World famous jazz performer Kenny G has chartered a modern cruise ship – Celebrity Millennium – to create a one of a kind holiday experience in Alaska next year.

Alaska may not be on your list of holiday places but perhaps you would like to think again, as Alaska offers something far different from the UK. In the Southeast you have the Temperate Rainforest turning everything beautifully green, and in summer when Princess Cruises frequents it, it is possible to see Orca, Humpback Whales, Otters, Sea Lions and many other wild animals.

From the breathtaking Denali National Park to the stunning Glacier National Park and the Yukon’s Klondike Gold Rush area, Holland America Line has no less than 17 different itineraries to Alaska next year. All of them will allow passengers to immerse themselves in the incredibly rich natural and cultural wonders of Alaska.

Holland American Line has announced a competition on its Facebook page that will award a lucky cruise lover with a seven-day cruise to Alaska for four people. They will stay in luxurious veranda staterooms. The closing date is the 30th November 2011 and the name of the winner will be announced in December.

If you want to enjoy a cruise holiday in Antarctica, you had better act very quickly or be prepared to face a price hike. The price of a cruise to this region is set to rise next month when new regulations that compel ships in the region to use fuels that cause less pollution come into effect.
