Cruising Review & Travel Guide

More than many other cruise regions, Alaska has a lot to offer for the "outdoor" types. Amongst the many shore excursions available are trail hiking, ice trekking on a glacier, rock climbing, kayaking amongst the icebergs, fishing for trout, halibut and salmon, rafting (scenic river or white-water), horseback riding, tundra driving, helicopter rides and seaplane flights or train rides to the Denali National Park.

Some cruise companies also offer combined sea/land holidays with stopovers in lodges.

You might also like to consider hiring a car to venture inland though bear in mind, there are not that many roads to travel on in the area !
