Welcome to the Pete's Ultimate Alaska registration!

Although the recent temperatures and snow over the weekend may have seemed like an Alaskan winter, Burke will be seeing the real Alaska starting on June 25, 2010. We will be starting our vacation by sailing from Vancouver, Canada to Seward, Alaska on the beautiful Celebrity  “ Millennium”.   Upon completion of the cruise portion of the trip,  we will begin a fantastic land tour of Alaska including two nights at Denali National Park where you will be able to see Mt. McKinley, the highest mountain in the United States as well as the spectacular  Alaskan flora and fauna.

Roxanne and I will be escorting BURKE GOES TO ALASKA 2010 on June 25.  We are planning to make this the trip of a lifetime.  We have incorporated some special events for you above and beyond what the cruise lines and cruise tours would normally provide to make this a truly special and memorable vacation.  These will include:

 

 

Will this be YOUR year to experience ALASKA?

Arrive Vancouver 24 June

25 June 5 ½ hour Vancouver Highlights and Capilano Suspension Bridge Tour*, then transfer to Celebrity Millennium depart 5:45 PM.

Most of Canada's imports from and exports to the Orient and Australia pass through Vancouver, Canada's gateway to the Pacific. From the harbor entrance, you can see the Lion's Gate, made up of twin mountain peaks closely resembling crouching lions. Visitors enjoy discovering this cosmopolitan city, from the shops of Robson Street to historic Gastown.

 

Inside Passage Cruising Sat 26 June

Enjoy such stunning sights as green islands, sparkling glaciers, and a coastline that features the most majestic of mountains as you cruise the Inside Passage.

 

Ketchikan Sunday 27 June Excursion Included*

Ketchikan originated as an Indian fish saltery, but the town's major growth began when it became a supply base and entry port for miners during the 1898 Gold Rush to the Klondike. Much of the town's colorful past is still in evidence, especially in the nearby Indian villages, where you'll see colorfully carved totem poles and hear the fascinating legends that surround them.

Icy Strait  Monday 28 June

 

Icy Strait Point is located near the city of Hoonah, the largest native Tlingit Indian settlement in Alaska, and very near Glacier Bay National Park. Home to a historic cannery, the port's connection to the sea is strong. Locals share the sea with humpback whales, orcas, Dall porpoises, seals, sea otters, halibut and all five species of Pacific salmon. It is not uncommon to spot a humpback or an orca while walking along the shore.

Juneau Tuesday 29 June Excursion included*

Juneau, the capital of Alaska, was founded during a gold rush in 1880. Today, the former gold-mining town counts among its riches some of Alaska's most spectacular scenery. Nestled at the foot of Mt. Juneau in the Alaska Panhandle, it faces the water from the mainland side of Gastineau Channel. Several magnificent fjords are located along the channel coast, and the majestic Mendenhall Glacier, a favorite of visitors, is nearby.

 

Skagway Wednesday 30 June  Excursion included*

When gold was discovered in the Klondike region of the Yukon Territory (just across the border from Alaska), it resulted in the historic Gold Rush of 1898. As thousands of gold-crazed adventurers sought the best starting point for their arduous trek, they found the deepest penetration possible by boat was at the northern tip of the Lynn Canal. This is how Skagway was born.

 

Hubbard Glacier  Cruising 30 June

The longest river of ice in North America, the Hubbard Glacier is also one of the most active glaciers of its kind in Alaska. And since our ships are designed to provide our guests with the best viewing possible, you'll be able to see this massive natural wonder, with its 1,350 square miles of blue ice, from just about anywhere on the ship.

 

Seward  Disembark Cruise 1 July  Begin Land  Tour of Alaska

Seward is not only one of Alaska's oldest communities, it's also one of its most scenic. Visit and discover this picturesque town known as the gateway to Kenai Fjords National Park. You'll find a historic downtown district filled with quaint shops and art galleries, and some of the most exciting outdoor adventures imaginable.
