Traveling on a fully guided tour is a perfect way to experience Alaska in the winter. Your transportation is taken care of, a healthy supply of hand warmers provided, and the tour’s dedicated guide there to narrate and assist. At four nights/five days, this trip is also an ideal length: You’ll experience much of Alaska’s wintertime beauty but leave long before you can catch a chill.
