THECOMPLETE ALLINCLUSIVELAND&SEA VACATION!

Why were different.As the only operator of combined cruise andmotorhome vacations in Alaska our goal is to provide you a fulfilling, complete

adventure-packed Alaska vacation.

If you are like most of our past guests you have been researching your Alaska

vacation options for quite some time. With a land area of over 586,000 square miles,

and its east to west borders spanning 2400 miles, planning your Alaska vacation

may at some times appear to be overwhelming.

Alaskas resort at sea.Fortunately, we have 36 years of experience inhelping make those choices easier. Many chose a luxury cruise to Alaska to enjoy the

magnificent scenery of the famed Inside Passage, watch humpback whales on their

annual migration, visit the colorful ports of call in Southeast Alaska, and to comeface to face with a giant wall of ice in Glacier Bay National Park, all the while being

pampered aboard ship with sumptuous dining, live entertainment and all of the

other pleasures of a floating resort.

Alaskas beauty up-close.Others chose to spend their time exploringAlaskas interior, arriving by air or highway, to experience Alaskas wide open spaces,

witness the splendor of Mt. McKinley in Denali National Park, watch moose, brown

bears, foxes and caribou in their natural habitat, cast a line for salmon or trout in

one of Alaskas 3,000 rivers, and to taste a bit of Klondike Gold Rush history.

Don't miss the opportunity to enjoy the best of Alaska,by land and sea!Whether you decide to visit Alaska by land or by sea,each is a wonderful and unique experience. However, to limit your Alaska vacation

to only one is to leave yourself only partly fulfilled. It has been our experience that

those visitors who are most satisfied at the end of their Alaska vacation are those wh

enjoyed a combined land and sea adventure. They truly experienced the best of Alask

Treating visitors to the best of Alaska by both land and sea is what Alaska Highway

Cruises is all about. But its not just the combination of land and sea that sets us

apart from the others. Instead of seeing Alaskas interior from the confines of a

large motorcoach or railcar, we offer our customers the convenience, freedom and

flexibility of a fully equipped, late model Class C motorhome.

The freedom of an RV. What does this mean to you? It meansthere are no long lines associated with traveling in a large group. No daily

packing and unpacking luggage and no rigid schedules to follow. Stop for

that special photo opportunity or to have lunch, wherever and whenever

you please. Your reserved campsites mean peace of mind and no rush to

reach your next exciting destination.

The ease of an RV. Never driven a motorhome before? Noproblem. Most of our guests are first time RVers, and they say its as easy

as driving a car. We provide all the orientation you need to make sure

your motorhome journey is carefree and a toll-free number to call us in

the event you have any questions along the way. All you do is enjoy the

wonders of Alaska. See for yourself why thousands of our past customers

tell us if they had an opportunity to visit Alaska again, they wouldnt do it

any other way. S RV !

We make it easy for you to roam the

Great Land in your roomy, comfortable RV.

See everything up close, with time toinvestigate, take photos and relax.

Here are a few of the high spots along the road:

Alaska.Anchorage is Alaskas largest city, but you stillsense the proximity of the wilderness and the frontier spirit.

Witness the tidal bore along Turnagain Arm (conditions

permitting), when a wall of water up to six feet high rushes

up the inlet. Catch a comfortable nights rest at Anchorage

Ship Creek RV Park.

Homer, on the Kenai Peninsula, attracts fishermen,

artists and seekers of spectacular scenery. Across the bay

a timbered coastline rises to the glacier-capped peaks of

the Kenai Mountains. Visit Homer Spit, a small-boat harbor,

canneries, boat building shops and the occasional artistwith an easel.

Denali National Park and Preserveis home to North

Americas tallest mountain, and to wildlife in amazing

abundance. Weather permitting, you may catch a glimpse

of 20,320-ft. Mt. McKinley long before you reach the park,

from the highway between Anchorage and Fairbanks. To

fully enjoy your time in the area, sign up for an optional

tour, like the Denali JeepBackcountry Safari.

Fairbanksbegan as a Gold Rush town and has been

thriving ever since. Here you may inspect the TransAlaska

Pipeline just outside of town, visit Gold Dredge #8, and

try your hand at panning.

Skagwaywas one of the liveliest towns in the hemisphere

in 1898, when it was the gateway to Gold Rush Country.

And it hasnt lost a particle of its spirit. Here youll over-

night at Skagway Mountain View RV Park. Located just a

short walk from your campground youll find well-trodden

boardwalks and false-fronted saloons. Shopping is fun

here, for anything from gold nugget jewelry to original

works of Alaskan art.

The Alaska Highway.This historic road began asa one-lane supply line to Alaska at the outbreak of World

War II. Today it runs from Dawson Creek, BC, for 1,520

miles to Fairbanks. Along the way you might spot moose,

caribou, bison and Dall sheep.

Kluane National Park and Preserve, between

Whitehorse and Beaver Creek, is an UNESCO World Heritage

Site. It contains some of Canadas highest peaks and is

a prime wildlife-viewing area. The Alaska Highway skirts

crystal-clear, glacier-fed Kluane Lake for 40 miles whilethe snow clad, 7,000-ft.-plus Kluane Ranges parallel the

highway to the west. You may glimpse distant giants of the

St. Elias Mountain Range.

The Yukon.Whitehorse, capital of Yukon Territory,is a friendly modern city that provides vivid reminders

of its Gold Rush beginnings. You may visit the grand old

sternwheeler, S.S. Klondike, permanently anchored on dry

land by the riverside. Enjoy an evening of hilarious history

at the Frantic Follies Vaudeville Revue.

Dawson Cityis a perfectly preserved Gold Rush town.

Hardly anything has changed since the boom days when

thousands descended on the town to get rich quick.
