Creator's Key Takeaways
Most people pick the wrong cruise line for Alaska and don't realize it until it's too late.
In Alaska, it's not about the ship. It's about where that ship can actually go.
The best overall choice in my opinion is Princess Cruises.
Holland America has been sailing in Alaska for over 70 years and I give them the best of the Alaska expertise.
