Denali National Park is an amazing addition to any Alaska itinerary.
With more than 6 million acres of wild land and one ribbon road, this is truly wild Alaska. You can see taiga forest, alpine tundra, and the big mountain herself: Denali. You will be sure to see things you will never forget, wondrous at any age.
For those who want the best of land and sea, we recommend a 1-way cruise that can be combined with a pre or post-stay including 2-nights at a lodge in Denali. Or, for those land lubbers, you can include an extended park stay while traveling the famous Alaskan railroad.

Art Lovers Unite!
Amsterdam is a great city for those who love art and museums. We highly recommend a private curated tour during your stay here. A private guide will allow you to explore the best of the extensive collections at the Van Gogh or Rijksmuseum and the world's finest Dutch art.
We've seen over and over how a private guide can bring the art to life and share with an enthusiasm that makes a permanent impression.
Who wants to walk around an amazing museum with their nose in a map or guide book? Private tour guides mean you get to wander looking up and some the greatest beauty in history.

Victoria is a gem.
No matter what time of day you are there, it's simply magical. We recommend that you don't miss the famous Butchart Gardens, but add on a private city tour afterwards to explore the chanting architecture all around this beautiful island.
Victoria is often a featured port of call on Alaska cruises, especially those headed roundtrip back to the mainland US. If not, it's an easy day trip from Vancouver. You may wish to arrive into port a day or two before your cruise leaves so you can make sure you have plenty of time in Victoria.

Stars Wars fan or not, Skellig Michael is an impressive site.
For land lubbers, you can explore this mysterious isle from the visitor's center.
For those who love the sea, you can brave the choppy waters to walk the beautiful shores and visit the Gaelic monastery. Only a few ships are allowed to make the journey to dock on the island but many sail around it looking for wildlife.
Keep in mind, weather affects sailings and you may have to postpone your trip.
Pro Tip: Always make sure you give the boating company an email/phone number where you can be reached IN country in case your voyage is cancelled.
