Alaska what it has to offer

The Last Frontier. Also known as the 49^th State and home to some of the most ecologically diverse and remarkable ecosystems in the world, Alaska is in its prime. Making the transition between the cold winter months and the warming, albeit still cool summer months, this very moment is the ideal time to explore our most northern state.

The fusion of nature and mankind presents visitors with a delicate blend, offering the best both can offer in picturesque settings – old towns from the gold rush days standing in the shadows of snow-covered mountains, their reflection bouncing off the lake in front of them. What could possibly be better than that?

Want to explore the outdoors, but aren’t quite so brave? Then a cruise is the perfect choice. The sighting of whales, seals, sea lions, orcas, sea otters, mountain goats, even brown and black bears from the safety and protection of a ship are common, letting you come within enough distance to appreciate, but not disturb, them. Another great option for a sea-faring explorer is a riverboat ride on a grand sternwheeler. Dating back to the early days of exploration, sternwheelers are a great way to take a trip back in history while still enjoying all of the modern amenities.

Experiencing the culture and entertainment firsthand is what will really set your trip to Alaska apart. Right off the screens of The History or National Geographic Channel, visitors can immerse themselves within the native environment via totem carving, dancing, blanket tossing, music, crafts, festivals, museums and heritage centers. Taking influence from not only the local population but also from Russia, your to-do list will grow longer and longer the more you discover.

One of the most relaxing pastimes, Alaska’s fly-fishing, saltwater fishing, freshwater fishing and even ice fishing is known worldwide as being some of the best. From beginner to professional, every level of experience is catered to and met with just about any accommodation possible.

Isn't your hard earn money worth protecting?

If you answered yes to the question above you should consider purchasing travel insurance to protect your next vacation.

Travel insurance can help guard against substantial losses that result from a variety of situations, including canceled trips, lost baggage, medical emergencies and supplier bankruptcies.

Anyone who has spent a significant sum on their summer travel plans would be wise to consider looking after that investment. While you can’t prevent unforeseen circumstances, you can protect yourself and your wallet, and get a little peace of mind in the process.”

Most insurance policies cover the following:    

• Trip Cancellation: The most important and common type of travel insurance. Generally covers non-refundable payments or deposits if a trip is canceled or interrupted due to unforeseen circumstances.
• Trip Delay: Provides reimbursement for expenses incurred when a trip is delayed.
• Accident/Sickness Medical Expenses: Covers costs incurred due to injury or illness that occur while on a trip.
• Medical Evacuation/Emergency Transportation: Covers transportation when a medical emergency while traveling requires transportation to a hospital or other medical facility.
• Supplier Default: Covers deposits or payments lost due to the financial default of a travel supplier.
• Baggage/Personal Effects Loss or Delay: Covers losses due to items lost, damaged or delayed during a trip.

So delay and just ask how much it would be to purchase travel insurance for your next trip!

3 basic steps to consider when purchasing travel insurance

Three basic steps when considering purchasing travel insurance.

First, determine your needs. Can you afford the financial risk of losing your vacation investment if something goes wrong due to illness, weather, or other unforeseen circumstances? Also, does your health insurance cover you while in a foreign country? And if you become injured abroad, can you afford the cost of a medical evacuation? You may be surprised to learn that 50 percent of Medicare recipients may not be covered abroad.

Second, evaluate your current coverage. What is and isn’t covered by insurance coverage provided by your credit card or other existing policies?

Third, once you decide travel insurance is right for you, compare policies.
