Alaska's wow-factor, it's one thing you can always count on. That's why for 2025 we've added a few new activities, tours, and lodging so that you can experience even more of that Alaska awe.
Seward Helicopter Tours
When you're visiting Seward you'll spend a lot of your time looking up. Up at the mountainsides, up at waterfalls, up at glaciers. Now you can see this incredible landscape from a whole new vantage point. Choose from four helicopter tours: a 30-minute Kenai Fjords flightseeing trip, a two-hour flightseeing trip with two landings, a glacier dog sled excursion, and a heli-hike adventure.
Homer Helicopter Tours
Go to a volcano in a helicopter. Sounds pretty cool, no? We're also adding a shorter Kachemak Bay helicopter flightseeing tour, a glaciers and waterfalls flight with landings, and a heli bear viewing trip to Chinitna Bay. Note that these Homer helicopter tours don't operate every day of the week. If one of these has you really excited, get in touch and we can help plan an itinerary around it.
Discover Denali Flightseeing from Anchorage
Let's say you're coming through Anchorage for one full day before you catch a cruise. You don't have a lot of time, but you really want to see the Alaska Range and, if you're lucky, Denali. Enter this three-hour flightseeing tour out of Lake Hood Seaplane Base in Anchorage!
Matanuska Valley and Farm Tour
Fully narrated larger group tour from Anchorage. This one is a nice fit if you're looking for an interesting but mellow day tour. Explore Palmer, a charming farming community, with stops at the Musk Ox Farm and Reindeer Farm.
Cruise Transfer Between Whittier and Seward
By popular demand! The Park Connection Motorcoach has added a new route directly connecting Whittier and Seward. Let's say that you want to travel on a land package before embarking on your Alaska cruise out of Whittier, but really want to see Seward and explore Kenai Fjords National Park. In the past you would have to "backtrack" through Anchorage to connect between Seward and Whittier. This new route saves you lots of time and your precious travel budget with a direct transfer on most Whittier ship days in 2025.
Springhill Suites Fairbanks
Convenient, modern accommodations in downtown Fairbanks. Great for families, with all-suite rooms that come with pull-out sofas. Complimentary hot breakfast buffet included.
