Occasionally, humpback whales can be seen during the summer, as more than 2,000 feed in the waters off Alaska. (Full breakfast / Lunch / Dinner)



• Day 9 - Scenic Crusing – Glacier Bay National Park In the watery wilderness of Glacier Bay National Park, behold a landscape at its moment of creation. Your ship gives you the opportunity to witness the life of virgin land from Sitka-spruce forests alive with grizzlies and wolves, to the algae, lichens and mosses that were the beginnings of life in the region. The shrill noises of modern life are replaced with the thunderous boom of building-size icebergs calving into the sea from vast ice rivers. It is raw, primeval and unforgettable.

And there is no need to hurry; daylight here lasts well into the evening! (Full breakfast / Lunch / Dinner)



• Day 12 - Ketchikan Welcome to the salmon capital of the world! Part of the town is built along a steep hillside and part is built on pilings over the water where bald eagles watch from waterside perches.

Share a Room and Save!

When travelling alone, we understand that some clients do not want to incur the expense of an additional single room supplement. With this in mind, on the majority of our itineraries, Trafalgar offers you the opportunity to purchase these tours on a room-sharing basis. We will accommodate you with a fellow passenger of the same gender on a ‘two-bedded’ basis (non-smoking rooms only). Please note that, regrettably, we cannot guarantee that room mates will be of a similar age group. Even so, it is an enjoyable way to travel and get to make new friends, and a positive way to stretch your holiday budget. If we fail to match you, we will provide a single room at no extra cost.

Please note: This service does not apply to our City Breaks, Greek Island Hopper and Best of Greece tours, Greek tours with Mediterranean cruises, train tours, Egypt, Israel and extra night accommodation.
