Have you thought about where to go for winter travel? Take advantage of the season to experience the romance of snow and ice in Alaska! Because Alaska is beautiful in winter, but because of the low temperatures, many roads are icy and there are sudden snowstorms, so travelling in Alaska is a matter of preparing well in advance.
The first is the way to Alaska, because of its remote location, there are generally no direct flights within the United States, and most flights to Alaska take off from Seattle, so no matter what city you are from, you need to arrive in Seattle first and then transfer to this icy world. If you happen to be a local living in Seattle, then not only is it very easy for you to get to Alaska, but since there are many flights from Seattle to Alaska, it's also cheaper to buy tickets. There are two main cities from Seattle to Alaska, one is Anchorage Airport and the other is Fairbanks Airport.
For travel, this article suggests that you rent a car to get around. Self-driving in Alaska is the best travel option for many people in the region.
There are many car rental companies at the airport, so you can compare prices and needs and choose the one you like. But be careful! If you plan to drive 1 to the Arctic Circle, you will pass through one of the most dangerous highways in the world - Dalton Highway, so you need to make sure you have good driving skills and good rental car insurance, otherwise, if an accident happens, it will not only be dangerous but also may face huge compensation. Of course, if you don't want to travel by car, you can also take the train, there is a train route from Anchorage to Fairbanks, but it will take a long time, need a day, and the price is also very expensive, to about $400. So if you are not in a hurry, you can choose to take the train and enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. Along the way, you will pass mountains, and bridges, and may have the opportunity to see wildlife.
In addition to driving and taking the train, another way to travel is by cruise ship. For those who want to see the glacier, they can choose a day cruise tour, which is available in two types, one is a half day and the other is a full day. The cruise ship tour will provide a meal, so visitors can enjoy the glacier while tasting the food. If you are unfortunate enough to get seasick, then be sure to take seasickness medication before joining a cruise excursion. If you plan to join a cruise tour, there are many different cruise lines to sign up for, but each one offers different quality day trips. In this article, we recommend Major Marine Tours and Kenai Fjords Tours as two cruise lines.
