I wasn’t sold on cruising until Alaska. Then I went back a second time and I’m already figuring out how to make a third trip happen. The sheer scale of it all glaciers, bears, endless waterfalls, whales breaching out of nowhere it’s just a different world. And honestly, even if you're not the cruise type, this route feels like the exception. Holland America brought the chill vibes and solid food, but Princess had that fun, younger energy and better entertainment.
If you’ve done Alaska by cruise and by land, I’d love to hear how they compare. Is a week on land worth trading for balcony glacier views?
