Cruising Alaska: A Guide to the Ports of Call

Few places in the world are as visually stunning as Alaska. And few people would argue that a cruise is the very best way to see the Land of the Midnight Sun. In this book, veteran cruiser Larry Ludmer walks you through every step of your Alaska cruise. He profiles all cruise lines, from big to small, and offers a detailed profile of each and every vessel sailing to Alaska this season, including stateroom size, service, atmosphere, passenger/crew ratio, dining options and more. He reviews their itineraries and candidly tells you the disappointments - or highlights - of each. Every gateway city is covered, with complete details on how to reach the cruise port by car, plane, public transportation, or as part of a cruise line tour. City attractions are pointed out for those who have a few hours or even a day to spare. In addition, you'll find detailed pre- or post-cruise sight-seeing suggestions that can last anywhere from a day to a week. These include tours on the Alaska Railroad and excursions into Denali.Ludmer, Larry is the author of 'Cruising Alaska: A Guide to the Ports of Call' with ISBN 9781588435101 and ISBN 1588435105.
