Which would you choose?

I need to choose between the "Adventure to Glacier Point by Speedcat" (Skagway) or the "Tracy Arm Fjord & Glacier Explorer" (Tracy Arm/Juneau). The Tracy Arm excursion leaves directly from the ship when it is cruising in the Tracy Arm. Which would you choose? Thanks!

They are different, and with Tracy Arm being your glacier sailing day?? I would definately purchase the add on tour, far superior. But I would consider both if glaciers are of interest??

Thanks BQ. Looking throught this site, it obvious that you know your stuff about Alaska.

 

Can you help me understand how the 2 excursions I mentioned are different? Choosing shore excursions is turning out to be more difficult than the ship itself. Any other direction you can proide for Skagway, Sitka, Juneau & Ketchikan would be appreciated. What would yoy say are the can't miss excursions?

Pappy,

 

I don't know what the Speedcat tour includes, but I took a day tour through Tracy Arm the summer before last and despite living in AK for the past 26 years, I was in total awe.

Budget Queen,

We'll need to meet on your next cruise!

You are in different areas with different scenery. Frankly- there are more not to miss- then you can do in 5 trips. :) Please determine what are your priorities and then look at tours that go in that direction. Plenty of big compromises indeed. :)
