My personal picks out of these 4 cruise port:

Juneau - Whale watching; Mendenhall Glacier, Helicopter Ride up on the Glacier; Riding the Tram (eating dungenous crabs up top); canoe ride the glacier.

Skagway - White Pass Railroad and go up into the Yukon !

Ketchikan - Deadliest catch boat tour (include seeing the eagles); catching dungenous crabs (crab feast); totem poles and Indian dancers.

Sitka - Eagle Wildlife Preserve and Indian dancers.




On land, in these cities ....
