Reasons Alaska is Popular Among Travelers
Most people have similar reasons for cruising in Alaska. They want to admire its rugged beauty, seek out wildlife (such as eagles, bears, and whales) and learn about its native cultures and Gold Rush history. Popular attractions include the Kenai Fjords, Spencer Glacier, Chinitna Bay, and the Talkeetna River. It’s so far from the rest of the mainland U.S. that it’s become a bucket list destination, especially for travelers wanting to visit each of the 50 states.

Many of the state’s famous glaciers are best viewed from the sea, so in order to see landlocked areas, such as Denali National Park, you can add on a rail journey onto the beginning or end of your sailing for a seamless land and sea vacation.
