Alaskan Trip 2012: Land Tours

Land Tours

There are many land tours which are not connected with a specific cruise line. And, often the price is lower than what you might get if you book through the cruise line. However, the tours need to be compared as they do not all cover the same itinerary. Some individual land tours that sound interesting have been listed on this blog. But, there are many more.

Be sure to take a look at some of these tour groups and tour sites for ideas:

Shore Excursions Group

Alaska org - Juneau
Alaska org - Skagway
Alaskan Tours - Juneau
Alaskan Tours - Skagway
Day Tours in Victoria

What Else to Bring?

This list includes items you may not think about but might be helpful on a cruise. The list will grow as items are thought of.

1. Three-way plug - to charge phones, cameras, laptops, etc.
2. Night light - for bathroom so overhead lights don't need to be turned on in the middle of the night.
3. Seasick medication
4. Sunscreen - it is cool in Alaska, but there are many hours of sunlight.
5. Binoculars - to view the wildlife from the ship
6. Alarm clock, battery operated - it is nice to have a clock you are familiar with and if there are any power issues, you have a clock with the correct time.
7. Small Flashlight - when it gets dark in the room, it gets very dark.
8. Insect Repellant - those Alaskan mosquitoes are big and very hungry.
9. Small Journal - it is nice to write down places you have seen and interesting things encountered as well as to record places where photos have been taken.
10. Games - we are going to be At Sea for nearly 3 days, might be fun to play cards, Trivial Pursuit, Scrabble, etc.
11. Reading Material - a good book, a few magazines which can be tossed and/or crossword/puzzle books - nice to have for relaxing during Cruising Days.
