Things to See and Do on an Alaska Cruise

Alaska is full of spectacular scenery and amazing animal life. It is also a wonderful cruise destination with three basic Alaska itineraries provided by cruise ships. Alaska is also one of the most photogenic places you can visit. The 49th state of the United States has magnificent mountains, gorgeous sea and lake views, waterfalls, glaciers, and diverse wildlife. Everyone who visits Alaska can find memorable, unusual things to do and see . These photos provide a look at some of the towns, glaciers, and other places you can see or experience when visiting Alaska on either a large or mid-sized cruise ship or a  small expedition cruise ship .

Juneau - State Capital of Alaska

Juneau is a popular port of call on many cruises of the Inside Passage of Alaska. This city is the only state capital in the USA that is accessible only by water or air; it can't be reached in a car! Juneau has many fun activities including hiking or kayaking near the Mendenhall Glacier, a tram/cable car, ziplining, and even a brewery.

Ketchikan - One of the Rainiest Cities in the USA

Don't let Ketchikan's nickname scare you! Although the historic city gets over 162 inches of rain each year, it's a fun place to visit on an Alaska cruise. Ketchikan has terrific fishing opportunities, along with hiking, ziplining, kayaking, or exploring the downtown historic area.

Skagway, Alaska - Goldrush Town of the Late 1800s

Many miners seeking their fortune in gold flocked to Skagway in the late 1800's, and the town grew to over 20,000 residents. Today the population is much less, but 14 buildings are on the National Historic Register, and it's great fun to walk around Skagway and picture the way it was during the gold rush days.  Many cruise travelers take a ride on the scenic White Pass & Yukon Railway, which follows the trail the gold-seekers took into the mountains. 

Anchorage- Alaska's Largest (and only ) City

Many people choose to visit the interior of Alaska before or after their Alaska cruise . These cruise extensions often fly into or out of Anchorage, which is Alaska's largest city with about 300,000 residents. Over 40 percent of those who live in Alaska reside in Anchorage, and the city has many places to stay, eat, and explore. 

Sitka - Alaska's First Capital

Sitka is a small historic town on the outside edge of Alaska's Inside Passage. It is celebrated as the site of Alaska's discovery in 1741 and still has buildings that reflect the time it was Russian. After the USA purchased Alaska from Russia, Sitka was the first capital.

Petersburg, Alaska - Gateway to Frederick Sound

 Petersburg, Alaska was founded by a Norwegian homesteader, and the small town still has many residents with a Norwegian heritage. However, Petersburg is a big fish canning town, so workers from many foreign countries pack the small town in the summer. It's a fun place to explore, hike, or do whale watching in nearby Frederick Sound.

Metlakatla - Native American Community

The Metlakatla Indian Community is the only Native American reservation in Alaska. The Tsimshian Indians who prefer reservation life reside in the community. Metlakatla is a good place to visit to buy superb handicrafts, learn about life on a reservation, and learn about the Tsimshian Indian culture and dances.

Alaska Helicopter Ride to a Glacier

If the weather cooperates, Alaska is a great place to ride on a helicopter. The scenery is magnificent, and the views of mountains and glaciers are breathtaking. I did a helicopter ride from Juneau to visit a summer camp for sled dogs training for the famous Iditarod race.

Alaska Dog Sledding on a Glacier

One of the best (and most expensive) shore excursions I've ever done anywhere was a helicopter ride from the airport in Juneau up to a sled dog summer training camp on the Mendenhall icefields. Dogs training for the Iditarod or other races can practice all summer on the icy snow, and visitors are welcome to see the dogs, learn about their training and take a ride on a sled. Of course, the helicopter ride up to the training camp is exhilarating and provides spectacular views.  

Humpback Whales in Alaska

Almost everyone who visits Alaska sees whales, especially if they are on a small ship or do a whale-watching expedition from a large cruise ship. I've been lucky and have seen dozens of whales and have seen them breach, show their fluke, and even bubble feed, as is shown in this photo.

Glacier Bay National Park

Like most of the national parks in the United States, Glacier Bay National Park is a memorable place to visit. However, it can best be visited by ship, so a cruise ship is a perfect way to see some of the park's highlights like glaciers, mountains, and wildlife. 

Hubbard Glacier in Alaska

 Hubbard Glacier is Alaska's largest tidewater glacier and one of over 100,000 glaciers in the 49th state of the USA. Ships sailing between Seward and Vancouver, Victoria, or Seattle often spend part of a day near this spectacular glacier.

