Spend two days before or after your Alaska cruise exploring the quaint Alaskan town of Juneau. Enjoy two nights at Juneau's Westmark Baranof hotel.

The trip was terrific with great planning on your part. Most of the adventures were not mainstream and somewhat off the beaten path which made it especially enjoyable!! We felt taken care of and you all were readily available to respond to questions and issues. I would highly recommend your company and friends have already expressed interest based on our pictures and excitement.
