisetour itineraries. Both options offer spectacular views of Alaska: cruise-only itineraries focus on glaciers and frontier ports; cruisetours combine cruising itineraries with days of touring the vast inland wilderness of Alaska and the Yukon. The advantage of choosing a cruisetour is that you get a greater variety of Alaska attractions; a cruisetour is the only way to see Glacier Bay and Denali National Parks, the Yukon and the Arctic. Additionally, most cruisetours include the personal services of a tour director.

Check out both the cruises and cruisetour portions of our web site for more information and contact us to work with you to choose the right Alaskan vacation for you!

What's Important to See, You Ask? Well, We've Been to Alaska, So . . .

Here's our list of some of the most important things to see in Alaska & the Yukon. We would love to help you integrate these into your itinerary.

Denali National Park and Mt. McKinley - this incredible park and 20,320 ft wonder is one of the top reasons people travel to Alaska. Make sure you have enough time to experience the park, that you overnight inside the park and that you travel as far into the park as you can.
Glacier Bay National Park - this incredible display of glaciers with a picturesque backdrop is the other top reason that people travel to Alaska. Again, make sure you have enough time to experience these beautiful glaciers and that there's room to see them from your ship.
