Luxury Vacations in Alaska

Why should you travel on a luxury Alaska vacation with us?

Raw. Wild. Breathtaking.

Alaska is ultimate wilderness territory, and its unspoiled beauty is often only seen on the big screen. But you? We’ll give you a real-life front-row seat. Our luxury Alaska vacations are pieced together to suit the dreams and desires of everyone in your group, whether you’re used to being active every day, or prefer a more gentle form of adventure.

Because Alaska luxury tours don’t have to mean scaling glaciers or mushing huskies with a four-time champion (although we’ll happily arrange both). They can mean taking a slow walk along bear trails, surrounded by silence, watching them dig for clams or tumble on the shoreline. They can be about deep-sea fishing in rarely seen fjords, with puffins and porpoises as company. They can mean cozying up beneath a heavy quilt, seeing the aurora borealis light up the sky, all from the plush bed at one of the world’s most remote luxury lodges (we’ll helicopter you in). Along the way you’ll learn the essential skills needed to survive in Alaska’s icy wilderness – and, all importantly – you’ll live to tell the tale. That’s quite the dinner party story.

What to see and do in Alaska

Learn to be a survivalist on a family adventure

Welcome to the most hostile place on earth. For the uninitiated and unaware, the Arctic is a place that we aren’t equipped to endure. Cue: the experts. Guided by a glacier survival expert, you’ll learn the skills needed to hike and climb this frigid, fearsome landscape. You’ll learn to make fires and create drinking water out of ice. You’ll use the stars to navigate across the wild terrain. You’ll conquer and survive, with your family by your side.

Spot bears in the Alaskan wilderness

This is bear territory – and we’re taking you to the heart of it. Gear up and pile into a light aircraft, taking in active volcanoes, giant glaciers and migratory whales from the sky, before landing on a remote stretch of beach. From here, you’ll walk in the footsteps of bears, navigating their trails and resting on the riverbanks to watch them go about their daily life – digging up clams, tumbling across the sedge grass in play mode, courting, or fishing. Without question, it’s one of the best Alaska tours you can take.

See the Northern Lights… from your bed

Sheldon Chalet is the very definition of seclusion. Perched 6,000ft up an isolated mountain ridge and only accessible by helicopter, this luxury lodge, which we consider a “must stay” on every luxury Alaska vacation, looks out over the vast expanse of powder of the Denali National Park. That’s some view, but at night things get even better: this is one of the best places on earth to spot the vivid greens of the Northern Lights. We suggest you leave the blinds up.

Mush huskies with an Iditarod champion

Say hello to the local legends. We’re not referring to the 4-time Iditarod Champion Dallas Seavey, whose homestead you’ll be visiting on this day out, but his hardcore team of Alaskan huskies. You’ll go behind the scenes at one of the top racing kennels, learning how rugged mushers and sled dogs survive 1,000-mile races through the brutal terrain of the Arctic, before you take the reigns, guiding a team of huskies on a thrilling, once-in-a-lifetime mush through snow-dusted birch forest. If we had our way, every luxury Alaska tour would include this.

Retrace the story of The Call of the Wild

Introducing Take Me on a Story – your chance to retrace the pathways of the Klondike Gold Rush on an adventure we’ve stitched together, inspired by Jack London’s 1903 novel, The Call of the Wild. Over the course of several days, you’ll soak in the majesty of the Alaskan wilderness, sailing between icebergs, climbing mountains, rappelling back down them, and foraging your way through this vast, rugged land.

Deep sea fish in the ethereal Kenai fjords

Our Alaskan land and sea tours showcase the diversity of landscapes in this seemingly neverending state. In the backcountry of the Kenai Fjords National Parkland you’ll find some of the world’s deepest, darkest waters for fishing. Salmon, halibut, and rockfish are abundant here, and on a private charter with a captain and guide, you’ll learn how to catch them. It’s an experience that can be tailored to beginners or pros, with a sensational backdrop of snow-covered peaks and icy waters.

The best of Alaska

Denali National Park

Pick your perfect adventure and you’re likely to find it here in Alaska’s most well-known national park. This park is big – the state of New Jersey big – and with that comes vast and varied terrains, where you can traverse tundras before hiking through boreal forest. Scale (some of) the highest mountain in north America, trek across glaciers, raft through icy waters or – if that’s all a little too active – opt of a scenic cessna flight, soaring with golden eagles over herds of Dall’s sheep, caribou, and pairs of grizzly bears.

Kenai Fjords National Parkland

There are few sights as arresting as the Alaskan coastal wilderness. Head out to the water on this Alaskan land and sea tour to witness the natural beauty of the Kenai Fjords National Park. Around you, towering Tipp-Ex white glaciers are reflected in emerald-blue waters and clown-faced puffins nest in the cliffs. If you’re lucky, you’ll see playful porpoises spinning in the water, and wolverines, black bears, and moose roaming the icy shoreline.

Anchorage

With world-class museums and parks edged by mountains, it’s tempting to linger in Anchorage, the most populated city in Alaska. But really, Anchorage is your final outpost before you leap into the remote wilderness of deepest, darkest depths of the state on your Alaska luxury tour. Stock on supplies. Grab dinner. Maybe a drink? Then maybe another… and ready yourself for pure adventure.
