The Canadian ban on cruise ships has impacted Alaska sailings but it hasn't dampened interest, and many American travelers are turning to land-based explorations instead.
Alaska, which is now offering COVID-19 vaccines to all residents 16 and up, has also done away with its last coronavirus-related hurdle, eliminating the need for a negative test upon arrival to the state.
It comes as no surprise that with surging interest but no cruising that travelers would seek to explore Alaska on land this year, rather than by sea. Insight Vacations is providing an option to travelers who are looking for just this type of trip.
