Inside Passage or Voyage of the Glaciers?

[Lml513]

Is it worthwhile to take the Alaska Voyage of the Glaciers cruise if we do not have time for a cruisetour? The airfare r/t to Seattle for the Inside Passage cruie is a lot less.

IMHO it is although this year Princess isn't going to Glacier Bay from Seattle but in 2010 they will. Tracy Arm is lovely but that's the major thing that doesn't make Seattle as desirable. However the airfare is less and for that and other reasons they will be sailing from Seattle with 3 ships I think next year and at least one to Glacier Bay. You also have "sea time" from Seattle unless they alter that as well and that means missing the passage between Vancouver Island and Canadian mainland.. lovely day.

If you don't have time/money for a cruisetour I would not miss Alaska for that reason!

It is if you go to Glacier Bay. The scenery there is spectacular.
