When vacationing, cruising can be one of the absolute best options because you can spend your days out on the magnificent seas and/or exploring alluring landscapes.
When it comes to visiting Alaska, some believe cruises are the best way to discover “The Last Frontier.” Below, I've listed the Top 5 Best Things about cruising through Alaska.
1. With a coastline longer than all of the other US coasts combined, Alaska is listed as one of the best places to cruise in the world.
2. Some bodies of water can be choppy at times in other parts of the world, but it’s rare for Alaskan cruises to sail through anything other than crisp, calm waters.
3. One of the best ways to experience glaciers, some of nature’s most magnificent phenomena, is while cruising. Ships can reach places that cars cannot and being able to see them from one’s balcony is even more extraordinary!
4. Just like it’s better to view glaciers from a ship, so is seeing rare wildlife. On an Alaskan cruise, you can see bald eagles, harbor seals, exotic seabirds, and perhaps a humpback whale.
5. Finally, in between all of the onboard relaxation and merriment, having extra time to tour fascinating towns like Skagway, Juneau, and Anchorage gives cruisers a well-rounded experience.
Sailing through calm water, gliding near gorgeous glaciers, and seeing rare wildlife both on land and at sea is what makes an Alaskan cruise so amazing.
