Why we think you should extend your stay in Alaska

That is a question most guests ask themselves when booking a cruise to Alaska. The answer is yes.

Alaska may seem an unlikely cruise destination to the uninitiated. After all, how could the largest state in the USA, by land area, be one of the quintessential cruise experiences? The answer is simple. The size and geography of the state create one of the largest varieties of activities for adventure travelers in the world. 

The 7-night cruise through southeastern Alaska and the Inside passage simply is not enough to experience everything that Alaska has to offer. Is it lacking? Absolutely not, but once you have tasted the variety of experiences on your 7-day cruise, your imagination will immediately turn to what else Alaska has to offer. That is where the cruisetour comes in. 

Most brands at every level of cruising offer cruisetours that include a visit to Denali National Park, a Glass-domed railcar, with accommodations and meals.  When it comes to Alaska, remember smaller ships mean smaller groups on land. Also the smaller and more nimble the vessel, the closer to the action.  So the Luxury Lines will offer the most exclusive experiences.

The cruisetours are available for 2 to 12 additional nights with some brands, so there are options for foodies, historians, outdoorsmen, and romantics. But– more importantly, there are options for every budget. Denali National Park is the highlight of the cruisetour experience. Imagine a park so expansive that, if you were to encounter a moose, you are likely the only human that moose has ever seen.  

The variety of cruisetour options can be a little overwhelming. Ask your travel advisor for their advice. This is the real benefit of using an agency. Yes, we can get you a better deal, but that pales in comparison to the wealth of travel knowledge Luxury Cruise Connections Agents can offer.
