Set Sail to Alaska with Disney Cruise Line

 
Picture
When one thinks of taking a cruise you usually have dreams of the islands and beaches of the Caribbean. But did you know one of the most popular cruise itineraries out there is actually Alaska in the summer? These amazing sailings expose you to the natural beauty of "The Last Frontier" on both land and sea. And for families there is no better option than taking a Disney Cruise Line Alaskan sailing from Vancouver, Canada.
Sailing on the Disney Wonder, the Alaskan cruises feature stops in Tracy Arm, Skagway, Ketchikan, amd Juneau. With rugged arctic beauty and outdoor adventure in spades, Alaska is a destination brimming with family appeal. Kids will get a kick out of Port Adventures like gold panning and dog sledding while adults will be awed by its spectacular fjords, waterfalls and glaciers. A frontier spirit, fascinating Native American culture and wildlife sightings including bears, elk and humpback whales promise a truly unforgettable vacation for all.

Tracy Arm Fjord

Tracy Arm is always an interesting "port of call" as you do not actually get off the ship. Instead, the Captain of the Disney Wonder will take you on an amazing tour of this natural wonder that includes towering waterfalls, mammoth glaciers, rugged mountaintops, and amazing wildlife.

Tracy Arm Fjord is an approximate 30-mile-long fjord—a narrow inlet created by glacial activity—that weaves its way past 7,000-foot-high snow-capped mountains and floating icebergs. Formed thousands of years ago, this calm waterway boasts towering granite walls that jut up from the fjord majestically, framed against a sweeping forest terrain.

​During this amazing experience you will want to be on the top deck, or hanging out on your verandah, grabbing pictures of this one-of-a-kind beauty.

Skagway

Did you know that Skagway is the inspiration for Jack London's famous Call of the Wild? This amazing destination offers up a great mixture of local Alskan culture and history. You will have the opportunity to not only explore the town itself, but the amazing natural landscape of the region.

Some of the top Port Adventures in Skagway include:
  • Liarsville Gold Rush Trail Camp and Salmon Bake Featuring Exclusive Disney Character Experience 
  • Sunset Horseback Adventure
  • Scenic Tour by steam Train
  • Dog Sledding and Glacier Viewing by Helicopter

Ketchikan

Ketchikan is actually considered the "Salmon Capital of the World because of its amazing salmon runs. This is a town that has the local native culture woven into the fabric of the local life. Major attractions throughout the area celebrate the various tribes that once called the area home.

Some of the top Port Adventures in Ketchikan include:
  • Bering Sea Crab Fishermen's Tour and Dinner with the Crew 
  • Annette Island Cultural Celebration with Exclusive Family Activity 
  • Rainforest Wildlife Sanctuary, Raptor Center and Totems 
  • Back Country Jeep and Canoe Adventure 

Picture
Juneau

Originally a fishing outpost for local Tlingit Native Americans, Juneau was founded in 1880 after 2 prospectors—Richard Harris and Joseph Juneau—discovered gold in the region, thanks to help by Chief Kowee of the Auk Tlingit Tribe. Today Juneau is the state capital with a local culture that infuses American, Russian, and Tlingit culture.

​Some of the top Port Adventures in Juneau include:
  • Enchanted Taku Glacier Lodge Flight & 5-Glacier Seaplane Discovery 
  • Disney Exclusive Glacier Dog Musher for a Day 
  • Alaska Whales & Rainforest Trails ​
  • Historic Gold Panning Adventure and Gold Creek Salmon Bake 

An Amazing Value

As I have always said Disney Cruise Line is an amazing vacation value and the unique experiences available on Alaska sailings take it up a notch. Let the team of Disney Cruise Line experts at Whitney World Travel help you plan one of these amazing cruises!
