Anchorage is the largest city in Alaska, and it's no accident that many of our cruisetours begin and end in this major metropolis. As locals say, "Anchorage is great. It's only 20 minutes from Alaska." Here, you'll find everything you would find in a city in the lower 48. But it serves as a great introduction to Alaska, too. 

There's so much to do in Anchorage, we could never capture it all. So cruisetours visiting Anchorage usually provide guests with free time to explore on their own. You might want to check out some of the fun activities listed here, or perhaps discover something new on your own. After all, independence is the true spirit of Alaska.
