Creator's Key Takeaways

We know as we all know that going to Alaska can be expensive. Yes, it can. So, we're going to just talk about nine things that we have found that can can help trim that cost a little bit.

If you're flexible with your room type and you while you're checking and clicking and and checking those things, if you are open to an inside or window room or a partial view window, it can save you a lot.

If you really want to do that one magical excursion, you can always just prioritize that one thing, spend most of the days in the cities and doing those things that maybe we've suggested.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Use local bus transportation instead of expensive excursions.
βœ“Book local excursions directly with companies rather than through the cruise line to save money.
βœ“Eat at food trucks or local stands to avoid pricey tourist restaurants.
βœ“Be flexible with travel dates and itineraries to find lower prices.
βœ“Consider interior or window rooms instead of balconies to save on accommodation costs.
βœ“Explore walkable ports and hiking trails to avoid paid tours.
