Learn about Alaska’s history and explore this fascinating land together in the luxury of the Victoria Residential Ship

Alaska’s history is rich and varied, dating back thousands of years to when indigenous peoples such as the Inuit, Aleuts, and Athabaskans lived in the area. Europeans did not discover the region until the 18th century, when the Russians arrived and began the fur trade between 1741 and 1867. In 1867, the United States of America purchased Alaska, making it the 49th state of the United States in 1959.
