ALASKAN CRUISE EXPERIENCE🛳️🧊🌲

This was my Alaskan cruise experience! (Unfortunately I lost most of my photos due to my old phone breaking). 10/10 recommend! There’s so many things not even pictured that were amazing 🤩

We stopped at:

📍Ketchikan, Alaska

📍Juneau, Alaska

📍Victoria, Canada

My favorite part:

🚂 THE TRAIN RIDE from Alaska into Canada!

🧊 seeing the icebergs in the water

would you go on a cruise to Alaska? If you’ve been, what’s your fav part about the state?!

An Alaskan cruise offers a unique opportunity to experience stunning natural beauty, with majestic glaciers and captivating wildlife like whales and sea lions. Many travelers rave about the breathtaking views when sailing through Glacier Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that's a must-see! Visiting cities such as Ketchikan and Juneau allows you to delve into the local culture, including rich Native American history and delicious local seafood. The White Pass and Yukon Route train ride from Alaska into Canada is a popular highlight, providing breathtaking mountain views and an immersive ride through historical landscapes. Travelers often recommend booking excursions ahead of time to secure spots for memorable activities like dog sledding or kayaking among icebergs. Before you go, it's also wise to consider the best season for cruising—typically late spring to early fall—to enjoy the mildest weather and optimal sightseeing conditions. Make sure to pack camera gear to capture the incredible scenery, and dress in layers as the weather can change quickly. Would you recommend experiencing the breathtaking landscapes of Alaska on a cruise? What's your favorite Alaskan adventure?
