As Alaska's biggest city, this serves as one of the main ports for some of our Alaska cruises. Its location on the south-central part of the state on the Cook Inlet south of Denali National Park makes it a great gateway to adventure and exploration of Alaska's virgin wilderness - an excellent extension of a cruise. While it is usually just a stop on an Adventure Life expedition, you will usually have a chance to enjoy a meal in town and learn a bit more about the lore and legends at the famous Alaska Native Heritage Center, where you can witness dance and cultural displays and exhibits that will immerse you in Alaska's centuries-old indigenous traditions. Experience authentic Alaska at a wilderness lodge such as Tutka Bay Lodge. Contact one of our Alaska trip experts now to start planning your dream trip to Anchorage today!

Adventure Life couldn’t have provided a better travel experience, from the start of planning through the entire tip itself. The agents were very helpful and quickly responsive to our questions and needs. We were well taken care of and the trip was smooth sailing, both literally and figuratively. The cruise line, the hotel, and the extra excursions that Adventure Life provided were superb and without flawsThe price was reasonable when we compared the planned trip to what was offered by others. We would highly recommend both Adventure Life and Emerald Cruise Line to anyone interested in an enjoyable, relaxing, and informative travel experience.

Jessica was very responsive to my questions and never balked when I asked her to go back and find more options. She really worked hard to find the right cruise for us.
