We are currently booking for the 2019 Tours:  The 2019 Tours route and events will be the same as the 2018 tours, the only possible change would be the price of the tour. We will know that figure by the middle of this summer when we are given the prices for 2019 by our rv parks and tour event operators.  We also have to figure in a cost of living index for the upcomming summer.  The short answer is for the last 25 years the price encrease is usually around 7-8 percent which is about even with inflation.  If you sign-up now you will have an opt-out period after the 2019 prices are posted.  We will email you the new price and you can confirm to stay on the 2019 tour or if you decline we will refund your $500 deposit in full. 

So feel free to sign up now for the 2019 season.  Call us to hold your spot and follow that up with submiting your registration and deposit.  We will have you fill out the 2018 registration form and write 2019 on the top.  We have over 13 people already signed up for 2019 and usually sell out by the end of this summer........hope to hear from you soon to join us or with any questions you may have.  Spike 800 842 7764 or email:  Spike, Alaskan Discovery RV Tours, Ltd.

Please CompareSmall Group at Salmon Glacier

While we believe our tours are the best, you should look around to find the caravan company that best suits your interests and needs.  We are not the most expensive nor the cheapest, but the best with what we offer and the tours we visit.  When you compare us and what we provide; places we visit and tours we take you will see a big difference between us and all other caravans to Alaska.  Most other Caravans have one time hired Wagonmasters and roundtrip itineraries.  They lack the experience in Alaska and count going home as part of the tour to make the trips seem longer and more worthwhile. 

Meet our past customers at our Florida rally and hear directly from them how wonderful and educational our Caravans to Alaska are.  Our photo section goes back 3 years and covers all 3 tours each summer.  Visit them to see where we go and what we do in photo album style.
