If you’ve been considering an Alaskan cruise there’s no better time than now. Prices are low and the ships themselves keep getting better and better – here are a few more reasons (as if you need them!) why you should sign up now for the Alaskan cruise of a lifetime
The Amenities – Aside from the fact that the quarters are generally pretty tiny, the amenities onboard a large cruise ship are unparalleled. You’ve got High Speed Satellite Internet, unlimited meals and things like pools and gyms. It’s the way to travel.
The Ports – Alaska is a huge state and with so many places to see you’re likely to spend a lot of your time driving if you choose to go it alone. A cruise ship is a great way to get from one part of the state to another fairly quickly and the port cities are some of the best in Alaska.
The Cost – Aside from airfare, staying in Alaska can get expensive. Car rentals are pricey (you’ll have to rent a 4-wheel drive and get lots of insurance) and gas isn’t any cheaper up here. Hotels fill up quickly, too, so taking a cruise can actually be economical.
