Discover the Beauty of Alaska: Explora Journeys Launches New Destination Immersions for Cruises

MSC Group’s luxury travel brand, Explora Journeys, has announced a range of pre- and post-voyage Destination Immersions focused on Alaska and Western Canada, with plans for implementation in Summer 2027. These immersive experiences promote slow travel and meaningful exploration, allowing guests to delve into the region’s wilderness and culture before or after their cruises.

The immersive experiences will last between 3 to 5 nights and will feature deluxe rail travel combined with curated outings that showcase nature, culture, and cuisine, all reflecting the brand’s commitment to refinement.

Introducing Alaska as a destination marks a significant milestone for Explora Journeys. Departing from Seward, guests will experience the pristine wilderness of Alaska’s interior, including visits to national parks and opportunities to see iconic wildlife.

The "Alaska Immersion" will occur over three nights, spanning locations like Anchorage, Denali National Park, and Talkeetna. Guests will travel via luxury dome rail and motorcoach to experience Denali National Park, explore Talkeetna, and visit the Iditarod Headquarters before boarding the cruise.

For those seeking a more extensive adventure, the "Alaskan Adventure" involves four nights that include two nights in Denali and exciting wildlife encounters, contrasting the scenery from Fairbanks to glacier-framed Girdwood.

The post-voyage offering titled "Encounter Alaska’s Soul" retraces the earlier path, allowing guests to enjoy dog-sledding, tundra tours, and scenic train rides back to Anchorage.

The itinerary "Into the Alaskan Wilderness" spans four nights through locations like Girdwood, Denali, and Fairbanks, highlighting wildlife conservation, sled-dog culture, and the breathtaking expanses of Denali National Park before concluding in Fairbanks.

For guests starting or ending their journey in Vancouver, Explora Journeys offers rail voyages through the Canadian Rockies aboard the renowned Rocky Mountaineer. This journey takes guests from Calgary to Vancouver over five nights, showcasing the majestic scenery of the region, including Banff and glacial lakes.

Anna Nash, President of Explora Journeys, emphasized that these Destination Immersions are designed to provide an authentic and intentional experience, enabling guests to establish deeper connections with the landscapes—from the rugged beauty of Alaska to the cultural insights of the Canadian Rockies. Reservations for these excursions are available through Explora’s website or authorized travel advisors.
