alaskan cruise tour

Does the land portion of the trip include lodging and meals? Does anyone have a recommnedation for one of the land/sea tours?

Lodging is included, but dining is not. You may be able to get a meal comped, but that is not the normal. The tours usually include one or two excursions, but you can buy others.

Thanks. That really makes the cost of that trip expensive. I was amazed at how much more a 10 day land/cruise is than just a 7 day cruise and having to add meals will boost it even more. Is it worth it?

To us, it is definitely worth it. The interior of Alaska is just as amazing as the coastline. It was like an alien world.

Alaska is a fantastic destination. We have done the cruise part only and would definitely consider doing it again along with a land portion too. Yes its costly but you can save some money by getting an inside cabin. Just a thought. Good luck. Larry :smile:

Larry, I like how you think. When we were looking at Alaska land/sea I about died a thousand times. Of course, I was thinking balcony all the way. When push comes to shove, we are all going to the same place. What really does it matter if cost is an issue?

Well, that is very interesting because I had been told that Alaska is the one cruise where having a balcony is a MUST!
