Icy Strait vs. Ketchikan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4Mt27F_j1E&t=2s We wanted to start a bit of a video series on the various Alaska excursions that are available, the excursions we did and what we thought about them on our trip. Today we're going to start off with our first stop on our Alaska cruise, Icy Strait Point. We did our Alaska cruise with Princess Cruise Lines and we were aboard the Island Princess. We had never been to Alaska before but we knew we wanted to do some Whale Watching and that's one of the main things we did in Icy Strait Point. We did the Bear Watching and While Watching excursion and we really enjoyed it. If you want to know more about Icy Strait point we have a video about that also. Overall we really enjoyed Icy Strait Point and highly recommend it to anyone who's doing an Alaska cruise. With a great combination of easy to access food and excursion options right when you step off the ship you should have no problem finding something you want to do!
