Alaska CruiseTours: Cruise + Land Tour = CruiseTour!


Cruisetours offer the best of both worlds, combining the seven-day Voyage of the Glaciers cruise with a three- to seven-night stay on land.  All you have to do is decide where in Alaska that you'd like to go.  With so many cruisetours available, we are sure to have an itinerary that's just right for you!


An Alaska Cruise Tour is a vacation package that combines an Alaska cruise vacation with an Alaska land tour. The land portion of your Alaska vacation can be taken before or after your cruise with travel by deluxe motor coach and the Alaska railroad with accommodations at top Alaska hotels & lodges.

There are so many reasons to travel to Alaska: Wilderness, Wildlife, glaciers, Mountains, History & Culture. A seven night Alaska Inside Passage Cruise will certainly give you a taste of Alaska and a chance to see glaciers and marine wildlife. However, an Alaska land tour into the interior region gives you an opportunity to experience the wilderness, mountains, and land wildlife aspects of Alaska.

Alaska Cruise Tours offer the best of worlds, a 7-day relaxing and luxurious cruise vacation along the Alaska coast with an adventurous land tour giving you the opportunity to explore the interior of Alaska including Denali National Park and Mt. McKinley.

Northbound & Southbound Alaska Cruise Tours

Alaska Cruise Tours can operate as northbound or southbound vacations. Most northbound cruise tours start with a 7-night northbound Alaska Glacier Cruise departing from Vancouver and ending in Whittier or Seward (the ports for Anchorage). Once you disembark, the land portion of your Alaska vacation begins.

Southbound Alaska cruise tours, on the other hand, begin with the land portion of your tour first. You’ll fly into Anchorage or Fairbanks, Alaska and see the sights of Alaska’s interior, then transfer via motor coach to Whittier or Seward where your southbound glacier cruise to Vancouver will begin. You may be asking yourself, which is a better choice northbound or southbound? Both Cruise Tour options have their advantages, and both offer you the glaciers, the wilderness and the wildlife you want to see. Look for the symbols NB and SB in our brochure that designate NB northbound and SB southbound departures.
