HAWAII & ALASKA

The rugged beauty and near-endless nature of Alaska. The unmatched, postcard-ready paradise of Hawaii. Can’t decide between these stunning locations? On one of our Fire & Ice cruises, you’ll get the best of both of these sought-after worlds.

So, how does it work? You’ll kick things off with a holiday Hawaii-style, soaking in its irresistible vibe, as well as the islands’ unlimited sun. Then when you’re finished saying aloha in paradise, get ready to turn down the temperature ahead of your flight to Alaska, where an epic landscape of raw, rustic splendour lets you get your inner explorer on like the pioneers of the past.

Fire & Ice Highlights

World-famous beaches. Deep blue waters. Warm welcomes all around. It’s hard not to fall in love with Hawaii. Secluded and charming, the vibrant colours and mellow vibes make it unlike anywhere else in the States. All of this means Hawaii is as unique as it gets, and that’s just the way the locals like it. 

On a Hawaii cruise, there’s no shortage of things to delight and entice you. Make way for Hanalei Bay, the beach that couldn’t be any more perfect. Take your breath away with a trip to Volcanoes National Park, and then catch it ahead of a hike with local guides.

Prefer to kick back and relax? Good vibes are never in short supply here, so sip on locally made rum at a beach shack with the heat on your back. Just don’t forget the sun cream!

3,000 miles north of Hawaii, it’s onto Alaska. Ditch the beach towel and throw on your winter boots because things are about to get colder – but no less amazing! Grand and sweeping, Alaska unfolds with a scenic beauty that’s unlike anywhere else on Earth. Sure, it gets cold, but the people, wildlife, glaciers and nature get the insides glowing with a world-changing warmth.

So, what’s in store on an Alaska cruise? Whether you stay on deck or venture on land, there’s plenty of sights to see. For glaciers, how about Mendenhall? Juneau’s most famous ice floe, this 13-mile mammoth is an unbelievable vision, turning a deep blue when the clouds come in. Or there’s the Tongass National Forest, the largest of its kind in the US. Almost as big as Ireland, it houses small towns and villages within, and offers a tranquil stroll for ramblers, roamers and hikers of all stripes.

TWO WORLDS, ONE HOLIDAY

Experiencing two totally different landscapes, climates and cultures on holiday is a rare treat – especially when you can do it without breaking the bank. 

A beautiful and remote paradise, Hawaii is an incredible destination packed with wonderous surprises at every turn. Beaches that look like they’ve been plucked out of a film. Mountainous cliff faces and volcanoes. A warm, welcoming spirit that gets under the skin. These things all make Hawaii a must-visit.

Almost, but not quite, its polar opposite, Alaska is equally magnificent in its own way. A majestic realm of ice, lakes, mountains, and wildlife, Alaska is a unique cruise destination, and one that might fly under the radar of most travellers. But step one foot onto its vast lands, and you’ll soon see what all the fuss is about. 

But despite only being six hours apart, why is Alaska cold and Hawaii hot? Well, it’s down to a few different factors. Alaska is much further north than Hawaii, so it gets less intense, year-round sunshine. Hawaii is also much closer to the equator, so the sun is basically perched directly over the state every single day, bathing it in lovely heat from morning to evening.
