Alaska cruises have become one of the most popular ways to visit Alaska. Cruises feature glaciers, wildlife, great food, entertainment, interesting ports of call and fascinating tours along way.. and you only have to unpack once! There are a number of different cruise itineraries in Alaska offered by most of the major lines.
We highly recommend the Gulf of Alaska cruise itinerary offered by Princess Cruises. These week-long cruises travel between Seward and Vancouver, BC with either a northbound or southbound itinerary. Highlights include Glacier Bay National Park, College Fjord in Prince William Sound, and interesting port towns like Skagway, Juneau and Ketchikan. Shore excursions are available in each port, from historic railroad trips to landing on a glacier by helicopter.
Princess Cruises offers the newest ships in this Alaska market featuring the Sun Princess, Coral Princess, Dawn Princess and Island Princess. These fabulous ships are often called "floating cities", with features like numerous restaurants, lounges, Broadway style entertainment, casinos, health clubs, movie theaters, libraries, and more. Alaska cruises represent a great value - combining your transportation, meal, entertainment and sightseeing expenses into one reasonable fare. You can visit Alaska by Holland America line for better experience. The Gulf of Alaska itineraries feature three ships - the Staten dam, Ryndam and Veendam.

Alaska fishing
Fish On! From Southeast Alaska, to the world famous Kenai River, and into Alaska's interior - Alaska offers some of the best fishing in the word. Enjoy struggling to land monster halibut or a mighty king salmon, or try your hand at fly-fishing for rainbow trout on a secluded Alaska stream. You can fish Alaska from an ocean charter boat, take to a river by jet or drift boat, or fly in by bush plane to a remote Alaska lake or stream. We are happy to suggest the following half and full day Alaska fishing trips, all operated by the leading fishing guide companies in each location.
Alaska Bear Viewing
Alaska is home to over 98 percent of our country's brown bear population so it is no wonder that Alaska bear viewing is a popular visitor attraction. Bears are found in nearly every corner of Alaska. Adult black bears range in weight from 200 to 500 pounds while Alaska brown bears may grow as large as 1,500 pounds. Grizzlies and brown bears are part of the same Alaska bear family.
The term brown bear is usually given to bears that reside in Alaska coastal areas, while grizzlies usually reside inland. Alaska brown bears tend to be larger than grizzlies due to a more abundant supply of protein to eat such as salmon. Viewing a bear in the wilds of Alaska is a truly awesome experience, and often one of the highlights of a trip to Alaska |
