Big, bold and absolutely breathtaking. No journey stays with you like Alaska!
From the coastline to the heart of the interior, experience the magic that only Alaska can offer on this spectacular 7-days-by-sea and 5-days-by-land, as it delivers all the must-see sights by ship, train and multi-night land tours.
There will also be socials for the HOP attendees during the days at sea.
Alaska is a part of the world where Mother Nature has been left in her natural state and wildlife remains abundant. You may even catch a glimpse of whales breaching the water!
Fly into Vancouver, British Columbia and set sail onboard the luxurious comfort of Royal Caribbean’s ship, Radiance of the Seas.
Once onboard the ship, activities, entertainment and incredible food will be provided.
The ship offers a wide array of port excursions to fit your lifestyle. Tours are the best way to enjoy the magnificent sights in each port-of-call as well as the culture and warm embrace of the local people.
Alaska has some of the world’s most spectacular glaciers in the world. These glaciers often drop vast chunks of ice into the sea. This process is called calving and can sound like a massive clap of thunder! Catching a glacier while it calves makes for some incredible pictures!
During the land portion of this HOP, you’ll witness lush rainforests, towering mountains and salmon making their way upstream in the clear river streams, with bears and moose roaming freely in their natural habitat.
You’ll be looking for Alaska’s “big five,” the caribou, moose, bear, grey wolves and Dall Sheep.
Step on the Wilderness Express, and ride in the glass-domed train car to Fairbanks; overnighting in Fairbanks.
Escapees will take care of all the planning, transportation and lodging on this fully escorted, multi-night land tour.

The HOP Department strives to provide an exceptional and memorable experience; Alaskan wildlife encounters are not a 100% guaranteed.
However, we will be traveling at peak times, going out for activities and staying several nights on land to optimize our chances of success. Not having an encounter is an extremely rare occurrence.
Occasionally days and times of tour activities can vary depending on circumstances with the weather, traffic, length of tours and our vendors.
We highly suggest you protect your investment on this HOP by purchasing trip insurance.
If you or a family member has a pre-existing medical condition, consider purchasing trip cancellation or interruption insurance. Insurance can also help with covering unexpected illnesses or emergencies while on the trip.
