Planning an Icy Strait Point Alaska cruise port day? See what you can do for FREE without booking an excursion, including Ocean Landing, Wilderness Landing, the trails, and the historic cannery. We spent the day exploring Icy Strait Point, Alaska on our own instead of booking a shore excursion. In this cruise port guide, we’ll show you the route we took, what you can see for free, and where optional spending may be worthwhile. We begin at Ocean Landing and make our way through Icy Strait Point, including the Wilderness Landing area, local trails, the cannery, historic machinery, shops, restaurants, and Gem Donuts. This is not a list of excursions we booked. It is a realistic look at what cruisers can do during an Icy Strait Point port day without paying for a ship-sponsored excursion. Some food, shopping, and attractions may cost extra, but you can explore much of the port independently.
