Creator's Key Takeaways
Anchorage truly brings together the best of Alaskan urban culture and rugged wilderness. Have an incredible time on your Alaska cruise.
If you're coming to Anchorage by cruise ship, a lot of times you'll actually dock in Whittier or Seward and you can take a bus or a car or something.
The only reason you're having to take a shuttle into the city and it's free is because this is an industrial port.
