Alaska Shore Excursions

Welcome to the Last Frontier

Alaska, affectionately known as "The Last Frontier" is where epic landscapes and endless opportunities for exploration greet adventurers. With 17 of North America's 20 tallest peaks, over 100,000 glaciers, more than three million lakes, nearly 6,700 miles of coastline, 33,900 miles of shoreline, and over 70 active volcanoes, Alaska sets the stage for truly breathtaking encounters. Here, you can witness the mystical Northern Lights dancing overhead, wander through iconic destinations like Denali National Park, Kenai Fjords National Park, and Glacier Bay, and immerse yourself in a world of majestic beauty, abundant wildlife, and untouched wilderness.

While a cruise along Alaska's coastal waters offers a taste of this grandeur, it’s only the beginning of your journey. To fully appreciate the state's immense wonders, step off the ship and take part in a guided Alaska shore excursion. Whether you're soaring over icefields in a helicopter, paddling through pristine fjords, or walking in the footsteps of gold rush pioneers, exploring all that Alaska has to offer is easy with Shore Excursions.
