Tours of Alaska

Here's a selection of Independent Alaska Tours that are available from AlaskaFerry.com and Viking Travel. These sample Alaska tours suggest a typical "day of departure" to coinside with the Alaska Ferry Schedules which do not operate port-to-port every day of the week. All are priced based on two persons traveling but are available with a single suppliment or for families and groups of more than two. These are NOT Group Departures (no big busses of travelers) but operate as Self-Guided trips where you may be traveling with a few other couples doing the same itinerary as you. Tours include a Continental Breakfast daily in many locations.

Please feel free to contact us regarding your specific requests or itinerary. We can customize these to suit your interests. You can always e-mail or call us at 800.327.2571 with questions and we'll discuss your particular Alaska tour request.
