Amazing Ports of Call
Many of the ports on an Alaskan cruise are only accessible via water or air, and they all have there own very unique personality. Whether you choose to enjoy a unique shore excursion, or explore on your own, they each have so much to offer:
Juneau- The state's capital, and it's you can't drive to it! Yep, it's one of those cities that you'd have to either sail or fly to so a cruise is a great option. This port is excellent for wildlife viewing and whale watching cruises. Other great options are the Mendenhall Glacier or the Mt Roberts tram ride. There's lots to do downtown as well between all the shops and historical locations such as the Red Dog Saloon.
Skagway- Step back in time to the days of the Alaskan Gold Rush. Skagway is home to the White Pass railway and was the starting point for many prospectors that tried to strike it rich in the late 1800's. A stroll down the streets easily paints the picture for you as not a whole lot has changed in this pristine landscape. The railway is a very popular tour, and we can get your ticket booked early so you don't miss out! Some other great options for more adventurous travelers are off road ATV tours and beautiful hiking trails.
Ketchikan- This quiet little fishing town has a ton to offer!
