Alaska Cruise Shore Excursions — Where Your Cruise Becomes an Adventure

Alaska isn’t just a cruise destination. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime adventure packed with heart-pounding wildlife encounters, ancient glaciers, rugged wilderness, and unforgettable cultural experiences. The best way to see the true Alaska is to step off the ship and explore its wild spirit up close. Alaska cruise shore excursions put you in the middle of the action. They turn incredible scenery into unforgettable memories. And once you’ve tasted adventure in Alaska, you’ll want more. We partner with Shore Excursions Group to offer a diverse array of experiences that cater to different interests and passions. 

Why Alaska Shore Excursions Are a Must-Do

Every cruise port unlocks something different. One day you’re watching humpback whales breach near Juneau. The next you’re riding the famous White Pass and Yukon Railroad into the mountains of Skagway. Then you’re cruising Misty Fjords in Ketchikan or walking among Sitka’s totem history.

Excursions let you:

  • See Alaska’s glaciers from land, sea, or helicopter
  • Get close to wildlife like whales, bears, seals, and eagles
  • Experience Alaska Native culture and rich gold-rush history
  • Turn your cruise into a personal adventure, not just a vacation
