Cruising Alaska on a Budget: A Cruise and Port Guide
Soaring mountains, ice-blue glaciers, and forested islands. Colorful history and culture. Majestic wildlife. This is Alaska, one of the most beautiful places you can cruise.
Happily, it's more affordable than you think.
Cruising can be one of the least expensive options in places like Alaska, where food, transportation, and accommodations on land are often pricey and where the popularity of cruising drives down cruise rates.
The problem is that cruising guidebooks don't target shoestringers. Budget guidebooks don't target cruisers. However, this cruise and port guide speaks directly to budget cruisers, a savvy group of travelers who like exploring the world from the water but who also like saving money for the next adventure.
If you've never been to Alaska by cruise ship, read Cruising Alaska on a Budget to see what this great land holds for you—and how to make it affordable. If you're returning to Alaska because you fell in love the first time, you'll find tips here on new things to see and do on a budget.
