TRIP EXTENSIONS: Many folks find it economical as well
as highly interesting to add additional excursions to
the beginning or end of their cruise. Be sure to discuss
such options with the cruise company or your travel
agent. It’s also wise to fly in or drive in at least a
day prior to boarding your ship. This takes away the
stress of traffic or flight problems and gives you time
to relax. Some hotels can arrange parking and provide
transport to the cruise terminal.

SHORESIDE EXCURSIONS: Part of the excitement of visiting
Alaska includes the opportunity for once-in-a-lifetime
adventures—whale watching, kayaking, dog sledding,
glacier flyovers, exploring Alaskan history or
witnessing Native cultural activities. In addition to
providing quality entertainment and information on
board, cruise lines offer a wide range and ability level
of additional shore excursion packages. Often the cruise
director or expedition leader will present a description
of the various excursion extras a few days prior to
arrival in port. This is an excellent time for you to
ask any questions you might have about these exciting
options.
Such extras are generally not included in the passage
price so shore side excursions are either pre-booked or
arranged on board. Note that many of these activities
fill up fast, so if you’re interested be sure to sign up
right away to avoid disappointment. Remember, too, that
weather conditions heavily impact the availability of
these excursions—that’s just part of life on the
Northwest Coast.
