Congratulations to the July Princess Cruises Tour Guides of the Month! Thank you to all the guests who have turned in comment cards and helping our guides achieve this honor.
Dog sledding on a glacier is such a unique bucket list adventure. Not too many people can say they got in a helicopter, flew around amazing, endless scenery and landed on a slow flowing glacier. Just one of these things would be amazing to do. Then dog sledding on the vast glacier is thrown on [...]
The June 2011 C.R.U.I.S.E. Tour Guide Recognition report has just been released and Alaska Icefield Expeditions and Gold Rush Sled Dog Tours have done very well. Thank you to everyone that has helped recognize these folks!

The weather in the 2011 Yukon Quest made a true test of the mushers and dogs. Between waist deep overflow and blizzards wiping out the trail, this was one of the hardest Yukon Quest races. The race started at 25 teams in Whitehorse and only 14 remain in the race. The weather put many teams [...]
