If you would like to tour Alaska, don't book a cruisetour. You are stuck with a large group, on and off busses, on and off the train, and all crammed into one hotel, which may or may not be to your liking. Cruisetours are also overpriced, unless you happen upon a sale.

We go to Alaska every year for 2-3 weeks, usually the last of August. We have been all over the state, so if you would like information, just email.

We took an Alaska cruise in 2002. Booked with Princess, had a horrible time, but that is a story for another time. Stick with Celebrity or Holland America. HA has been running some tremendous Alaska sales right now. We have done 7 Celebrity cruises and have never had a bad time.
