Travel Guide
Welcome to your Free Luxury Travel Advisor Alaska Travel Guide — your personal guide to exploring one of Earth’s most breathtaking frontiers. This digital guide showcases six incredible destinations: Ketchikan, Sitka, Skagway, Juneau, Fairbanks, and Denali National Park, along with must-do excursions, local tips, and luxury travel experiences.
Ketchikan
“Ketchikan, located at the southern tip of Alaska's Inside Passage, is often the first stop for many cruise travelers. This colorful town is renowned for its rich Native Alaskan culture, its bounty of salmon-filled waters, and its location at the edge of the lush Tongass National Forest. With its totem poles, charming waterfront boardwalks, and wildlife encounters, Ketchikan captures the spirit of Southeast Alaska like no other.”
Sitka
A coastal treasure where volcanoes, sea otters, and Native traditions await. Situated on Baranof Island along the outer coast of Alaska’s Inside Passage, Sitka offers a rare blend of natural beauty and deep-rooted history. It was once the capital of Russian America, and its streets still echo with cultural footprints from both Russian settlers and the Tlingit people. With snowcapped peaks, serene bays, and cultural landmarks around every corner, Sitka is both scenic and soulful.
Skagway
“Frontier charm meets Alaskan adventure. Skagway is a living museum of the Klondike Gold Rush era, where boardwalks and vintage storefronts transport you back to the 1890s. This small town, nestled between the mountains and sea, offers a unique window into Alaska's wild frontier past. It's also a launching point for thrilling adventures like historic train rides, glacier hikes, and even dog sledding across ice fields.”
Juneau
“Only accessible by air or sea, this capital is a true wilderness gateway. Juneau is Alaska’s remote and rugged capital city, surrounded by mountains, glaciers, and the icy waters of the Gastineau Channel. Though it’s a capital, don’t expect high-rises — Juneau feels more like a small town woven into a national park. It's your launchpad to jaw-dropping adventures like whale watching, glacier trekking, and wilderness hikes.”
Fairbanks
“Midnight sun, northern lights, and geothermal magic. Located in Alaska’s interior, Fairbanks offers a true taste of Arctic life. It's a city that shifts with the seasons — basking in endless daylight in summer and lighting up with auroras in winter. From natural hot springs to frontier museums, Fairbanks provides a perfect blend of culture, comfort, and natural wonder.”
Denali National Park
“Wilderness on a grand scale: wildlife, vast tundras, and North America’s highest peak. Denali National Park is a six-million-acre expanse of raw Alaskan wilderness. It’s home to grizzly bears, caribou, wolves, and of course, Denali — the tallest peak in North America. With its one winding road and minimal development, Denali offers one of the purest wilderness experiences in the world. It’s a place for deep connection with nature and awe-inspiring views around every bend.”
