Question by just_curious: Is there a local tour company in Alaska that can take me sightseeing?
I’d like to see the glacier first of all…I’d like to go in the summer…Would it be cheaper than a regular cruise?

Answer by Allison
I’m not quite sure about what you’re asking. Are you saying that you’d like to come to Alaska on your own (no cruise) and book tours yourself? Well, right now cruises are dirt cheap b/c the economy is so down right now. Normally a cruise is super expensive, but now that might actually be your best bet for the ’09-10 cruising season.
There are plenty of touring companies in Alaska. I live in Alaska, and tourism is our “bread and butter.” If you want to book a tour on your own, do your homework and compare prices first. Hope this helps! 😉

We did a single leg from Vancouver to Seward on the Celebrity Millennium in August 2008. Here are highlights of the excursions
www.funforlesstours.com North and Southbound cruises through the inside passage! Feel the warmth of the spring or summer sun as you glide along, past the dense forests of dark green pines, fields of rainbow-hued wildflowers and dazzling white glaciers. In the clear blue sky, silent eagles circle in search of unsuspecting salmon. Just when it seems like the quietest place on earth, you’ll be startled by the sudden splash of a humpback whale breaking the surface. Cherish every moment you spend on this endlessly fascinating itinerary. From the majestic tip of Mt. McKinley to the jagged edge of the awe-inspiring glaciers, Alaska is unlike any place else in the world. There is no better way to travel into some of the worlds most remote areas than on a beautiful cruise ship.

Question by Ryan: What are the best sights to see on an Alaska Cruise?
I am considering an Alaska cruise for next summer and I was wondering which sights can’t be missed…the Gulf of Alaska? Hubbard Glacier? Inside Passage? Tracy Arm Fjord?
Best answer:
Answer by Barbara
Definitely the Inside Passage to see the glaciers. I loved Juneau, Ketchikan, Skagway and for a little Russian flavor Sitka. Good luck, no matter where you go it will be beautiful and an experience of a lifetime. I am so jealous

Question by Gill: Is there any cruise goes to Alaska without stopping in Canada, one way or round-trip?
My friends are visiting the U.S. on single entry visa. They want to go to Alaska, preferably on a cruise. But most Alaska cruises stops in Canada which make them unqualified to board the ships. Does anyone know if there is any cruise, one way or round-trip, that only stops in the U.S. territory? If not, I guess they will just have to fly there.
Best answer:
Answer by All Genre
No. This is because of the Jones Act. A cruise ship must port in a foreign cruise port prior to arriving into its US Destination.

Question by iam1fob: Alaska cruise with no set meal schedule or assigned meal seating?
Does anyone know which cruiseline (destination Alaska) that doesn’t tell you when to eat and where to eat? It’s annoying to follow any set schedules, so i’m looking for a cruise with “restaurants” that do not operate under any set schedule (or assigned seats for that matter). Thanks!
