McKinley in Denali National Park stands some 20,000 feet aboe sea leave; Columbia Glacier descends 41 miles from the Chugach Mountains and is over four miles wide; Glacier Bay National Park & Preserve covers 3.3 million acres; Cruises through breathtakingly beautiful stretches of water such as Lynn Canal, the Inside Passage and the Misty Fjords now incorporate stops at Goldrush towns such as Skagway, as well as major cities like Juneau and Anchorage. Each cruise line offers something didfferent; this book explains the many options availabel and exactly how to choose the right cruise for you.
Good Investment
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Buying this book prior to my Alaska cruise proved to be well worth the investment. Per Ludmer's suggestion, we rented a car in Skagway and drove to Carcross, Yukon, Canada. What a wonderful outing away from the ship and for less then 25% the cost of us all taking the train. Get more tips from Ludmer by reading this book.

Concise, easy-to-read information fills every page of this bestseller. Unlike most cruise guidebooks, Cruising Alaska puts the emphasis on hard facts - not pretty pictures. Every detail is here, including stateroom size, passenger-crew ratio, dining options, current cruising routes, ship decor, onboard facilities and more. A candid analysis of the routes is given for every ship in Alaska this season, with details on the highlights, as well as what is missed. Maps, index.
