Hello,
My husband and I are taking our first trip to Alaska on a cruise with Princess. We have booked the following excursion and want to make sure that they are OK, or if anyone has any suggestions. We also would love any suggestions for places to visit while not doing an excursion. For example-a good place to purchase Salmon and have it shipped back home, or any cool shops to buy momentos for family and friends. We should have at least 2-3 hours at each port after we do our excusions. So any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!
Misty Fjords Wilderness Cruise & Flight -Ketchikan
Experience the grandeur of Misty Fjords National Monument by sea and air.
Board your floatplane for the flight to Misty Fjords. From the air, marvel at the magnitude of this 2.2 million-acre
national treasure. Land in a secluded cove and rendezvous with your cruise vessel. Glide past towering cliffs and
waterfalls plunging into the fjord’s placid waters. See New Eddystone Rock, a volcanic plug rising 237 feet from the water. Keep watch for seals and bald eagles, as well as the numerous sea birds dotting the waters or nesting in mossy niches on the cliffs.
The emerald waters reflect the lushness of a temperate rain forest. Your guide provides commentary on the wildlife, plants and geology of the area as your vessel returns to Ketchikan
Orca Point Lodge & Whale Watching-Juneau
Sail on a deluxe vessel to view southeast Alaska’s wide variety of wildlife and then enjoy a hearty meal at a secluded lodge.
Your experienced, local captain takes you through Stephens Passage to explore areas known for their abundance of humpback whales and other wildlife. An onboard naturalist discusses the wildlife you may encounter, including humpback and killer whales, Steller sea lions, Dall’s porpoises, harbor seals, bald eagles, Sitka blacktail deer and, occasionally, bears. A refund of $100 per adult and $50 per child will be given if a whale is not spotted on the trip! Stunning mountain peaks and glaciers provide photo opportunities throughout the cruise.
At Orca Point Lodge, the friendly crew greets you on arrival and serves a delicious meal of freshly grilled Alaska salmon and chicken along with rice pilaf, green salad, roll and dessert. The lodge features peaceful seclusion with modern comforts and delicious food in a wilderness setting. Wear comfortable walking shoes and a rainproof jacket and stroll along the beach before the return cruise to Juneau.
Alaska Sled Dog & Musher' Camp -Skagway
Experience a thrilling Alaska adventure as a team of powerful huskies pulls you through the great back country of an historic gold rush site! Glimpse a unique northern lifestyle and see the dogs in action when they take you on an exhilarating ride.
Relax and learn about gold rush history and present-day happenings on the drive to the northernmost point on Lynn Canal, the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park and our dog camp. Meet the dogs and climb onto a wheeled sled - custom made for running during the snow-free summer months. Your husky team whisks you along a wooded trail through southeast Alaska’s beautiful temperate rain forest. Spruce and hemlock trees, glacier-fed waterfalls and
views of the Taiya Inlet tidal flats surround you on this fun ride. Then, enjoy refreshments and cuddle the adorable husky puppies. Wander through the musher’s camp and learn about the equipment, hard work, strength and endurance that define dog sledding in the wild, rugged North.
Victoria Pub Tour
Victoria is known for its flowers and gardens, but there is a secret treasure few visitors have the time to experience - the pubs!
Downtown Victoria has a wide array of pubs and microbreweries. Relax in a traditional English-style pub and visit others with a uniquely Canadian atmosphere that’s not be found elsewhere. Visit three different taverns and sample the local brews - the finest Canada has to offer. Complimentary light appetizers are served at two of your stops.
