Cruise to Alaska

Alaskan Cruises which are said to begin or end in Anchorage actually use either Seward or Whittier as their departure point, since Anchorage is located another day's journey around the Kenai Peninsula on the ocean.

Plan to spend a few extra days in Anchorage, so that you can travel inland to visit magnificent Denali National Park and Mount McKinley. The spectacular views - and wildlife - are unmatched anywhere in the country. Amazing animals and scenery can also be seen on the Kenai penninsula, where you can hike, drive, or take whale and seal watching trips off the coast.
