Step into the breathtaking beauty of Alaska with David's Ultimate Alaska 2025 trip, where every moment is infused with the spirit of adventure and the memory of cherished plans.

An Alaska cruise is a unique and unforgettable experience that offers many benefits. One of the key reasons to cruise Alaska versus taking a land tour is to visit destinations along the Inside Passage that you cannot reach by road. Plus, many of the state’s famous glaciers are best viewed from the sea. You can sail through Glacier Bay or Tracy Arm Fjord and see untouched lands. Wildlife is another major attraction on an Alaska cruise. You can spot bald eagles in the wild, ride a dogsled atop an ice field or pan for gold after a hearty salmon feast.
You can join us on a cruise to Alaska to position us to start our most incredible journey or just to give us a great farewell to our greatest adventure!
This odyssey to The Great Land is an epic adventure of national parks, outdoor adventure, untouched nature, and wildlife thriving in the genuine wild. Take it all in as you spend days exploring with local naturalists, boat captains, outfitters, park service staff, lodge owners, and pilots, who share history and stories of their homeland.
Travel by small plane, float plane, boat, train, bus, kayak, and dog sled to explore small towns, classic cities, and the beauty that is everywhere you look. The trip begins in Glacier Bay National Park, where saltwater, temperate rainforest, towering glaciers, and marine life beckon. Seward is next, on the edge of Kenai Fjords National Park, with opportunities to cruise through the fjords and enjoy a salmon bake on a remote island. A night in Anchorage is followed by a day at Brooks Falls in the heart of Katmai National Park, to watch brown bears feeding on salmon. In the shadows of Lake Clark National Park, a stellar backcountry lodge on a pristine mountain lake awaits, with an array of daily activities. Next up is Kennicott, an old mining town with opportunities to hike on a glacier, tour a gold mine, and raft a river, all within the bounds of Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, the country’s largest. The heart of Denali National Park – 90 miles in – is unforgettable, and a place where most never go. You’ll stay in cozy cabins near Wonder Lake on the flanks of the mountain. Finally, one night in Fairbanks allows you to reset your “spectacular” meter, before heading on to the last destination of this epic adventure, Bettles Lodge, outside of Gates of the Arctic National Park.
What’s Included? Everything you need, plus everything you want.

People say "the time is now" and "tomorrow is not guaranteed" as a reminder that life is unpredictable and finite. We never know when our time on this earth will come to an end, so it's important to make the most of the present moment and not postpone our dreams or goals for the future. The phrase is often used as motivation to take action, seize opportunities, and live life to the fullest. Waiting for the "right time" or putting things off until tomorrow may mean missing out on experiences or regrets for not having acted sooner. Therefore, people often emphasize the importance of making the most of the present moment and taking action towards their goals while they have the chance.
