Considering A Cruise On Your Honeymoon? Try Alaska
Taking a cruise for your honeymoon provides an opportunity for you to start your married life in a state of relaxation and Alaska has some of the most scenic and unspoiled vistas you will ever get to experience. Cruising past ancient glaciers and under soaring bald eagles can only be done in Alaska. Most Alaskan cruises are 7 night cruises, but some are 12 night cruise tours that will also take you to places like Denali National Park.
Cruising presents the comfort of five star luxury accommodations and provides unending excitement, adventure, the opportunity to get to know each other and to make new friends aboard your sea adventure.
Typical ports of call include:
Juneau - The capital of Alaska offers world class hiking through glacial waterfalls and trough the largest temperate rain forest in the state.
Ketchikan - When you visit Ketchikan no visit is complete without visiting the totem pole museum where you can lean about the purposes of the totem poles, and how they were made. Be sure to have an umbrella when you are in Ketchikan, it is the rainiest city in the United States.
Skagway - When gold was discovered in Canada's Yukon Territory in 1898, Skagway became the launching point for many gold seekers. While in Skagway be sure to ride the famous White Pass and Yukon Railroad and visit the Red Onion Saloon.
Destination options in Alaska include glacier hiking, whale watching, bear watching, fishing and of course shopping. For the truly adventurous you can follow the footsteps of the Klondike gold rush miners up the White Pass. All cruise lines offering honeymoon packages have exquisitely appointed suites, gyms, swimming pools, spas, salons, shopping and casinos to pamper the cruiser and energize the mind, body and spirit.
There's no need to be concerned that you won't know what to do or what to bring on a cruise, there are many resources available online and directly with the cruise line to assist you in packing, activities planning and leisure options. And fear not, should you forget to pack an item for your honeymoon, the cruise ship will have shops onboard at which you can purchase anything from basic necessities to luxury items and souvenirs for friends back home.
Considering the option of only having to unpack once, visiting multiple locations, and being able to spend some quality time with your new spouse aboard a self-sufficient floating city, you can't go wrong cruising to Alaska on your honeymoon!

What are some things to do in Denali National Park or Talkeetna, Alaska in the summer?
Hi I'm possibly going to be making a trip to Alaska in the summer (May or June probably) and I'm seeing about taking the Alaska Railroad train from Anchorage to either Denali National Park or to Talkeetna but was wondering what are some of the things that one could do in the area like hiking, rafting, going to any glaciers or any of that type of thing any information would greatly be appreciated!
Thank You!
Late May or June would be a good time. Early May, the leaves wouldn't be on the trees in some places. In June, the wildflowers are blooming and you have a greater chance of seeing a moose calf or bear. You can hike in Denali National Park. Go to the National Park Service web site for information on campgrounds, hiking permits, bus rides to places to hike, rules for food, etc.
There is a rafting concession within walking distance of the Park, floating the Nenana River.
You might want to also consider taking the train to Seward, where you can see Exit Glacier, the Sea Life Center and take a boat ride to watch for seabirds and whales.
