For travelers planning to visit Alaska by cruise ship, this brand-new, beautifully illustrated guidebook by Alaska and Northwest expert Bob Devine covers ports of call large and small all along the Inside Passage and Alaska's ragged southern coastlines. The ports included are Seattle, Vancouver, Ketchikan, Wrangell, Petersburg, Sitka, Juneau, Icy Strait Point, Glacier Bay National Park & Preserve, Haines, Skagway, Cordova, Valdez & Whittier, Seward, Kenai Fjords National Park, Homer & Kachemak Bay, Anchorage, Denali National Park & Preserve, Kodiak Island, and Alaska Peninsula & Aleutians. You'll find vital information to make the most of stops at each port city, including how to get to the sights from the port; what to see in a short amount of time ashore; and how to avoid pricey excursions.
In this beautifully illustrated guidebook, find all the information you need to enjoy the most authentic experiences in the ports of call along the Gulf of Alaska and the coast beyond, as well as in Seattle and Vancouver.
The 49th American state has become an increasingly popular destination, and National Geographic Traveler: Coastal Alaska is your pass to a truly unique and different land. Alaska has more mountains, glaciers, and wildlife than almost any other place in the world, and seems as if it was created just for cruises: Its 6,600 miles (10,622 km) of coastline offer an infinite amount of natural beauty to passengers aboard a ship, particularly along the southern coasts of the panhandle where the legendary Inside Passage lies. A cruise is also the best way to reach the most regions on land, the islands, the continental coast of Ketchikan, and as far away as Skagway.
If you're lucky enough to visit Alaska by ship, this guide offers you one-of-a-kind experiences at every port of call, as well as in Seattle and Vancouver, the main ports of departure and essential stopovers in every cruise in northern waters.
