Yahoo Finance Experience mighty Alaska on the ultimate cruise to America with Good Housekeeping
American holidays are back on and now that the USA is welcoming UK travellers again, we can't think of a better way to celebrate than with the very best adventure - a luxury cruise to mighty Alaska to spot humpback whales, bears and more.
That's exactly why Good Housekeeping has created an exclusive expedition cruise to the incredible state - for you to get back into the world and explore its most beautiful corners.
During our once-in-a-lifetime trip in May 2022, you'll travel on Aurora Expeditions' luxurious small ship Sylvia Earle for a boutique-style adventure without the crowds.
You'll sail down parts of the Northwest Passage, marvel at majestic landscapes and marine life at Misty Fjords National Monument and visit the Metlakatla Indian Reserve.
Expect to spot sea eagles, salmon and bears in Tongass National Forest, walk in the world's largest temperate rain forest and enjoy Zodiac boat trips to see glaciers, whales and sea lions as you tick Alaska's most breathtaking sights off your bucket list. It's set to be the adventure holiday to end all adventure holidays!
To make this unique holiday all the more special, we've included three days in Canada, where you can explore the vibrant city of Vancouver, taking in its fantastic lifestyle, dining in its fine restaurants and soaking up the fabulous atmosphere before you embark on your Alaskan cruise.
