Jagged mountains of granite and snow rear up against the deep blue sky, like monuments of Time. Glaciers gleam slick and white, encircled by the arctic blue of the ocean. Now and then the horizon catches fire with the trembling rainbows of the Northern Lights. The Indians called this place Alaska, 'the Great Land,' and it is a country that teaches the full meaning of wonder. For a thousand miles, your ship threads its way among emerald islets, past rocky headlands, over still blue waters. From the moment when the sun rises over the peaks of distant mountains, to the most gorgeous sunsets you've ever seen, each day is a new revelation. Pause to go ashore and explore historic ports, whispering echoes of trial and triumph. Pass Hubbard Glacier and College Fjord, two of the most amazing places on earth.
