Royal Caribbean Cruises to Alaska

If you like the idea of taking a cruise, but the tropical scene just isn't your thing you should check out the Royal Caribbean Cruises to Alaska. These cruises offer the best of both worlds: the luxury and comfort of a cruise vacation and the adventure of the outdoors in a land tour. After the outrageous scenery and the sight of a cruise liner, you will never want to set foot in a theme park again.

Royal Caribbean Cruises to Alaska offer a choice to take the land tour before the cruise or after. The land tour offers just about everything you could imagine. A scenic train ride, hiking, helicopter trips over the ice fields, mountain-bike tours, and of course dogsled rides.

Juneau is the featured city on the Tour. Juneau is located on the southern panhandle of Alaska. Inter-coastal waterways, rainforests, mountains, and glaciers surround it. In 1880 the discovery of gold lead to the development of Juneau, and in 1900 it became the capital of Alaska. In addition to the beauty of the city a rich variety of wild life including whales, bears, and salmon are natural attractions.

You won't want to miss Hubbard Glacier. This glacier is very active and continues to grow at an amazing rate. Its size is almost incomprehensible as it stretches 76 miles to the sea, just north of Yakutat in Disenchantment Bay. It is the largest tidewater glacier in America.

Royal Caribbean Cruises has an excellent website. You will find information on what to pack and details of the Cruising experience. Some memories in life we have no control over, but Royal Caribbean Cruises to Alaska will allow you to create a fantastic memory to treasure.
