Creator's Key Takeaways

So, no matter which cruise line you take, I've taken them both. I had a great time and I'm sure you will, too.

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.

The Coastal Classic is a beautiful train with these huge panoramic windows. If you get the Gold Star class and sit at the front of the train...

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓If taking the train to Seward, get the Gold Star class for the panoramic windows and outdoor balcony.

✓Use a lanyard for your phone when taking photos on the train to avoid dropping it.

✓If traveling to Whittier, be prepared to walk or take a shuttle as hotels are sparse.

✓Consider building your own land option by flying into Anchorage to potentially save money compared to cruise-offered tours.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Transportation from Seattle airport to pier — I'd highly recommend a taxi or an Uber. The taxi or Uber will take you about 11 minutes.

Cost of one-way cruises — You'll definitely pay less if you take the round trip from Seattle. If you choose the one-way option... you're going to have to pay for that flight, pay for the train fare, and also... hotels can be very expensive.
