Creator's Key Takeaways

They have Glacier Bay access, some of the best dock locations in Alaska, huge observation lounges for scenic cruising, and covered pools so you can still go for a swim even if it's cold and rainy outside.

Hubbard Glacier gives you that dramatic wow moment when you finally see how massive Alaska glaciers really are, and Glacier Bay gives you an entire day where the scenery never really stops.

Most people would probably enjoy the trip more by choosing one or two truly unforgettable experiences instead of trying to spend thousands of dollars doing everything.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Build an itinerary that includes the best Alaska has to offer from a cruise ship in under 10 days.
Start with a few days around Anchorage before stepping onto the ship.
Consider a one-way cruise from Anchorage to Vancouver to see more Alaska from the ship.
Book through Cruises It to save money and get better cabins.
Choose one or two truly unforgettable experiences instead of trying to do everything.
