Why not visit one of the world’s most pristine destinations aboard the luxury of a Holland America cruise ship? Learn all the details and experience special pricing at one of AAA’s On Stage Alaska events. AAA and the wonderful actors of Holland America will be on tour, visiting 29 cities starting in late September 2006 and lasting through the middle of November. Our performers have lived for more than a decade in Alaska and give you an insight into the beauty and points of interest in Alaska that only an insider would know. They’ll pass on intriguing travel tips to enhance your vacation experience. Is On Stage Alaska worth attending? Just ask AAA members Morgan and Rita Jones: “We wish to thank AAA for the marvelous presentation on Alaska. It was because of that presentation that we have reserved a cabin on the Holland America Veendam's 19-day cruise in August. We encourage Holland America and AAA to offer similar presentations on other cruises to whet travelers' appetites. What made the Alaska presentation so effective, from our perspective, was the live testimony of individuals from Alaska. It was much more enlightening and persuasive than reading a travel brochure.” If you attend one of our presentations, you will be able to receive special booking incentives as well as an exclusive AAA Member Benefit. Choose one of the AAA Diamond Vacations—our exclusive collection of distinctly different escorted vacations—that fits your style and schedule, and enjoy special inclusions, such as exciting destination-themed parties, special onboard events, additional nights at selected destinations, additional meals, AAA escort and AAA hospitality desk for personalized service, or a generous shipboard credit (inclusions vary by departure).

Alaska Trivia QuizThink you know Alaska? Take our quiz to see if you’re an expert. Answers below.
Arctic Circle and Midnight SunHere’s just one of the many AAA Diamond Vacations to Alaska: In the frozen north, the farther you get from civilization, the closer you get to the vacation of a lifetime. This untouched, untamed world lies far beyond anything you could envision back home. Hundreds of miles off the beaten track, this journey ranks among the world’s most exciting and privileged adventures. Few travel this road each season, and few return unchanged. The road is the Dalton Highway, originally built as a supply line for the North Slope oil fields. Starting on the shores of the Arctic Ocean, you’ll travel southbound, crossing the scenic headland of the ancient Brooks Range at the Continental Divide. Continuing on past Gates of the Arctic National Park—a magnificent wilderness four times the size of Yellowstone—you’ll sightsee through some of the best wildlife-viewing areas in Alaska, with just one group of fellow explorers. You’ll stop at the famed Arctic Circle sign for a souvenir photo and official Arctic Circle Club Certificate, making you a member of a very elite group. Why do they call Alaska the Land of the Midnight Sun? As the Earth orbits around the Sun, its tilt makes the North Pole face towards the sun in summer, keeping it in sunlight as the Earth spins—yes, even at midnight. And as the summer solstice falls within our journey, you’ll truly experience the longest day of the year.
