The number one reason for some people to visit Alaska is:
Wildlife Viewing
The pristine wilderness of
Alaska is, perhaps, the last vestige of thriving populations of North American
wildlife. Where else can you see polar bears, bald eagles, blue and humpbacked
whales, gray wolves, grizzly bears, orcas, lynx, moose, and hundreds of other
rare and endangered species in their original and undisturbed natural
habitats? Alaska cruising,
Alaska endless summers, Alaska Fishing, Alaska hiking, Alaska Wildlife Viewing,
Best Cruise to Alaska, Why visit Alaska, are all reasons to visit Alaska!
What is Cruise Comfort?
(another reason) Everyone will have a
different set of priorities, but I'm sure you've all thought about the décor
that includes an abundance of fresh flowers or museum-quality art and attention
to detail. Others will pay more
attention to the work out in the fitness center, the movie at the cinema, to
learn yoga, to pamper yourself with a massage or to take a class in the
state-of-the-art Culinary Arts Center demonstration kitchen or maybe check your
email in the Explorations Café. Whatever you choose, there's an onboard
activity for everyone.
Adventure
Adventure
(another reason) Even if you don't have a lot of outdoor experience, day excursions
and guided tours allow you to discover true Alaska wilderness during the day
and sleep in a comfortable bed at night. For the seasoned outdoor expert,
Alaska is teeming with the opportunities for the rugged, backcountry treks.
Whether you prefer to hike on an ice age glacier, skim the wilderness in a
"bush" plane or take a dog sled ride, you'll find plenty of options
to experience the Alaska you've always dreamed about. The state's many famous
rivers, lakes and protected coastal waters offer the chance to experience
rafting, kayaking or jet boat rides from mild to wild. No matter what your interest,
you're sure to find some adventures tailor-made for you.
Phenomenon

(another reason) Your best chances of seeing the Northern
Lights in Southeast Alaska is late summer/early fall (late August/early
September through April/May). Best time is between 11pm – 1am.
The Polar day begins around March 21 when it is vernal equinox and
the sun is right above the equator and the day and night are equal. At the
Arctic Circle, the Polar day reaches its climax around June 21 when the solar
orb is so high that at no point does it drop below the horizon.
The Polar night begins around Sept 23 when it
is autumnal equinox and reach its climax around Dec 21 when the sun can no
longer be seen above the horizon, even at noon.
