I've never been....I would love to go though. I've been watching Alaska Week on Discovery and it looks pretty nice! 2  out of 2 found this valuable. Do you?

I cruised to Alaska last June. Can's say enough about the beauty of Alaska, but I would not cruise again. We went to Juneau, Sitka and Ketchican. I loved Sitka the best! This thread would be a mile long if I told you all about it, but cruising is the easiest and probably the cheapest way to go, depending on where you live. After you cruise, you can get the feel for where you want to go back. We're planning on shipping our car across country and then driving up the Yukon and through Alaska. Also, going to do the train in Alaska, hopefully next year. Since I'm from FL, I have to plan these things about a year ahead of time. Get some travel brochures from the official Alaska sites and then you'll get some ideas. Good luck and just ask me if you have specific questions! 2  out of 2 found this valuable. Do you?

"How much fun did ya have?"
I have to say it has been a few years but it was a cruise I will never forget! Yes it ws fun, but beyond that it was mind blowing and life changing for me. We also cruised Juneau and Sitka, but we also went through Skagway to get to the Yukon. Alaska is a land of raw wilderness and spirit. Cruising is an incredible way to experience the soul of Alaska, I promise you one day I will be a resident of Alaska! If you have the chance to go......GO!

I'm with you - I would move to Alaska in a heartbeat! Hubby wouldn't permit it though. I just may get as far as Washington state though and then I would be able to frequent Alaska as much as possible! Best of both worlds I'm hoping!

I will be going on a cruise this August and one of my shore excursions will be aboard the Aleutian Ballad. They converted the ship to accommodate tourists and now offer excursions. AWESOME! Hopefully Corky will be aboard! 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

"Once you've visited Alaska - not all of you ever returns home. They say part of you stays here in spirit, enjoying the sights and nature. It's true!!"
Cruising is fun but you miss alot. My suggestion is rent a motorhome for a week and do you own tour. You already have your hotel room with you and you can see so much more and no restrictions. You can visit more places and have alot more fun. Wanna know more - contact me at moosenose3, I've lived in Alaska for 40 years, know where to go what to see and do and have fun here every summer!

When I was in the Navy I pulled into Kethikan one time. I would love to go back. I also pulled into Adak while I was in the reserves and flew back to the lower 48 from there. When I compare the two its like the diffrence between night and day, Adak sucked. Do you find this valuable?
