That is true that pretty much all of the cruise lines go to Alaska, but some cruise lines have more ships then others. We sailed the first week of July 2012, and at that time I put a list of what ships are going to be there with us. Supposedly there were 27 ships, carrying up to 44140 passengers.

Cruise West is out of business.

As you can see -- Princess and Holland America have the most ships in Alaska. Both cruise lines have a long history for Alaskan cruises and cruise tours.

We love Glacier Bay and Hubbard Glacier. Tracy Arm is a hit and miss -- many times we did not get up close to the glacier.

We have seen more calving in Hubbard Glacier than we have seen in Glacier Bay.
