WHY TRAVEL TO<br />

ALASKA WITH<br />

<strong>AMB</strong>ASSADAIR?<br />

We are the Alaska experts.<br />

We’ve been in the travel business for over 64 years, and we’ve<br />

been sharing Alaska with our guests for the past 36 years!<br />

Most members of the Ambassadair team have traveled<br />

to Alaska, so our trips are planned and designed using<br />

this expert, insider knowledge to give you the best Alaska<br />

experience possible. We know the in’s and out’s because we’ve<br />

traveled these trips ourselves. We sweat the small stuff — so<br />

you can relax and explore care-free.<br />

Because of our longstanding partner relationships, you can<br />

expect the best of everything while traveling with us. One<br />

of those partnerships is with Holland America Line® — they<br />

have over 140 years of experience and are recognized as the<br />

undisputed leader in the cruise industry’s premium segment.<br />

Together we have mastered the Alaska landscape, offering<br />

land and cruise options enhanced with our own favorite<br />

activities, meals and personal touches.<br />

Alaska is incomparable to anything you’ve ever experienced<br />

before ... It truly is the “trip of a lifetime.” So, don’t settle for<br />

ordinary travel. Travel with the Alaska experts, and let us take<br />

you on an adventure.<br />

TRAVEL BY LAND<br />

AND SEA<br />

Experience Alaska from different vantage points when<br />

you travel by land and sea! On both tours you will<br />

witness the wildlife of Denali National Park, ride the<br />

rails of the glass-dome McKinley Explorer train, and<br />

cruise through Glacier Bay National Park.<br />

ALASKA IN-DEPTH<br />

Our most comprehensive Alaska tour, Alaska In-Depth is the<br />

best way to really discover the state and all that it has to offer.<br />

After an in-depth 10-day land exploration of Alaska’s interior<br />

(unique in its inclusion of Canada’s Yukon Territory and Gold<br />

Rush history) you’ll board Holland America Line’s ms Nieuw<br />

Amsterdam for some pampering and relaxation at sea — with<br />

a stop in Ketchikan and a front row seat cruising Glacier Bay<br />

National Park. This tour is our most popular itinerary, and has<br />

been for the past 36 years!<br />

DENALI ADVENTURE<br />

This tour truly explores the highlights of Alaska with more<br />

cruise time to relax — do as little or as much as you desire!<br />

After five days of land exploration from Fairbanks to Denali<br />

National Park and Anchorage, you’ll have eight days at sea<br />

with opportunities to stop in different cities (including<br />

Juneau) to see, do, touch and feel the real Alaska. Adventure<br />

seekers can choose to book an excursion of hiking, rafting,<br />

fishing, and flightseeing. Or take a historical tour, visit with<br />

local natives, photograph totem poles or pop into gift shops<br />

and art galleries.<br />

airline cannot always honor these requests and pricing<br />

our reservations team who can answer the activity level<br />

per trip.<br />

TRAVELERS NEEDING SPECIAL ASSISTANCE Persons<br />

needing special assistance and attention must report<br />

any disability to Ambassadair at the time the reservation<br />

a trip, please call Ambassadair to determine what<br />

assistance might be reasonably given.<br />
