Cruise Alaska and Enjoy Several Ports


If you want to take a cruise tour but blue sandy beaches and blazing hot sun are not for you, consider cruising in Alaska. The Princess Cruises company guide you by boat to stunning glaciers, breath-taking displays of wildlife in their natural habitat, and quaint Alaskan towns. Many Alaskan travelers believe that a cruise tour is the best way to see as much of Alaska as possible during a trip. Tours vary in time, but most last from four to nine days. Some allow overnights at the Denali National Park, and others give you numerous opportunities to hit various cities around the state. There are numerous ports of call for the Princess Cruises and Haine's, Alaska is a favorite or cruise passengers. Haines is located at the base of the Chilkat Peninsula. This small town is picturesque and visitors can visit the American Eagle Foundation or the Chilkate Bald Eagle Preserve while in port. Learn about the eagle and how it survives in its natural habitat, and if you visit during spawning season in the fall, you will have a chance to see more than 4,000 eagles feeding on the fish. Fort William H. Seward is another favorite destination of cruisers when in port in Haines.
