[quote=Anonymous]If you are willing to be more adventurous, take the Alaska Marine Highway, aka the Alaska Ferries.  They leave from Bellingham, WA with two sailings a week in the summer -- go up the Inside Passage with a number of stops.  One sailing goes as far up as Skagway and Sitka, while the other goes up the Inside Passage through Juneau, and then continues across the Gulf of Alaska to the Kenai Peninsula.  You can choose where you get off and start your land adventure.  And then you can fly back to SEA, or pick up another ferry on the way back down.

My family took the ferries several times when I was growing up, and I took my daughter when she was five as far as Ketchikan.  It is definitely not a cruise, but it is an experience .... they have naturalists from the Forest Service on board, and a movie theater, but the cafeteria is the main food option and many of the state rooms have the toilet/shower down the hall.  People even camp on the top deck in their tents to save the $$ on a state room.  I have always loved it![/quote]
