With a sparse amount of residents populating this huge U.S. state, cruising is the most hassle-free and tranquil way of viewing the sites of Alaska. Here are some of the things that you could view in just a few days as you experience an Alaskan cruise.

Mendenhall Glacier

Jump off board for just a short 3km hike to see the glorious glacier and some waterfalls of Alaska. With spectacular views surrounding it, you won’t be able to hold back from capturing the moment. You don’t even have to leave the comfort of the cruise ship to enjoy the view. See the huge body of dense ice cushioned between mountains from the balcony of the ship. In some cases there may even be a chance to witness the ice calving.

Canadian Rockies

This mountain range with ice kissed peaks, spanning across the provinces of British Colombia and Alberta, provides plenty  of scenery to take in. With many Alaskan cruises starting off in Vancouver, it’s an added bonus to be able to behold the wonders of Canada as well as the American state. There are many outdoor recreation sites situated around the Rockies providing plenty of information on the mountain and offering a multitude of activities for you to participate in: from mountain biking to fly fishing.

Wildlife

See orchards diving victorious along the Alaskan coast and otters lounging on the surface of the seas. Bald eagles flying freely among tall trees and above the rivers, or feasting on fish. Brown, black or polar bears choose your pick, there’s a chance that anyone of these can be spotted lumbering along the Alaskan and Canadian shorelines. Dall sheep and mountain goat inhabit and trail the alpine meadows. There’s a series of wildlife to survey and be wowed by as they enjoy life in their natural habitat.

Cruise Ship

It’s not only the outdoors that you’ll be able to marvel at, but the beautiful decor of the cruise ships themselves will leave you astounded. No sight for sore eyes when it comes to an Alaskan cruise ship, there’s plenty on board to help you enjoy a luxurious time taking in all the sites of Alaska in comfort and class.
