karen327 Posted March 19, 2009 #1 Share Posted March 19, 2009 This question is being asked to sesoned cruisers, where in the world did you take your most scenic cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agabbymama Posted March 19, 2009 #2 Share Posted March 19, 2009 That's a toss up, Canada/New England and Alaska. Different scenery, but both were very scenic. I think New England/Canada offered the best scenery down the St. Lawrence River and the Saguenay Fjord. But Tracy Arm and Glacier Bay on the Alaska cruise are right up there too.

retiredonthesea Posted March 19, 2009 #3 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I have to agree Alaska has awsome scenery. Just the wildlife along is unforgettable( bears, whales, eagles, sealions/otters ect. ect.), not to mention the glaciers. We will be doing South America next spring and I hear that also has fabulous scenery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserbryce Posted March 19, 2009 #4 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Alaska!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamomo Posted March 19, 2009 #5 Share Posted March 19, 2009 We did a Tahiti and French Polynesia cruise a few months ago, and the views and scenery were breathtaking. So for me, that's my current choice. But my DD and I are taking an Alaska cruise in September, and from what I've read and heard, the beauty of the scenery there may eclipse the South Pacific, which, in my mind, is hard to imagine. Can't wait to find out which one will be my choice for the most spectacular scenery! They are so diverse, that maybe I won't be able to choose one over the other.

linkerbink Posted March 19, 2009 #10 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Alaska...especially the Misty Fiords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeys pal Posted March 19, 2009 #11 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I am not a seasoned traveler,but the most scenic cruise we have been on is the Pride Of America 7 day Hawaiian Cruise.If you have never been to the Island of Kauai,you have missed a lot of natural beauty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamfan Posted March 19, 2009 #12 Share Posted March 19, 2009 We have done Alaska and really enjoyed it, but because we live in similar surroundings, I would have to say the trip we took through the Panama Canal was the most scenic. Absolutely amazing scenery, and the engineering that went into was just mind blowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G'ma Posted March 19, 2009 #13 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I've had 2 that are memorable to me. First one was a cruise on the Rhine. It was during "Rhein en Flammen" time. In addition to the most awesome scenery and ship, the Festival was astounding..... Then, cruised the Danube from Passau to Budapest on the Mozart. The approach to Budapest by river is breathtaking.... The whole cruise was one wonder after another....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesea777 Posted March 19, 2009 #14 Share Posted March 19, 2009 This has been dubbed as the World's Most Scenic cruise and we have to agree with it - twice. Hurtigruten's Norwegian Coastal Voyage cruises. Nothing will ever beat this. We have been to beautiful ports, islands, lands etc with NCL, but this is not "cruising". The Hurtigruten cruises really blew us away and I have over a thousand of photos to prove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbyz Posted March 19, 2009 #15 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Definitely Alaska, especially Glacier Bay. I agree with Trevoli that Venice was also very special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Rare CC Help Michell Posted March 20, 2009 Administrators #17 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I still have lots of places on my "Bucket List." So far, it would be 1) Alaska, and 2) Hawaii. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, there is no comparison whatsoever. Bora Bora, Moorea, et all, far outdistance the scenic beauty of Alaska. At least in my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sultan_sfo Posted March 20, 2009 #22 Share Posted March 20, 2009 South America with Antarctica. Beats Alaska hand down! Caution: Only a few South Americas cruise are with Antarctica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franu Posted March 20, 2009 #23 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I would have to say Antarctica. It is very scenic and unspoiled. I was very fortunate to have landings there. On that same trip we went to Iguassu Falls which is also incredible. Fran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitty9 Posted March 20, 2009 #24 Share Posted March 20, 2009 The cruise up the Norway coast and then up to the Arctic Circle. The White Nights were incredible and the Arctic ice shelf was unbelievable . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spikesgirl Posted March 20, 2009 #25 Share Posted March 20, 2009 For a river cruise, it was the Yangtze. For a ocean cruise, it was probably Alaska, although we really enjoyed the fjords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
