Instead of finding a clearing and pitching a tent, I prefer booking escorted vacations that deliver natural grandeur along with beautiful, deluxe accommodations. Their cruise tours, such as its 14-day excursion to the Last Frontier, offer a wilderness experience that fits our criteria for soft adventure. The vacation’s first week delivers an Alaskan land vacation that sounds like a dream. You’ll linger in a luxurious lodge where whitewater streams and wooded trails promise memorable encounters with wildlife. You’ll be immersed in emerald forests as you travel in a deluxe railway observation car to Alaska’s crown jewel, Denali National Park. And your two days in Denali will include seeing the majestic peaks, glorious bald eagles and midnight sun that make Alaska a special destination. Enjoy breakfast wildlife sightings from the privacy of your cabin’s verandah. Take advantage of spacious decks to see monumental glaciers in an up-close, personal way.

Our Mission More than ten years ago began with an idea. We believed experienced travelers wanted low-cost, high quality travel service. So we designed a discount travel agency with savvy customers in mind. And as we have since 1985, we welcome people who, like us, have a taste for planning their own vacations. Our customers'' research reduces our work, making us a lean, efficient travel enterprise. That enables us to pass on productivity savings to people like you. Judging by our success over the years, our idea has been right on target. This "win-win" situation is what thousands of vacationers want. Today has grown to become America''s leading individual discount travel agency catering to our club.: the prime player in establishing industry-wide standards for agencies, which book cruises.: the world organization of scheduled airlines that''s arguably the single most important group for air travel and land vacations.
