In
Southeast Alaska there are no roads connecting
the major cities. Juneau is a capital city
without highway access. Although cruise ships
visit several ports, they tend to have
thousands of passengers, and shore time is
often limited. As a viable alternative for the
independent traveler we have designed the
Magical Fjords and Rainforests. Now you can
explore Southeast Alaska in your own time,
travel aboard small vessels and make
convenient airline hops to the next
destination. This tour operates in both
directions. Getting to or from Alaska should
be part of the holiday, and the Magical Fjords
route can form a viable segment of your
journey. With good air connections between
Seattle, Ketchikan, Juneau, and Anchorage, it
makes planning your route easy. Our
reservation team will work with you to set
your route.
