And there\u2019s no finer way to discover it than from a cruise ship.<\/h3>\nCruise through Alaska\u2019s Inside Passage, a coastal route that winds its way through landscapes of majestic snow-capped mountains, pristine forested shores and glacier-carved fjords. Visit charming towns and quaint ports, witness wildlife in its natural habit and &#8211; if you\u2019re lucky &#8211; see the stunning northern lights ripple and dance across the night sky.\n\nThe Alaskan portion of the Inside Passage encompasses the state\u2019s capital, Juneau, plus regions such as Ketchikan and Glacier Bay National Park. Cruise passengers voyaging along the Inside Passage can look forward to viewing picturesque coastlines and stunning fjords. Awe-inspiring glacier flightseeing, kayaking and whale-watching is also on offer. Ketchikan began life as an Indian fishing village. Today, visitors can experience the towns rich Native heritage and see the world\u2019s oldest collection of totem poles. It\u2019s also the best place to spot black and brown bears feeding on the spawning salmon in July and August. &nbsp;&nbsp;\n\nThe Kenai Peninsula, nicknamed \u201cAlaska\u2019s playground\u201d, is a haven for outdoor activities such as fishing, hunting and hiking, and boasts breathtaking scenery. The town of Seward, a popular port for cruise ships, is also the location of Mile 0 of the historic Iditarod Trail. Famous Kenai Fjords National Park is home to Harding Icefield, Exit Glacier, Bear Glacier and other stunning natural sights.\n\nThe interior of the state is Alaska\u2019s heartland. Majestic Mt McKinley, North America\u2019s tallest mountain, towers over Denali National Park, where wild moose, bears, wolves and other northern animals roam.\n\nVisit Skagway, a once booming, but lawless, frontier town during the Klondike Gold Rush, where hotels, saloons, dance halls and gambling houses prospered. When the gold dwindled, so did the population however it still retains flavours of the gold rush era. History buffs can visit the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park, or ride a train on the White Pass and Yukon Route Railroad.\n\nTo find out how you can experience Alaska for yourself, contact your nearest Phil Hoffmann Travel branch or call 1300 748 748 for more details.&nbsp;","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to Phil Hoffmann Travel.