Cruise the Misty Fjords in Alaska

The Misty Fjords are near Ketchikan and are only accessible via boat or small plane. In the summer, visitors won't see glaciers or ice and snow, but they will get impressive views of giant fjords. The fjords have been a US National Monument since the late 1970s, and the dramatically carved granite cliffs demonstrate the strength of the glaciers that formed the fjords.

Tracy Arm Fjord in Alaska

Tracy Arm is a deep fjord that is 23 miles long near Juneau. It is home to the Sawyer Glaciers, and the cruise up the narrow glacial valley is quite spectacular. 

Alaska Railroad Train

If your cruise starts or ends in Seward, you might have a chance to ride the Grandview train between Seward and Anchorage. This is one of Alaska's most scenic train rides and is a perfect way to see some of the interior. 

Un-Cruise Adventures - Alaska Cruise Travel Journal

One of the best ways to see wildlife and get an up-close view of glaciers is on a small cruise ship in Alaska. This cruise photo travel journal of a 7-night Alaska Inside Passage cruise from Ketchikan to Juneau on the small adventure ship the Wilderness Discoverer of Un-Cruise Adventures provides a good overview of a small ship cruise in Alaska. 

The Boat Company - Alaska Cruise Travel Journal

Anyone who loves to fish, kayak, or hike will enjoy an Alaska cruise with The Boat Company. The company has two tiny ships, and I sailed on the Mist Cove, a 24-passenger adventure ship. My husband and I loved the halibut and salmon fishing, along with the unique sightseeing opportunities the tiny ship offered. This cruise journal provides photos of some of the things we did in Alaska with The Boat Company. 

Seven Seas Voyager - Large Ship Alaska Cruise Log

Those who love to be pampered on board, enjoy larger cabins, and desire more dining venues can still enjoy much of what Alaska has to offer on a large or mid-sized cruise ship. This photo journal provides a look at a voyage between Seward and Vancouver on the Regent Seven Seas Mariner cruise ship.

Small Ship Alaska Cruise Log

Although Cruise West is no longer in business, this cruise log from 2007 provides a good look at many of the places in see in Alaska and the things to do in Sitka, Juneau, Ketchikan, Skagway, Petersburg, and Haines.

Carnival Legend Cruise Ship Photo Tour After Recent Refurbishment

These Carnival Legend photos were taken in Sitka, Alaska , shortly after the ship emerged from an extensive refurbishment. I was living in Sitka at the time, so when the cruise ship docked there, it was the perfect opportunity to see the new upgrades and additions. 

With nearly all guests off the ship (this isn’t the Caribbean), I was able to photograph almost every public space from the ship’s top to bottom, bow to stern, without waiting for people to move out of the frame. 

Timing was perfect; this was the last cruise of the season. 

Carnival Legend Cruise Ship Photos

Carnival Legend is the third ship built in the Carnival Spirit Class, launched in 2002. It’s now one of the smaller ships in the fleet with only 2,124 passengers.

As the ship’s name implies, Carnival Legend pays tribute to all sorts of legends, fact and fiction. You’ll find Merlin’s Casino, Golden Fleece Steakhouse, and Atlantis Lounge. There’s even a wall-size group photo of the greatest Hollywood superstar legends. 

Photo Tour: Beginning Outside at the Aft Sports Deck

Up on Deck 11 is where you’ll find the Sports Deck. The aft area of Carnival Legend is a multi-use basketball court. You can see the light blue walking/jogging track just outside the netting.

Forward Sports Deck

From where I’m standing in this photo, if you look back, you can see the Sky Deck (Deck 12) and the railing near the base of Carnival’s trademarked red funnel. To reach the Sky Deck from here, you have to go down one deck, cross the Sun Deck and then up two decks to get to the Sky Deck.

Carnival WaterWorks aft on the Sports Deck

Carnival Legend Sun Deck 

While not an official walking or jogging track, you can walk Carnival Legend’s Sun Deck all the way around. Here in Alaska, especially on a typical rainforest drizzly day, the lounge chairs were in neat rows. Sometimes in sunny and warm weather, passengers will move the chairs to their liking, making it difficult to walk the loop.

Just so you know, 3.5 laps around the entire Sun Deck is equal to one mile. 

From the Sun Deck you can see across to the other side of the Lido Deck. There are another set of pools, with a sliding glass dome cover if needed.

Golden Fleece Steakhouse

Also on the Sun Deck is Carnival’s signature Steakhouse. On Carnival Legend , it’s the Golden Fleece Steakhouse, again…another legend-based name. When I was onboard, there was construction going on so I couldn’t get inside for a photo. This pic is from Carnival.

Aside from the pools shown above, the Lido Deck has a lot of other venues and activities. Starting at the aft of the ship is the adults-only Serenity pool and lounge area.

