Newmarket Holidays has expanded its tour and cruising collection with a brand-new group holiday exploring Alaska and the Californian coast, becoming the first operator to combine these two contrasting destinations.

The escorted tours specialist has also revamped its popular Deep South Rhythms, Key West & Bahamas Cruise itinerary, adding extra nights and new stops.

Alaska Cruise & America's Great West is a 17-day land and sea journey along America's west coast, starting with five-days of visits to Santa Monica, Hollywood, Sunset Boulevard, Santa Barbara and San Francisco, with a variety of guided tours and free time to explore each famous destination.

Guests then board the MS Carnival Luminosa to cruise through the North Pacific, enjoying two days of on-board relaxation before stopping at the Alaskan capital of Juneau, followed by visits to the historic Gold Rush town of Skagway, the dramatic scenery of the Tracy Arm Fjord, Alaska's first city of Ketchikan, and a final stop at Prince Rupert, British Columbia's 'City of Rainbows', before sailing back to San Francisco.

Prices start from £3,510 per person (saving £389 until 13 March), including five nights' room-only hotel accommodation, 10 nights' full-board accommodation on the MS Carnival Luminosa, excursions, tours, transfers, internal flights and return flights to Heathrow, with departures in August and September 2026, (newmarketholidays.co.uk, 0330 341 1927).
