Creator's Key Takeaways

I found a seven night cruise there for less than 500 bucks I couldn't say no

this Glacier Excursion gives you the opportunity to step on board a small fastboat tour and get up close and personal with this ice that you came to see

this is totally worth the Splurge

this one should be one of the top ones in your budget Alaska cruise

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Book the Glacier Explorer excursion early
โœ“Ride in the very back car on the White Pass Railway for an unobstructed view
โœ“Take the city bus in Juneau to Mendenhall Glacier for a few bucks
โœ“Time your Juneau excursions to maximize your day
โœ“Get off the ship in Victoria for a self-guided tour
