How to cruise in Alaska

Check out this how-to video on wonderhowto.com to enjoy a cruise to Alaska. One of the most popular, and affordable, activities that visitors in Alaska love to do is to take a Glacier and Wildlife Cruise. And you can hit Alaska's waters in hour long, half day, or even week long trips that will give you up close and personal views of Alaska's breathtaking natural beauty. The most popular cruises go through the gorgeous Prince William Sound, where visitors can get an eyeful of icy glacial towers crashing into the ocean and thrill to the otherworldly songs of passing whales. Head out to the port of Whittier, just an hour and a half south of Anchorage to get out to the famous Sound, and sign up for tours by The Philips 26 Glacier Cruise, Prince William Sound Glacier Cruises, and Major Marine Tours for experiences that will not disappoint. Another area worth exploring by sea is the Kenai Fjords National Park, where you'll launch out of the port town of Seward, 2 and a half hours South of Anchorage.
