This adventure reveals the wild beauty and enthusiastic people of “The Last Great Frontier,” from British Columbia to Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula. Explore these frontier lands by cruising pristine waterways and reliving the Gold Rush era through old-time vaudeville and historic tours. Watch for wildlife in the forests and hillsides of Denali National Park. A highlight for all is camping right on the Homer spit at the “Halibut Capitol of the World.” Ladies and Gentleman pack your poles for salmon fishing right from the campground. Then we move on to Prince William Sound for a boat tour of the massive glaciers and watch for sea lions, puffins, orcas and humpback whales. If we are lucky we’ll even witness a glacier calving…Oh what a sight to behold! Now for the grand finale along the Cassier Highway, where eagles fly, bears roam and trout swim in the streams along the way. What a great ending to a Fantasy epic in the USA’s Great White North! Read articles, watch videos and share your comments on our Alaska RV Tour Blog.

"Fantasy's Alaska trip was a great experience for us. It was much more than we ever expected."

James & Waneta Holt,
Newton Falls, OH

--

“On the first day of our 48 day Alaska Caravan we were presented with 3-ring notebooks setting forth every day’s travel and activity, right down to what you could expect to find at almost every mile marker along the road. There was even an entry saying “At 16.4 mile you will find the best cinnamon buns in Alaska.” Now that’s detail. There were also listings of every fuel stop, as well as photos ops, where you might see animals. Fantasy is superb at planning and organizing. If we had attempted this Alaska trip on our own it might have been a disaster…and no doubt we would not have gotten to experience a small fraction of what we enjoyed in the group experience. All the campgrounds, the boat rides, the entertainment, so many meals and myriad of other activities were pre-arranged, pre-contracted…and we had the wagon master and the tailgunner to shepherd us along the way. There’s no way to replace the enduring relationships molded during those extraordinary seven weeks. Having started as strangers, we ultimately became friends and, finally family. If you are considering Alaska, especially for the first time, we highly recommend Fantasy RV Tours.”
