Creator's Key Takeaways

I've taken them both. I had a great time and I'm sure you will, too.

My very first Alaskan cruise and my first cruise in over 20 years was on the Norwegian Bliss out of Seattle.

I actually found flying into Anchorage and taking the train and building my own land option was a lot less expensive.

Regardless of the ship you take, definitely consider taking the excursion that goes right up to the wall of the glacier. You won't be disappointed.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Consider flying into Anchorage and taking the train for a one-way cruise to save money.
โœ“Book the Gold Star class on the Alaska Railroad for panoramic windows and a balcony.
โœ“Take the excursion that goes right up to the wall of the glacier.
โœ“If traveling solo with one bag, walking from the train station to the ship is scenic and feasible.

Cost of one-way cruise with flights and hotels โ€” Building your own land option by flying into Anchorage and taking the train can be less expensive than cruise line tours.
Getting to the cruise port from the airport โ€” For Seattle departures, take a taxi or Uber; for Anchorage, consider the train and walking if traveling light.
