Alaska cruise vacations: The Top Ten Reasons to Go

I must admit, I love Alaska. I'm in love with the place on my first cruise in Alaska. The landscape is amazing, and the variety of activities and adventures is truly overwhelming.

E 'therefore a surprise to me that cruising in Alaska are becoming more popular every year. Cruising is the only way to get many of the most beautiful places in Alaska, seen from Glacier Bay National Park and Misty Fjords National Monument.

The following is a list of what I havethink are the ten most important reasons for a cruise in Alaska.

The 10th incredible shore excursions and tours in Alaska. If your ship is docked in Ketchikan and ports such as Juneau, Skagway, you can do a wide range of excursions, from whale watching to bear, is riding in a sea air some of the most beautiful fjords in the world.

9 cooler climate. I do not know about you, but if it's 98 degrees in my houseIn mid-August, the thought of the head in a place where 65th is incredibly attractive. The summer weather in Alaska is generally very comfortable with an average of 60-65 on the coast and maybe 75 in the country. It 's a perfect time for outdoor adventure.

8 whales. I saw everything from Beluga whales on Orca whales, and once I have not seen a whale. I have seen most of them from the shore, and surprisingly close. See these amazing animals in their naturalThe environment is just incredible.

The rainforest seventh. You may not know, but south of Alaska is home to the largest rainforest in North America. This is temperate rain forest (pine trees instead of palm trees), but no less lush and dense as the rain forest is located in the tropics, and no less beautiful. Due to rain, waterfalls, streams, rivers and lakes are literally everywhere. It 's all good, just like it never ends under his breath.

Sixth-bornCultures. You can see everything from the ceremony live totem carving, Native dancing. There are a surprisingly large variety of different indigenous cultures of the region (no, not just the "Eskimos") and these cultures have remarkably vibrant culture, history and traditions.

5 animals. Wild Life is incredibly rich. My first trip, I saw the bears (black and brown), Dall's sheep, a deer, fox, and a number of eagles - all free. Childrenespecially like to see wildlife. It 's a real treat.

4 waterfalls. So I mentioned waterfalls, but they are so incredibly rich in Alaska, I think they deserve their ranking. This is a particularly incredible number of waterfalls along the steep walls of the fjords of Glacier Bay, Misty Fjords National Monument. Ensures that keeps your cruise in one of these places, preferably Glacier Bay.

3 possibilities for adventure. Youhave an appetite for adventure, you will have available on a love cruise Alaska. Everything from dog sledding to ice climbing on a glacier in a wetsuit. And that's only during the days in port. Add to a pre-or post-cruise adventure home in Anchorage, and you can rock climbing, rafting, mountain biking - you name it, is available.

Second experience of the desert. It 's just something so fresh and exciting to beSurrounded by rugged wilderness. When you return from a vacation in Alaska, he just relaxed and renewed, and chances are, you will not have a sun burn them.

A glacier. Glaciers are the highlight of any cruise in Alaska. There is simply nowhere else that you see tidewater glaciers such as this, up close and in action. Looking at the pieces of ice the size of five-story building crashed into the sea water is something you will never forget. It 'really take yourBreath.
