Canada and Alaska. The Great White North and The Last Frontier. These two North American destinations are perfect for any nature enthusiast or adventure seeker; both boast an abundance of exciting activities, sightseeing opportunities, and wildlife to spot. With Canada and Alaska offering so much to travellers, one fantastic way you can easily experience everything these holiday hotspots has to offer is through a cruise – many of which visit incredible places in both Canada and Alaska, combining the two into one unforgettable getaway.

Cruise holidays are already known as being an excellent way to pack several exciting holiday destinations into one adventure, all whilst knowing you have a comfortable room aboard a stylish cruise ship to come back to at the end of the day; but, a cruise and stay package improves upon that – if you even thought that possible – with hotel stays of varying lengths at the start, middle, or end of your cruise (or a mixture of all three). This means you get all the fun of cruising these incredible destinations, and the excitement of staying right in the heart of the places you're visiting, in one tightly-wrapped package!
