The Best Alaska Cruise Excursions to Book in 2025, From Dogsledding to Whale Watching
The best Alaska cruise excursions can range from the thrilling to the serene. Passengers can fly on sleds led by huskies, ogle bald eagles and salmon-gobbling grizzlies, and soar over towering glaciers in a helicopter. And the best part? All these activities are available for you as part of the cruise line’s selection of shore excursions—as a way for travelers to sample the diverse wonders of the 49th state in one visit.
Wildlife viewing trips may be the more popular Alaska cruise shore excursions, but travelers shouldn't overlook incredible opportunities to learn about the state’s Indigenous cultures (there are over 229 federally recognized tribes representing 11 distinct cultures in Alaska), as well as culinary experiences centered around local favorites such as fresh seafood, berries, produce, and craft beer.

Ship-Free Saturdays? Juneau Votes Against Limiting Large Cruise Ships.
We stand shoulder to shoulder in a line along a narrow pathway, our hike interrupted by the sighting of a bear. Pin-drop silent and with binoculars and cameras raised, we wait. Will the lumbering beast show herself again amid the tall grasses? My daughter stands stock-still next to me, one hand curled around her Canon Rebel, the other steadying a long-range lens. Suddenly, a collective gasp from the group as a mama bear enters the clearing with one — no, two — no, three cubs in tow.

Not a Cruise Guy, But Exploring the Sea of Cortez Anyway - Yucatán Magazine
We touch glasses when toasting because sound is the only sense not used when we drink and clinking addressed the need. Dan Blanchard, the CEO of UnCruise Adventures, told me that on the night we met and as I was about to discover, the senses would play an important role over the next week.
I was Dan’s guest for a cruise aboard the Safari Voyager in the Gulf of California or Sea of Cortez. UnCruise Adventures is not your typical cruise line. They run small boats — ours carried 66 guests — and pride themselves on an adventure-focused and eco-friendly experience. Obviously, this attracts people with a passion to explore so instead of pulling into a port town to shop, the Voyager would drop anchor off the shore of a deserted island and we would take pontoon skiffs to the beach, jump into the water and wade in to begin that day’s activity. We weren’t John Steinbeck and Ed Ricketts on their epic Log from the Sea of Cortez adventure, but with a face full of spray, the Baja sun on our backs, and turquoise water at our feet, we sure felt like it.
