What makes an Alaska cruise truly incredible are the ports-of-call that offer beautiful sights and monumental scenery you won't be able to see anywhere else. If there is a star of the show, it has to be Juneau.
This capital city, located in the Alaska panhandle, is your gateway to some of the most popular natural landmarks in the state.

Travelers can also go on an excursion to the picturesque Mendenhall Glacier.
Another port-of-call with plenty of excursions to look forward to is Sitka, an island community surrounded by mountains and home to many of the state's majestic wildlife species, including whales, otters, and brown bears. The animal-themed excursions in Sitka include a Sea Otter & Wildlife Quest to discover Alaska's marine life and a tour of a raptor rehabilitation center.
Even more wildlife excursions await at Icy Strait Point, a privately-owned cruise ship stop created to facilitate tourism in the area. Here, travelers can go whale watching, search for bears, and kayak in the pristine coastal waters.
In Skagway, a historic gold rush town, visitors can travel the White Pass Scenic Railway. In Ketchikan, you can visit the Saxman Native Village and watch an exciting lumberjack competition. Outdoor enthusiasts and adventurers will also want to make sure their cruise includes a stop in Seward, a renowned destination for dog sledding, sea kayaking, biking, fishing, white-water rafting, and more.
Kodiak Island, with its famous Kodiak bears and spectacular scenery that has earned it the moniker Emerald Isle, also awaits those who are drawn by the beauty of Alaska's land and sea.
Every port-of-call in Alaska is brimming with even more things to do and see, and Norwegian Cruise Line is your access to these amazing destinations.
There is so much more of Alaska to discover beyond the magnificent coastline. This is why Norwegian Cruise Line also offers Alaska Cruisetours that let you experience the state by land and by sea.
