Creator's Key Takeaways

So, again, that number is just the beginning.

So again, the cruise itself is roughly going to start for a family of four at $3,300.

So, if you sum all that up, you're looking at spending over $12,000 to $14,000 for a 7 night Alaskan cruise for a family of four.

Did we regret spending any dollars here? Well, we probably had a couple excursions we would swapped out, but the main ones or the ones that we actually splurge on were 100% well worth the money.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Budget for the total cost including flights, excursions, and onboard extras, not just the cruise fare.
Consider the train from Seward to Anchorage for a scenic and enjoyable post-cruise journey.
Splurge on key excursions as they create unforgettable memories.
