PORTS OF CALL

Anchorage, Alaska

Anchorage is more than a gateway to the Alaskan frontier; it is a vibrant, modern city that serves as the perfect urban basecamp for your multi-day adventure. With an extended stay, you have the luxury of time to immerse yourself in the unique intersection of culture, history, and immense natural beauty that defines this northern metropolis. After days of engaging lectures at sea, Anchorage invites you to decompress and explore at a relaxed pace.

Your first afternoon is ideal for orienting yourself in the walkable downtown. Begin at the Anchorage Museum, a world-class institution that provides essential context for your journey. Its compelling exhibits on Northern art, history, and Indigenous cultures offer a sophisticated foundation for understanding the region. Afterwards, embrace the fresh air with a leisurely stroll or bike ride along the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail. This paved path, starting downtown, winds along the shores of Cook Inlet, offering stunning views of the surrounding Chugach Mountains and, on a clear day, the distant, majestic peak of Denali. Keep an eye out for local moose, who are frequent, unbothered visitors even this close to the city.

As evening descends, Anchorage’s culinary and craft scene comes alive. This is your chance to savor the authentic taste of Alaska. Seek out a restaurant specializing in fresh-caught salmon, halibut, or king crab, prepared with innovative flair. Later, unwind at one of the city’s many craft breweries or distilleries, where local ingredients are transformed into unique, flavorful libations. During the summer, you can enjoy these experiences under the ethereal glow of the midnight sun, a truly unforgettable phenomenon.

With a full second day, you can venture further afield. For a profound cultural experience, visit the Alaska Native Heritage Center. Here, you can engage directly with the traditions of Alaska’s 11 major cultural groups through storytelling, artist demonstrations, and immersive walks through life-sized traditional dwellings set around a picturesque lake. Alternatively, embark on one of the world’s most scenic drives south along the Turnagain Arm. The highway is carved into the mountainside, offering dramatic vistas and opportunities to spot Dall sheep or beluga whales. A worthy destination on this route is the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, a sanctuary providing spacious, naturalistic habitats for orphaned and injured Alaskan wildlife, including bears, bison, and eagles. It’s a respectful and rewarding way to see the state’s iconic animals.

Your final evening offers a perfect opportunity for a farewell dinner and to find a meaningful memento of your trip. Downtown galleries feature exquisite works by Native artists, from intricate carvings to beautiful prints, allowing you to take a piece of Alaska’s powerful spirit home with you. In Anchorage, the extended time in port transforms a simple stop into a rich, layered, and restorative Alaskan experience.

  • You have a traffic accident (not breakdown) on the way to the airport
  • A storm shuts down your airport for 24 hours or more

TRIP INTERRUPTION

Reimburses your unused, non-refundable travel expenses and increased transportation costs during your trip if you have to return home early due to a covered reason, for instance when a family member has a qualifying medical emergency and needs your care. Examples include:

  • You have a covered illness or injury and a doctor says you must return home
  • A family member has a qualifying injury and needs your care
  • A covered emergency, like a fire or flood, makes your home uninhabitable

TRAVEL DELAY

If you have a covered delay while traveling, travel insurance can reimburse you for meals, accommodations, and transportation expenses when your trip is delayed for a minimum number of consecutive hours for a covered reason. Minimum number of hours varies by plan.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL AND DENTAL CARE

Reimburses your expenses related to covered medical and dental emergencies* that might occur on your trip. This benefit can be especially helpful if you have a covered emergency outside the United States, as most health insurance policies won’t cover you outside the country. Examples include:

  • You slip and break your ankle while sightseeing
  • You get food poisoning while sampling the local cuisine
  • You lose a filling and need immediate dental treatment*

*A sublimit and maximum apply for this benefit. Check your plan documents for details.
