Your luxury Alaska holiday awaits

There is no place like Alaska—untouched, rugged and staggeringly beautiful. A place where dog sledding is a way of getting around, and where you’ll find some of the best cruise routes on the planet. Our advisors recommended sailing the Inside Passage, with shore excursions to glaciers and quirky towns like the capital, Juneau.

Vast and elemental, Alaska offers a rare kind of escape, one where nature still reigns supreme. Days are spent heli-hiking across untouched alpine ridges, kayaking alongside breaching whales, or indulging in chef-prepared meals showcasing wild-caught salmon and foraged ingredients.

As night falls, the sky becomes its own spectacle. In the darker months, there are few greater privileges than witnessing the Northern Lights in absolute silence, from a private hot tub beneath the stars or the floor-to-ceiling windows of a glass-roofed chalet. Alaska offers a sense of solitude that feels increasingly rare.

  • “Words can’t describe what it’s like to see bears in front of you, feasting on fat salmon they plucked from the stream. Bear viewing excursions in Alaska are popular with cruise passengers, and apart from the bears, the sheer amount of glorious forest and the mirror-smooth waterways is mind-blowing.”
