We greatly enjoyed the inland passage cruise on Holland America from Vancouver to Alaska. The stops (mostly day-long) were sufficient and shore activities well-planned. Especially enjoyed the dances and stories put on for us by Tlingits at Saxman Village near Ketchikan. Saw seals etc. and dolphins on the Lynn Canal which we cruised to Skagway (excellent salmon dinner onshore at a good fish place, included in Lynn Canal tour cost). A flight back to Juneau.

I enjoyed flying over the glaciers in a 4-seated plane ('I' because my wife was concentrating on keeping the little plane from crashing onto the jagged ice fields. She still cringes at the memory). Boarding the little planes were amusing because we were lined up according to weight and assigned to a plane in the fleet waiting for us. Embarassing for the overweight.
All side tour charges were very reasonable.

At cruise end and a bus ride to Anchorage, we rented a car (Anchorage is a beautiful city, with a fine museum) and went to Denali, took a park tour, and on to Fairbanks, with stops on the way. One must reserve ahead of time for the better tours and hikes; they limit the numbers admitted.
Motels, etc. reasonable. Flew back from Anchorage (air fares included in cruise charge).

Shipboard expenses were few, food good and too plentiful. I bought a good windbreaker, very reasonable in the shipboard shop, and the odd item in the drugstore.
Valdez the only stop I didn't like, but saw that a few otters were back.

Whole-heartedly recommended!

(Some people drank their way so had pretty big bar tabs).
