Creator's Key Takeaways

I personally would lean towards the itinerary that includes Glacier Bay.

The simplest way of doing it Cathy is what I've said I think maybe the last week or the week before but anyway whenever going to Iceland two things you want to look out for is in Reykjavik there you you should find there is a golden circle tour

Explora Journeys is the only ultra luxury and luxury lines that have a kids program.

I would absolutely stick with a cruise line excursion if you have any doubt.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book early for US port sailings as they are overcapacity and deals are scarce.
βœ“For Alaska, consider itineraries that include Glacier Bay for a more iconic experience.
βœ“For Iceland, look for the Golden Circle and Jewels of the North shore excursions.
βœ“Use code TFT5 at checkout for a 5% discount on Shore Excursions Group bookings.
