Alaskan cruise tours are the best way to experience the wilds and romance of
North America's "last frontier"!
If you are planning Alaska cruise tours as part of your
Alaska vacation, then you are going to have the very best Alaskan cruising
experience! If not, perhaps you should include some tours in your Alaska
travel cruises vacation.
As with most any cruise, cruises to Alaska offer a host of shore tours for
the enjoyment of the passengers. These can cover an extremely broad range of
activities. Whether your Alaska vacation is a romantic getaway or an
"extreme" adventure vacation, Alaska tours have exactly what you need.
While cruising the Inner Passage to Alaska you will be blessed with some of
the most magnificent scenery. Potential tour stops could occur at locations
such as Ketcikan, Wrangell, Juneau, Skagway, Sawyer Glacier and Glacier Bay.
Sitka, another potential Alaska tour stop is on the Pacific side of one of
the sheltering islands. If your Alaska travel cruises continue to the port
of Whittier Alaska, you have more potential tour locations with the likes of
the Hubbard Glacier and College Fjord.
Once in Whittier, you can add a land tour extension of your Alaska cruise
vacation which will offer you a tremendous number of options! For some
examples of these, check out some of the other articles including Alaskan
Cruises and Tours.
Cruise tours in Ketchikan offer passengers to view the largest and the
world's oldest original collection of totems poles. These art forms of the
northwestern tribes each tell an historical tale of the area. Tour visitors
will experience the distinctive flavor of the town Ketchikan which is partly
built on wooden pilings.
Alaskan tours to Juneau offers a different historical flavor. It was near
Juneau that the first gold discovery was made sparking the "Gold Rush".
Tours to the capital of Alaska can also include touring the surrounding
wilderness. The Juneau Icefield, mountain peaks and glaciers make cruise
tours here fascinating and exciting.
Cruise tour lodges abound in Alaska. Some of the cruise lines even have
their own tour lodges custom built for this specific purpose. Princess
Cruise Lines with a group of tour lodges also have their own specially
designed touring rail cars with glass roofs for sightseeing while being
transported to their tour lodges.
Some of the best cruise tours included in Alaskan cruising are the water
tours. Imagine touring by small boats among ice bergs at the sites of the
famous glaciers. Better yet, tour around in a kayak and get an "up close and
personal" experience with the glaciers and ice bergs.
Fishing tours are available as tour packages in Alaska. Toss your line in
and fight one of the largest salmon in the world! Or enjoy a deep sea
fishing tour if you can't get enough of the sea.
Land tours to glaciers, the mountains and wildlife viewing are among the
large number of cruise tours available in Alaska as would be expected with
the vast size of the wilderness state.
And speaking of wildlife - we haven't even spoken about the cruise
sightseeing itself. Cruise tours enhance the sightseeing passengers can
experience while cruising the waters off Alaska's shores aboard the
magnificent cruise ships. Humpback whales, sea otters, sea lions, bear,
moose, eagles, puffins - all can be viewed from the comfort of the cruise
ship as well as on an Alaskan cruise tour.
From biking to hiking to paddling to riding the rails - there are cruise
tours to suit everyone. For the ultimate Glacier experience, try heli-hiking
the glaciers! Wildlife, wilderness, pristine waterfall scenery and
historical exploring are all available for your Alaskan touring pleasure!
