An Alaskan cruisetour offers a breathtaking mix of rugged wilderness, majestic glaciers, and rich wildlife, combining the best of land and sea exploration. Sail past towering ice formations like Glacier Bay, witness whales breaching in the icy waters, and explore charming coastal towns each filled with unique history and culture.
Beyond the cruise, many tours extend into Alaska’s interior. Once inland inland, your accommodations, transportation and most meals will be provided by the cruise line giving travelers the chance to be close to the action.
While on your tour make sure to visit Denali National Park, ride the historic Alaska Railroad, or experience Indigenous culture. Whether admiring the Northern Lights, hiking through pristine landscapes, or spotting bears and eagles in their natural habitat, an Alaskan cruise tour is an unforgettable journey into the wild beauty of the Last Frontier.

You’ll have the opportunity to see a grand view of Alaska from its glacier laden coastline and its rugged inland wilderness. Featured below are a few of our favorite things to do on an Alaskan cruisetour:
- Learn about the natives of Alaska at the Alaska Native Heritage Center in Anchorage. Here you’ll discover all 11 of Alaska’s native groups and learn about their beliefs and customs through song, dance and games.
- Take a small plane to get a great view of Alaska and then embark on a nature walk where you’ll end up at a viewing platform where you can spot black bears feeding on salmon in the Tongass National Forest.
- Experience the exhilaration of whitewater rafting in the Nenana River. This river offers Class III and IV rapids which are perfect for first timers and those looking for a thrill.
