You will arrive in Nome by plane, but from here you will embark upon a luxurious small cruise ship to the Bering Sea, Northwest Passage, or to British Columbia, Canada. This town is a reminder of the gold rush of 1898 when more than 20,000 hopeful prospectors pioneered the frontier for future generations. The well-preserved saloons, colorful houses, and museums that now characterize this town are a charming way to step into the past and get a taste of the old-fashioned lifestyle. Of course, since the boom ended more than a century ago, the town has become a quiet little destination where you can learn about reindeer herding, sled-racing, and ice fishing, among other engaging activities that will bring your Alaska tour to life!
