Things to do at Ports of Call

[Divvi]

Hi everyone,

 

We are traveling to Alaska in July and would appreciate if you could share recommendations on things to do at each of the Ports of call. We have 4 adults and 3 kids in our group (ages 5-10) and are looking for a mix of activities to do, places of interest etc. 

 

We are taking the Royal Caribbean 7 nights cruise and following are the ports of call:

 

1. JUNEAU, ALASKA  - Day 1
2. ICY STRAIT POINT, ALASKA  - Day 2 
3. SITKA, ALASKA  - Day 3
4. SKAGWAY, ALASKA  - Day 4
5. SEWARD, ALASKA  -  Day 5 

 

Thanks in advance,

Divvi
 

1. JUNEAU, ALASKA 
2. ICY STRAIT POINT, ALASKA 
3. SITKA, ALASKA 
4. SKAGWAY, ALASKA 
5. SEWARD, ALASKA

Welcome to CC.

I would suggest you join your roll call, I can’t add link as you didn’t mention which ship/date.

Sorry what does a roll call mean? We are going by Royal Caribbean cruise from Vancouver.

Icy Strait Point is a great spot for a whale watching cruise. Glacier Winds is who I'd recommend.

 

After you disembark in Seward, how much time do you have before your flight out of Anchorage?

It is where people on your actual cruise meet up online to discuss their plans.

If you post the date and name of your ship I will add the link.

@AKStafford We do not have much time in Seward unfortunately. We are heading straight to the airport.

@cruiseaholic78 That is great to know, we are on Royal caribbean 7 nights cruise starting from Vancouver on July 12th.

Welcome to Cruise Critic!

 

Without knowing your interests it is hard to make specific recommendations.  Browse through this forum and you will find a number of ideas.  Also use goggle to find the respective visitors bureaus of your ports of call.

If you are already booked, then you should be able to go onto your reservation and see what shore tours are available, and which ones match your interests and budget. Keep in mind some of these can run upwards of $250-$500 a person and can sell out fast. 
 

What you can also do is use Google. In the search box enter something like "Top 10 things to do in Skagway". Some cities like Skagway, Juneau, and even Icy Strait will have at least a dozen or two different excursions. 
 

I've cruised Alaska 5x, and am booked next year on a back-to-back (two cruises one after another). My interests are most definitely going to be different than yours. Some of the shore excursions that I have already booked are ones that others wouldn't at all be interested in.
