5 Reasons Why You Should Cruise Alaska's Inside Passage

When planning for an Alaska cruise, keep in mind that there are two routes to choose from: The Inside Passage (hugging the British Columbia, Canada, shoreline from Washington’s Puget Sound to Skagway, Alaska) and Cross Gulf (along the Gulf of Alaska and Prince William Sound). Both offer amazing views, incredible wildlife, and mouthwatering seafood, which makes the decision all the more difficult. However, an Inside Passage cruise wins out when you consider the easier, round-trip flights, a shorter itinerary, and sailing through tight, scenic narrows.
