For example, 'Haines off the Beaten Path' visits the artists’ enclave of Mud Bay with a tour of Extreme Dreams Art Studio, a handcrafted timber-frame gallery filled with creations by local artisans. The excursion ends with a guided visit to the quirky yet fascinating Hammer Museum.
In Icy Strait Point, travelers can taste fresh seafood in a rustic setting hosted by an Alaskan fisherman who'll give an expert filleting demonstration.
And from Skagway, a trip in the White Pass & Yukon Route’s luxurious Legacy Club Car features a private guide.
Azamara’s Land & Sea Experiences include pre- and post-voyage land programs of two to six nights. 'Untamed Alaska, Native Villages,' for example, involves a traditional community gathering, riverboat cruising or an afternoon at a dog handler kennel to learn about the famed Iditarod Dogsled race and meet Alaskan huskies.
