Canuker Posted September 28, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 28, 2019 I'm looking at QE out of Vancouver July 09, 2020. The marketing blurb quotes "Anchorage" as a port of call. One of the reasons we are interested in the cruise is because it seems to be one of the few that actually docks right in "Anchorage". Can anyone in the know please tell me if it is indeed Anchorage, rather than one of the outlier ports that requires busing to/from the Capital? If not, which port will it put into, please?

BobBranst Posted September 28, 2019 #2 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Although I don't believe that Anchorage has a dedicated cruise ship terminal, cruise ships from Holland America and others have docked at the city's industrial port and shuttled passengers into the city proper. This July 9, 2020 cruise does look interesting since it also has a stop in Kodiak, which is not a typical Alaskan cruise ship port of call.

A few years ago, my wife and I were on a 14-night HAL cruise that docked in Anchorage and also spent a day in Kodiak. Kodiak is indeed a special place, and the QE will probably be the only ship there that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vannerhawk Posted September 29, 2019 #4 Share Posted September 29, 2019 (edited) FYI capital of Alaska is Juneau Edited September 29, 2019 by vannerhawk spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted September 30, 2019 #5 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I think it may be going up to Anchorage. The 14 Jul 2020 voyage lists both Anchorage and Seward. Seward or Whittier are the two Alaska ports one way from Vancouver. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neuhoftraveler Posted September 30, 2019 #6 Share Posted September 30, 2019 A little route map in the latest Cunard mailing we've received clearly shows that voyage going up to Anchorage itself, and also to Kodiak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rafinmd Posted September 30, 2019 #7 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Whatever it is you will be nowhere near the capitol. That's Juneau, hundreds of miles away. Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how many Americans do you think could name even the capitol of 2 provinces? Maybe they're just more polite than me but at least 3 Americans either didn't notice it or didn't mention it.

Underwatr Posted October 2, 2019 #11 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Not particularly pertinent to the basic question, IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
