One of the biggest travel trends today is that of multi-generational families traveling together. Boomers are finding themselves in the position of staying close to aging parents and raising younger children. Older folks are living longer than ever before and this means a whole lot of togetherness. What better way to share family memories and experiences than to travel to Alaska together.
In the vast wilderness, you can find plenty of adventure, share inside secrets, and create new memories.
Un-Cruise Your Way to Alaska
InnerSea Discoveries has created what they deem an “Un-Cruise” where you get to choose an adventure that is flexible and in alignment with your Alaskan vacation dreams. While bigger cruise lines host hundreds of thousands of travelers, your InnerSea Discoveries “Un-Cruise” can offer you a more intimate Alaskan experience.
On an “Un-Cruise” you can get up close and personal with wilderness and the wildlife that it holds. Whether you wish to see the Inside Passage on a seven-day small ship cruise or a 21 day sail in Glacier National Park, an “Un-Cruise” will surely float your boat.
Surround yourself in the midst of icy glaciers or come as close as you ever thought you could to a breaching whale. A small ship adventure will have you receiving more personal attention and possibly a more rewarding Alaskan adventure, as you share moments of a lifetime with each of your family members.
Take a Tour: See the Sights
When traveling around with your family clan, you will want to have everything planned out to the best of your ability. Sometimes this will require the aid of a tour company. An experienced Alaskan tour company and guide can make certain that all of your extended family’s needs are met and everyone has an exciting adventure.
Imagine sitting around the Thanksgiving table next year and everyone has a thrilling anecdote from your Alaskan adventure to share. There are no inside jokes, only stories about Alaska’s Inside Passage.
Picture sharing your anecdotes about gliding in on Alaska’s waterways on a float plane as a family or the time when you got “this close” to a humpback whale you could almost touch it or even the moment when a family of bald eagles regally soared over your heads.
A tour company offers many benefits. You can book your tours with confidence knowing that your entire family’s needs are taken into account and everyone will have an exhilarating, personalized adventure in Alaska.
A tour company offers you the opportunity to ask for special needs or assistance and can take the leg work out of accommodating everyone and making them all happy. All you have to do is sit back and prepare for the exhilarating trip of a lifetime.
