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

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 />

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 />

Mon, Aug 5: This morning, before arriving into Juneau, an optional tour to Tracy<br />
Arm Fjord* is offered from the ship via catamaran. Nestled between 3,000-foot-high<br />
granite walls, the narrow, twisting slice of ocean called Tracy Arm Fjord weaves<br />
through the Tongass National Forest for roughly 35 miles. The shoreline is spotted<br />
with waterfalls created by melting snowcaps, and trees sprouting at odd angles<br />
from rocky outcroppings. The dramatic twin Sawyer Glaciers at the end of Tracy<br />
Arm are framed by mountains on either side; and are often bathed in a light mist<br />
that amplifies the blue hue of the glacial ice. The glaciers are home to wildlife such<br />
as bears, wolves, and moose; while the fjord’s icy waters are a popular playground<br />
