The world is full of amazing destinations, perhaps too many to comprehend. Deciding where to visit for your next getaway can be overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be.
We asked our guests what some of their best memories were on a YMT Vacation so you can use them as inspiration for your next trip.

“It was a dream come true for me to take a cruise to Alaska with my sis-in-law. My first cruise ever and I have always wanted to go to Alaska for the last 40 years, the cruise, the amazing food, wonderful hotels, and sightseeing tours was just an incredible experience, truly was a dream come true for me!!”
Experiencing Alaska in person is a bucket-list trip for many. Like Kathy, you can enjoy one of our Alaskan cruises and discover the majestic scenery of dense forests, towering mountains, and the vast sea. Watch for sea lions and whales as you cruise through Stephens Passage. In Juneau, Alaska’s state capital, experience an authentic taste of the local culture. For spectacular elevated views, visit Glacier Gardens and its fascinating rainforest exhibit.
If you enjoy charming seaside ports, you will love exploring Skagway, Sitka, and Ketchikan. Don’t miss a visit to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, where you can marvel at elk, bison, and caribou. Take in the rugged beauty and all that Alaska has to offer.

“Our tour director planned a morning visit to Bryce Canyon. In the early morning light, the hoodoos appear magical and almost surreal. It was a spectacular morning walk to one of the National Parks we had longed to visit.”
On our Crimson Canyons & Mesas National Parks Tour, you will experience six of America’s most popular National Parks. Among them is Bryce Canyon, where a peaceful morning walk leads you to its famous hoodoos. These tall, skinny rock formations enchant visitors. More unique rock formations await at Arches and Canyonlands National Parks.
At the Grand Canyon take in the breath-taking views and marvel at the well-named Horseshoe Bend, a u-shaped area along the Colorado River. This tour also includes a drive through the Rocky Mountains and Arapaho National Forest for spectacular views and many picture-worthy vistas.
