Cruising Alaska

01st June till 13th June

We are thrilled & delighted to have you with us on our upcoming Cruise to Alaska.

To many people, the word “Alaska” conjures up a wide range of feelings. A person who is unfamiliar with it might think it means Eskimo, Snow, “Wilderness”. However, the adventurer uses it as a synonym for “exploration”, “extreme”, “uncharted” and “vast”.
& for our Senior wanderers, KareVoyage promises to turn this holiday experience to be amazing, majestic & truly memorable.

No matter what words once can use to describe what Alaska is, or means to them, the old adage that “a picture is worth a thousand words” is the only way to express how special this 49th state really is…!

The only way to find out is to go there and see for yourself.
Alaska cruises are one of the most famous—and popular—ways to see the great state. Cruises are just easy: You only have to unpack once. Meals and entertainment are taken care of. Your only job is to relax while sailing through some of the world’s most magnificent coastal scenery. You’ll call on 2-3 small coastal towns in Alaska’s Inside Passage, have glacier experiences, enjoy 24-hour dining, and have at your disposal all the amenities of a floating resort- casinos, gyms, lavish shows, spas, huge restaurants. Big ships are ideal for Senior travelers.

What more it is best of both the worlds. We cover Alaska along with Vancouver in Canada and Seattle In USA.
