HCTiger9704 Posted June 25, 2013 #1 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I am thinking about going on an Alaskan Cruise in Summer 2014. I am wondering what books, magazines, blogs, est. I should read? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arusha Posted June 25, 2013 #2 Share Posted June 25, 2013 The two books most often recommended on CC have been: "The Alaska Cruise Handbook" by Joe Upton "Alaska by Cruise Ship" by Anne Vipond They provide a good overview of the ports and the interesting sights for tourists. Both have large pull-out maps. The Upton map is detailed and heavily annotated, and is the one I brought along on my cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdmlynek Posted June 25, 2013 #3 Share Posted June 25, 2013 "The Alaska Cruise Handbook" by Joe Upton I was pleasantly surprised how well written this book is. I highly recommend it. It not as much of a typical tour guide (e.g., Fodor, Frommers, Lonely Planet, and like), but concentrates on the history and context of what you are seeing.

Rare Keith1010 Posted June 25, 2013 #4 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I would also say the Alaska Cruise Handbook is a wise choice of something to read. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
