As Alaska's biggest city, this serves as one of the main ports for some of our Alaska cruises. Its location on the south-central part of the state on the Cook Inlet south of Denali National Park makes it a great gateway to adventure and exploration of Alaska's virgin wilderness - an excellent extension of a cruise. While it is usually just a stop on an Adventure Life expedition, you will usually have a chance to enjoy a meal in town and learn a bit more about the lore and legends at the famous Alaska Native Heritage Center, where you can witness dance and cultural displays and exhibits that will immerse you in Alaska's centuries-old indigenous traditions. Experience authentic Alaska at a wilderness lodge such as Tutka Bay Lodge. Contact one of our Alaska trip experts now to start planning your dream trip to Anchorage today!

We loved the experience of travelling on a small boat with 28 other passengers. The itinerary was excellent, usually including two stops per day at different Croatian islands and only 2-3 hours of sailing. Each of the stops were beautiful; the islands were all unique and memorable and no two stops were the same.

Just as she did last time we booked with Adventure Life, Franny really listened to what we wanted for our trip and went the extra mile to help us build the perfect itinerary.

Amazing assistance! Kevin and his team were so helpful and really gave us great advice. They quickly understood exactly what we were looking for and within a matter of days we had booked our holiday of a lifetime. I would definitely recommend to others.

I was on a trip to the UK while arranging another trip for next year. Was able to work with email and a short call to secure our spot on a tall ship cruise. Good company to work with so far.

I think it was very helpful that Franny and I spoke on the phone. I think she had a better idea of what we were looking for, and she planned a great itinerary for us!
