Top 5 Alaska Experiences
Below find Samantha Brown’s top Alaska cruise experiences.
1. glacier calving
Few things match the excitement of waiting for ice calving in Glacier Bay National Park. If you’re lucky, ice will split off and thunder into the sea. Park Rangers on deck answer questions, point out wildlife and give the natural science behind the sights.
2. Dog Sledding
Before bush planes, Alaskans used sled dogs to deliver supplies. What started as a necessary travel means grew into a fierce competition, known as the Iditarod. Visiting a dog sled camp and being pulled along by a well-trained husky team is a top experience. Who can resist?
3. Totem pole park
Alaska has a rich cultural history. Wander through a lush forest to see totems made by the Tlingit, then stop into the Naa Kahídi Community House to watch dance performances and learn Tlingit words.
4. Salmon fishing & feast
Did you know some types of salmon can jump 8 feet? Catching these feisty fish is serious business! Reel in a big one on a chartered salmon fishing excursion, then taste it on board as part of Savor My Catch. Unforgettable.
5. Chilling On Board
The Great Land offers gorgeous, postcard-worthy views from dazzling glaciers to towering peaks. Watch the scenery roll past from a verandah, a deck or even a cozy cocktail lounge on board.
