You probably know you have a choice of Alaska cruises or cruisetour itineraries: northbound or southbound.

But did you know that the northbound versions of the itineraries are typically priced between $150-$500 less than the southbound version?

That's money you can use for shore excursions or to upgrade from an inside all the way up to a premium outside stateroom—or from a mid-outside stateroom to a verandah/balcony suite!

The money saved by taking a northbound cruisetour can be used for once-in-a-lifetime shore excursions—such as the Juneau Taku Glacier Lodge, Feast & Flight by Floatplane, or Four Glacier & Dog Sled Helicopter Adventure.

You can also use these savings to extend your cruisetour with Fairbanks or Anchorage post-packages, such as the Brooks Range Expedition out of Fairbanks or the Alyeska Resort with a Kenai Fjords cruise out of Anchorage.

Many of our guests also like having the cruise portion first because it gives them time to relax and rejuvenate before the more adventurous land portion of their vacation, allowing them to fully appreciate all that they'll experience in Alaska
