Alaska is world famous for its natural beauty, majestic landscapes and diverse wildlife. Alaska’s Inside Passage Resorts (AIPR) provides travelers the best Alaska has to offer with package deals, tours and cruises.

Alaskan halibut are found on the continental shelf of the North Alaskan Ocean and Bering Sea. They have been recorded on the North American coast from Santa Barbara, California to Nome, Alaska and are also found along the Asiatic coast from the Gulf of Anadyr, Russia to Hokkaido, Japan. Alaskan halibut live on or near the ocean bottom, and prefer water temperatures ranging from 4 to 9° Celsius. Although halibut have been caught as deep as 547 meters, they are most often caught in waters from 28 to 275 meters in depth.

Just as big cruise ships are mostly for people who want every resort amenity, small or alternative ships are best suited for people who prefer a casual, crowd-free cruise experience that gives passengers a chance to get up close and personal with Alaska's natural surroundings and wildlife.
