For those looking for a cruise-only experience, this is a great option. It is a round-trip cruise from San Francisco (meaning you will not have to by one-way tickets like you will for a cross-gulf cruise), and you still hit the highlights of the Inside Passage; Juneau, Ketchikan, Skagway & Glacier Bay National Park. While you will not be able to add a land tour, it offers a great sampling of Alaska.
