Instead of finding a clearing and pitching a tent, I prefer booking escorted vacations that deliver natural grandeur along with beautiful, deluxe accommodations. Their cruise tours, such as its 14-day excursion to the Last Frontier, offer a wilderness experience that fits our criteria for soft adventure. The vacation’s first week delivers an Alaskan land vacation that sounds like a dream. You’ll linger in a luxurious lodge where whitewater streams and wooded trails promise memorable encounters with wildlife. You’ll be immersed in emerald forests as you travel in a deluxe railway observation car to Alaska’s crown jewel, Denali National Park. And your two days in Denali will include seeing the majestic peaks, glorious bald eagles and midnight sun that make Alaska a special destination. Enjoy breakfast wildlife sightings from the privacy of your cabin’s verandah. Take advantage of spacious decks to see monumental glaciers in an up-close, personal way.
