Why you should go: Alaska and Japan consistently resonate with members. This 25-day fly-cruise-tour adds wildlife depth to a proven pairing. Bears in Alaska. Monkeys in Nagano. Nature bookends across hemispheres. Alaska’s wilderness delivers wildlife on a serious scale. Cruise past the immense face of Hubbard Glacier and watch electric-blue ice crack and thunder into the sea. College Fjord lines the horizon with glacier-draped peaks. In Juneau, whale-filled waters reinforce the frontier setting. Scenic sea days across the Pacific and over the International Date Line transforms an Alaska sailing into a transpacific journey. When Royal Princess arrives in Yokohama, the second chapter begins on land. The focus shifts from glaciers to temples, mountain towns and alpine villages. In Nagano, snow monkeys bathe in natural hot springs, a behaviour found nowhere else. Continue to UNESCO-listed Shirakawa-go and Takayama before reaching Kyoto and Nara’s sacred deer. Cruise Lake Kawaguchiko for clear views of Mount Fuji before departing from Osaka. A two-night Seattle stay, the cruise and guided touring through Japan are brought together in this elevated journey with Cruise1st.
