WHAT'S ON YOUR TRAVEL BUCKET LIST

Most people have a Travel Bucket List so Princess Cruises decided to conduct a poll to learn what destinations and travel experiences were on the top of the list for 2011.  Over 25% of the folks responding said Alaska was their #1 destination followed by the Caribbean at 15% and Europe #3 at 14%.  As a qualified expert selling Alaska, and having experienced a great deal of what Alaska has to offer, I’m not surprised.

In my opinion the best way to experience Alaska is by ship.  Experiencing the Inside Passage on a 7-day cruise from Seattle is awesome with port calls in Juneau, the capital of Alaska; Ketchikan, with its quaint waterfront and fishing culture; Skagway, a once bustling Gold Rush town, and a day cruise in Glacier Bay National Park.  For the folks that want more, a Cruisetour may be in order by extending the experience with a land package.  Take in the beauty of Mt McKinley, the wildlife in Denali National Park, experience the Kenai Peninsula or maybe a trip to Fairbanks and take a cruise on the Chena River aboard a Sternwheeler Riverboat.  If it is wildlife, gold mines, glaciers, or just to take in some of the most beautiful scenery on the planet, there is something for everyone!
