took this cruise a few years ago -shipping line out of business now, but the scenery is breathtaking. Afterwards we rented a car in Anchorage, drove to Denali for a few days, whitewater rafted, toured the park, saw the mountain and then drove to Homer. Great time. Went in mid-June

We took the Sea Princess last July. Other than the long flight from Honolulu to Vancouver we had just a wonderful time. Couldn't have asked for better weather. The scenery was spectacular, the glaciers were awesome, and the stops were fun.

I took a cruise out of Vancouver via Princess cruise lines last year. Stayed 2 days in Vancouver, loved the cruising and the scenery. Rented a van in Seward & drove north, first to Exit Glacier, then Anchorage & then to Talkeetna for a great float plane ride to Mt McKinley, landing on the glacier. Greatest trip I have ever had!
