Alaska Cruise Excursions (Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay & Ketchikan)

Published 2023-07-09
I took my very first Alaska cruise and discovered the beauty of the Last Frontier! With stops in Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay, and Ketchikan, I show you all of the sights to behold in Alaska. My cruise ship took me to each of these Alaska ports and I had a great time on Alaska cruise excursions in each of the towns.

I was sailing onboard Norwegian Cruise Line and the Norwegian Encore in Alaska. However, Princess Cruise Line, Carnival Cruise Line, Celebrity Cruises, Royal Caribbean, Holland America, and more all make annual Alaskan cruises. It is a great way to see Alaska, as you wake up each day in a different Alaska port of call. I really enjoyed my cruise to Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay National Park, and Ketchikan, some of the jewels of Alaska!

    Just got back from my first Alaska cruise. We went snorkeling in Ketchikan which was a huge highlight!!! In hoona, walk to the town and get a crabby Bloody Mary. We took an amazing glass covered train back to anchorage. Amazing trip. Can’t wait to go back

    Thank you so much Zach for your wonderful, well thought out video. It was so relaxing to watch and has heightened my enthusiasm for our same trip in September. I’ve only recently found your videos and really appreciate your honest reviews whilst staying positive and kind. Your mannerisms are just gorgeous and create a positive experience even when things aren’t up to scratch.
  • Was there last May,can't wait to go back this year,looking forward to Mendenhall glacier this time, so excited to show my son this beautiful part of the world,travelling from Australia
  • @mikegarrett1945
    Thanks for the very informative video. It was very helpful that you mentioned where the different cruise lines docked. We are going on NCL next spring. It’s good to know about all the bus transfers needed with NCL. I didn’t know about Ward Cove and the 20 minute ride into town. Thanks!

    Fantastic vlog, you gave a great insight into the excursions that can be done.Thanks

    Loved this video, Zach! One of my favourite ever ports is Skagway, so this was so lovely to see - you've successfully brought back some awesome memories!
  • @SeeYaAtSea
    FABULOUS VIDEO! We did the same route and just got home on 4 JULY. Loved it. Thanks for sharing your world class recording! Just beautiful!!!!
  • @Cruisingfoodies
    We sailed by the Encore while we were on the Bliss a few weeks ago. Both great ships! I love that you got to Glacier Bay, it's so pretty there, we did it on a previous Alaska cruise!
  • @johnbuckley8324
    Great video Zach. I'm heading to Alaska on Princess next May. Appreciate the beautiful preview. 👍
  • @andoru
    I have always thought of a cruise vacation as something paired with a tropical climate, beaches and summer activities. But your visit is making me reconsider Alaska! Aspirational vacation for me as I’m in Australia! I love how you make every viewer feel like they are your newest best buddy and you can’t wait to tell us about how much you enjoy the places you visit.

    Alaska is so breathtaking! The Glaciers are beautiful! Great video Zach, take care...
  • Just came home from a Alaskan cruise Monday it was amazing Alaska I miss u🚢💛😍🥺
  • @jdb316
    We both did Alaska cruises at the same time, albeit on different ships and one day apart. Such an amazing place. It’s too bad NCL docks so far out of town in Juneau and Ketchikan.
  • @davva360
    Last time I was there was 8 years ago already. Saw a couple of bears right next to the road in the middle of town. Was a very beautiful place and will go again hopefully.

    Hopefully one day I'll be able to take my first Alaskan cruise...been to Alaska through the pass from the Yukon, but would like to see the glaciers from a ship. An amazing experience and look forward to seeing more. Bruce and Otis
  • @jasonmiller6371
    We are going on our first cruise in June 2024 to the same ports, sailing on RC. Thanks for the great video showing us what we have to look forward to!
  • @jennib11
    I've been on the fence about going to Alaska next year but you sold me with this beautiful video!!!
  • @LubaSlava1
    If you were impressed with Glacier Bay, you definitely need to visit Hubbard Glacier. We visited in on Celebrity Millennium on our first ever cruise and I gotta tell you… my jaw dropped when I opened my window in the morning and all I saw was a wall of blue ice! Absolutely breathtaking!
