Would you travel all the way to Finland knowing there's a chance you WON'T see the Northern Lights? 👀❄️

Because here's the thing about chasing the Northern Lights… even if you travel during the best viewing season, there's never a guarantee you'll see them! 🌌

Cloud cover, solar activity, and even the timing of your trip can all play a role.

But imagine spending your days exploring snowy landscapes, experiencing Finnish culture, and discovering a completely different side of Europe. 🇫🇮

Would the trip still be worth it if the Northern Lights never made an appearance?

We're asking because two of our travel advisors, Amity and Tina, are heading to Finland this January to experience Collette's The Northern Lights of Finland guided tour firsthand!

And we're excited to find out just how much this itinerary has to offer beyond the aurora.

So we're genuinely curious: Would you take the chance, or is seeing the Northern Lights a MUST for you to make the trip? 👇

We recently had the opportunity to spend some time at Secrets Riviera Cancun, and it was a wonderful experience! From delicious food and refreshing cocktails to the outstanding service, this resort delivered a great overall experience.  Quieter adults only, with access to more next-door at Breathless Riviera Cancun. 

You don't need 10 friends to plan a group trip to Alaska. You can just join ours. 🏔️🚢

Seriously!

One of the things we love about our Alaska group trips is that you don't have to organize a group, coordinate everyone's schedules, or convince your entire family to come along.

We've already done the planning!

And whether you're traveling as a couple, with a friend, or bringing the whole family, you can join one of our upcoming Alaska departures.

Here's what we've got planned! 👇

🏔️ June 19, 2027 — 7-Day Alaska Cruise, roundtrip from Seattle, including Glacier Bay.

🚢 June 23, 2027 — 10-Day Denali Explorer Cruisetour, combining time on land in Alaska with a southbound cruise.

❄️ June 26, 2027 — 7-Night Southbound Alaska Cruise, with a 417 Travel host!

🏔️ July 12, 2028 — 10-Day Denali Explorer Cruisetour.

And here's something worth knowing: Our June 23 cruisetour and June 26 cruise share the same sailing! That means you can choose whether to experience Alaska by land AND sea or just enjoy the cruise portion.

You don't need to know which itinerary is right for you. That's what we're here for!

Which Alaska experience sounds more like you: cruising past glaciers or exploring Denali National Park? 👀