In the Caribbean, this is a really great space to meet friends or just hang out and relax.

Moving forward on Lido Deck to the Buffet

As you walk towards the front of the ship from the Serenity Pool area, the first venue is the Unicorn Café. Yes, this ship is named “Legend” for a reason. 

My favorite places to eat are through the next set of doors

Unfortunately, they were closed, too.

And just across on the other side of Carnival Legend …

Walk a little further and you’ll find…

RedFrog Rum Bar

And the BlueIguana Tequila Bar . These bars are opened when people return from their day in Sitka.

Spa Carnival

Keep walking in the same direction and you’ll eventually bump into the Spa. The Thalassotherapy Pool is rimmed by treadmills and other exercise equipment. The view from here is pretty darn good. 

There’s a beauty salon, men’s grooming and of course spa rooms. With no one around to open a spa treatment room door, you can imagine they are just like any cruise ship spa treatment room. 

Carnival Legend Photo Tour now has to skip down four decks. The next decks, Panorama, Verandah, Empress and Upper are all staterooms. The only exception is Camp Carnival, located all the way to the front on Upper Deck. 

Main Deck 

The Main Deck is almost all staterooms, like the four decks above it. However,  all the way at the bow (the front of the ship) is where you’ll find the Follies Main Show Lounge. 

You can enter the Follies theater from Decks 2, 3 and 4.

Atlantic Deck Photos – This Deck is Busy 

Atlantic Deck is where much of the action aboard takes place. The Enchanted Forest Indoor Promenade is adjacent to Follies.

Holmes Library

Sherlock Holmes is indeed a legend and this library bears his name. With a nod to Holmes’ British heritage, the library is a mixture of dark wood, warm colors and cozy nooks for reading.

Wedding Chapel

Billie’s Piano Bar

For sure my favorite lounge on Carnival Legend . When I walked in, a passenger was playing Intermezzo on the beautiful grand piano. He was so good that I thought he must have been an onboard musician.

Next, I took a walk along the Hollywood Boulevard Upper Promenade.

More legends. If you’re an old movies buff, here are photos of greatest of Hollywood’s star legends. This photo below was taken at Louis B. Mayer’s request to celebrate MGM’s 20th birthday. Can you name all the movie stars? 

As I continued my walk towards the aft of the ship, I passed the row of Fun Shops and Cherry on Top candy store. Finally, I reached the Odyssey Foyer Lounge that leads to the main dining room, Truffles. 

Truffles’ doors were closed so here’s a Carnival photo of the dining room.

Down one more deck to the…

Promenade Deck – Deck 2

Here’s the lower level of Truffles (you can see the upper level in the photo). As I walked towards the front of Carnival Legend , on one side of the ship is Medusa’s Lair Dance Club.

Medusa’s Lair is a two-story dance club. This is the upper level. 

Alchemy Bar is on the other side. This place is always packed, especially on sea days. 

Carnival Legend Lobby

Smack in the middle of the ship on Deck 2 is the soaring Lobby. Sometimes called an Atrium, this is also the deck where on most occasions, especially Embarkation Day, passengers enter the ship. 

The bank of glass elevators is on the right. Definitely worth a ride up and down. 

Bonsai Sushi

As I kept walking towards the front of the ship, I knew the casino had to show up eventually.

Club Merlin Casino

Last but not least…two usually very crowded bars.

Dreamteam Sports Bar

RedFrog Pub –  Carnival’s signature watering hole. Live entertainment, too. 

Smaller, but certainly not lacking any typical Carnival amenities, Carnival Legend is one of my favorite ships in this cruise line. Especially if you choose one of Carnival Legend’s more unique itineraries.

Carnival Spirit ®

• Dining & Activities
• Sails From:

