Premier Alaska Tours to feature an Alaska-size Prevost fleet Sainte-Claire, QC, October 10, 2012 –

Premier Alaska Tours took possession of two new 2013
Prevost H3-45 coaches in July, part of a major push to expand and upgrade its sizeable fleet.

When the ambitious plan is completed, the Anchorage-based company will have over 50 Prevosts in its stable of 75 motorcoaches and support vehicles. They will be used primarily for tours of “the Great Land,” which Premier Alaska Tours runs year-round in conjunction with tour operators in the Lower 48. The company also provides some charter or scheduled service, primarily to transport workers traveling between North Slope mining, pipeline, and oil facilities, the so-called “man camps” where they reside, and other parts of the vast state.

Jacob Lyon, director of motorcoach operations, said that it’s not unusual for the average Premier motorcoach to put on nearly 25,000 miles a year. And road conditions are challenging, he noted. “There can be a lot of frost heaves. That’s one reason why our customers are in love with the Prevosts. The ride they get is fantastic—it’s so smooth.” Premier drivers are hardcore Prevost fans too. “They love all the bells and whistles. The H3-45 is just a great motorcoach.”

Premier Alaska Tours, founded in 1995, is owned by Peter Grunwaldt and Tim Worthen. Its staff of 30 full time employees grows to over 200 during the busy season as travelers come from all over the world to witness the mystery, spectacle, and color of this unique state. The company is dedicated to helping visitors “experience the real Alaska, not just pass through it.” And with its contingent of Prevosts at the ready, Premier is proud to offer “Alaska’s finest fleet of coaches.”
