The Perks of an Alaskan Cruise
Few vacations offer the kind of jaw-dropping sights and one-of-a-kind experiences that a cruise holiday to Alaska offers. In Alaska, the scenery is larger than life, offering passengers glimpses of whales, bald eagles, glaciers, and pristine forests. Referred to as the Last Frontier, an Alaskan cruise allows passengers to get close to nature, eat some of the best salmon and crab legs, get active with a kayaking excursion, and immerse yourself in the outdoor culture. There are even more perks to a cruise holiday to Alaska: 1. Nature Have you ever wanted to get up close and personal with impenetrable wilderness, but in a safe way? Alaskan cruises afford passengers excursions where they can immerse themselves in the spectacular views of Mount Denali and the natural beauty of Glacier Bay. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve is the world’s largest non-polar icefield and ships will typically spend a full day here for sightseeing adventures. We recommend splurging on a balcony stateroom to take in the scenery along the Inside Passage, you might regret not seeing these views. 2. Food When in Alaska, be prepared to dine like a local. Alaska is home to world-famous seafood and a cruise is a great way to sample these delectable treats.