Carnival Spirit is more than a ship, but an unforgettable vacation experience you’ll be reliving for a long time. Whether you’re after something that’s action-packed or just want to relax and unwind, this ship has what you’re looking for. (Our suggestion: choose both!) There’s heaps of fun to be had, and there’s definitely something in it for everyone; little ones, big ones and the whole family. We’re talking about a mini-golf course, two-deck fitness center, jogging track, Serenity Adult-Only Retreat ™ , pools, a spa and more. And playing it cool isn’t hard at WaterWorks ™ — after all, you’re among waterslides like Green Thunder — plus you can always cool down, or warm up, with a dip in our domed swimming pool. Keep the kids entertained with three age-appropriate youth programs that give them plenty of choice on activities and fun chances to make new friends. Our recommendation: sail hungry. After all, you’ll be enjoying meals in three-course style in the Empire Restaurant or just go ahead and build a meal with as many courses as you like at the casual-style, variety-packed Lido Restaurant. Speaking of casual, the trio of RedFrog ® Pub, Guy’s Burger Joint and BlueIguana Cantina ™ each put their own delicious spins on flavor itself. To get a little fancy, sit down at Nouveau Steakhouse. To get a lot un-fancy — and we mean this in the most delicious way possible — check out late-night soft-serve (till midnight) or pizza (till 4 a.m.)! When the sun goes down, the fun’s over. Nope, just kidding! Carnival Spirit features bars and lounges, plus entertainment that’s great for when you’re feeling like live comedy, musical performances and more. Feel like helping out a little? All the vocal cords are encouraged to participate at the piano bar. Feeling lucky? The casino’s right over there. Carnival Spirit is no stranger to amazing vacations… and hopes you won’t be a stranger either!

INSIDE THIS SHIP

Just like a delicious cake, your ship is made of layers. Find out which fun ingredients — staterooms, dining, activities — go into each deck.

YOUR STATEROOM

Interior with window (obstructed view).

Every room includes:

• Dedicated stateroom attendant
• Soft, cozy linens
• Plenty of closet and drawer space
• In-room safe for valuables
• Stateroom climate control

Premium Balcony

Step into a Premium Balcony stateroom aboard Carnival Spirit and it’s easy to see exactly what you’re getting: one seriously spacious stateroom. It’s about more than just the room itself, you’ll find… step onto your oversized balcony and you’ll find that when there’s a sea breeze in your hair, there’s no limit to the relaxation you can have.

Premium Balcony (Obstructed View)

Step into a Premium Balcony stateroom aboard Carnival Spirit and it’s easy to see exactly what you’re getting: one seriously spacious stateroom. It’s about more than just the room itself… step onto your oversized balcony and you’ll find that when there’s a sea breeze in your hair, there’s no limit to the relaxation you can have. (Note that rooms of this type have obstructed views.)

Aft-View Extended Balcony

Aft-View Extended Balcony staterooms feature a larger balcony for more lounge-around room, more kick-back space… not to even mention some of the best stern-side views you'll find anywhere. Get ready to relax as you gaze upon the ship's gentle wake from your spacious balcony.

Extended Balcony

Extended Balcony staterooms feature a larger balcony with more outdoor lounge-around room, more open-air kick-back space… and back inside the room itself, all the comfort you expect with a great view and plenty of sunlight.

Balcony staterooms were designed for maximum sea breeze and the most stunning views, so look to a balcony if you’re looking to cruise aboard Carnival Spirit. Any time you’re in your room, you’re just steps away from your own personal outdoor oasis, featuring the sort of sea view you can also feel.

Balcony (Obstructed View)

An Obstructed View Balcony stateroom on Carnival Spirit provides all the indoor amenities of a Carnival stateroom, as well as some of the outdoor ones as well, including your own personal outdoor space that’s great for stretching out and relaxing.

Grand Suite

A Grand Suite aboard Carnival Spirit features even more space than the standard suite — plenty of room in your room! This stateroom is loaded for an unparalleled experience: VIP check-in, a huge balcony, and even a convenient dressing area with vanity.

Amenities exclusive to suites:

• Priority check-in and boarding
• Priority Main Dining Room time assignment
• Priority debarkation at homeport, and ports of call requiring a water shuttle or with arrival times later than 9:30 Am
• Two large bottles of water
• Pillow-top mattress

Plus, every room includes:

Vista Suite

Don’t get us wrong — a Carnival Spirit Vista Suite stateroom is a lovely room with all the suite fixings. But the thing to see here is truly the view that your balcony affords you. A Vista Suite features a wraparound balcony that provides wide, stunning views when you’re outside, and a uniquely panoramic inside view thanks to a wall of windows that brings more of that outside inside.

Ocean Suite

A Carnival Spirit suite is the ultimate way to cruise. With more space for stretching out indoors, plus a large balcony for kicking back outdoors, try an Ocean Suite to experience private, luxurious relaxation. Ocean Suites also include VIP check-in, walk-in closet and bathroom with whirlpool tub.

Junior Suite

As you step into a Junior Suite aboard Carnival Spirit, you can’t help but feel that you’re stepping into full-size luxury in a smaller package. Featuring a standard-size balcony, in a Carnival Spirit Junior Suite you'll find everything else there is to love about a suite, including VIP check-in, a walk-in closet… and even a whirlpool tub for relaxing.

ONBOARD ACTIVITIES

Onboard dining, where to for you.

This ship is always visiting great vacation spots. Where will your next vacation take you?
